After sixteen miserable years of being unloved by both his father and mother, Zhou Ziqing received a miracle: he was the real young master of the Song Family of Shengjing, switched at birth. Song Yuanyu, who was currently in high school, was the magpie that had occupied his nest.
Zhou Ziqing wholeheartedly believed his life was about to change. But sixteen years of living in poverty had left him coarse and timid, and he felt out of place in the family he had longed for.
Besides, the Song Family had brought Zhou Ziqing back without sending Song Yuanyu away.
Although Song Yuanyu was a fake young master with no blood relation to the Song Family, he was the refined and proud one everyone saw as the family's future heir. Mr. and Mrs. Song doted on him, the young masters and ladies of other families respected him, and even the butler and servants called him “Young Master.”
Zhou Ziqing felt like a villain from some third-rate novel, brought back only to show how wonderful Song Yuanyu was.
Hidden in a corner, he watched Song Yuanyu with jealousy flowing through his eyes like lava.
But it should all have been his.
His.

Zhou Ziqing couldn't help picking fights with Song Yuanyu, trying to take back what should have been his. His methods were cruel and clumsy, and all he got in return were more and more looks of disgust.
In the end, even his fate was just like that of a villain in a novel.
He died on a rainy night.
He lay in a pitch-black room, all alone. No one knew that his life was quietly withering away.

When he opened his eyes again, Zhou Ziqing had been reborn on his sixteenth birthday, the day he was first brought back to the Song Family. Looking at the lavish mansion before him, a chill spread from his fingertips throughout his body.
Then a gentle voice brought him back to his senses. “Ziqing, to help you adjust to your new life as soon as possible, how about I tutor you?”
Song Yuanyu, distant as the bright moon, stood before him with books in his arms, looking at him with sincere warmth.
Zhou Ziqing watched him for a moment, then gave a faint laugh. “Okay.”
But he had already decided he didn't want any of it.
Everything he had once longed for, he no longer wanted.
