Coming soon: The Starting Point Hero Holds a Haitang Script. Please add it to your favorites, and thanks for your support! Ji Yun was brought to the Prime Minister's residence at the age of ten, where he learned that his biological father was a powerful figure who held the court in his grip. He'd thought he'd live in luxury for the rest of his life. But his father blamed him for his mother's death and called him unfilial and uncouth. His stepmother accused him of being a scheming, ambitious wolf who coveted the family's treasures. Even the other young masters thought he was a stupid waste of space, nowhere near as good as his elder brother, Xue Lingyu. Xue Lingyu was refined and handsome, gentle and courteous. More unusually, he cared deeply for Ji Yun. Then one day, Ji Yun awakened to the truth: he was the villainous son of a concubine in a story. After offending a powerful person close to his elder brother, he'd be thrown out of the residence and die after less than two years of hardship. Ji Yun was so shocked he nearly died on the spot. In his panic, he heard that an imperial decree had been issued for someone to marry the new emperor to bring him good fortune. Seeing his younger sister preparing to elope with someone else, Ji Yun made a snap decision, put on a wedding gown, and climbed into the bridal sedan. Who could have guessed that the person he saw that night wouldn't be the young emperor, but his brother, the man who seemed as bright and untouchable as the moon? Only then did he learn that Xue Lingyu wasn't really surnamed Xue. His real name was Xiao Wanhe, the infamous, ruthless regent! * At first, Xiao Wanhe thought Xue Jiyun was glib and manipulative, always making advances without permission. Whenever things didn't go his way, he would whine in Xiao Wanhe's ear like a little bird with no sense of restraint. Later, Xiao Wanhe came to love making him cry, teasing him as he whispered in his ear, “Who's better, me or the late emperor?” [Content Warnings] 1.

Less than two years later, however, rebels usurped his throne, and he died beneath a hail of arrows. Later, he was reborn.
