Blurb:

Ever since Yinreng dreamed about his miserable future, he stopped trying. On top of that, when he woke up, he discovered he had unexpectedly gained something that could help him read people's emotions.

Wonderful. Even Heaven was helping him escape this living hell.

So Yinreng started making trouble every day.

Climbing trees today, diving into the water tomorrow, bouncing along the edge of Kangxi's patience every day. He did whatever he wanted and had a great time.

Later, he got lots of younger brothers. Yinreng secretly made a plan to get on good terms with all of them first. That way, when he was deposed in the future, they probably wouldn't make things too hard for him.

Just as everything was unfolding exactly as Yinreng expected, and he had maxed out everyone's favorability and was about to make his escape, they stopped him.

Yinzhi: Without Baocheng in the palace, what's the point of staying? Little brother's coming with you.

Yinzhi: Where is Crown Prince Brother going? Are you leaving Yinzhi behind?

Yinzhen: Brother, aren't you going to stay with Yinzhen anymore?

Yinqi: You're the only one in the palace who truly likes Yinqi, Brother. Are you abandoning me?

Yinzuo: Brother, Brother, take Yinzuo with you!

Looking at his younger brothers, who were blocking his way and glaring at him, Yinreng was at a loss.

Before he could get them all to back down, Kangxi showed up too.

Kangxi: Baocheng, your brothers all refuse to listen to one another. If you leave, this palace will never know a day's peace.

Yinreng looked at everyone staring fixedly at him, and at the full favorability bars above their heads. Without thinking, he took half a step back.

Wait, something seemed off. If their favorability was maxed out, why were they forcing him to remain Crown Prince? Shouldn't they be going along with what he wanted?

After Reincarnating as My Ama's Youngest Brother

Blurb:

After Honghui closed his eyes and became his Marfa's son, Yinmi, he discovered what life could really be like.

He didn't have to listen to his E'niang read to him all day or study himself to exhaustion. He didn't have to keep up appearances and miss out on having fun, and no one restricted how much he could eat each day.

Honghui could even be held by his Ama. His Ama smiled at him, cuddled him, and praised him without holding back.

This was the life Honghui had dreamed of, the life he had wanted more than anything.

So when he realized that one of his brothers seemed to be his Ama, only many years older, Honghui chose to pretend he hadn't noticed.

He was the Fourth Master's younger brother, not his son~

But his good days didn't last long.

In this life, his Ama was unwell and had no time to look after Honghui. Since Honghui was also so clingy, his Ama entrusted him to the Fourth Master, whom he trusted very much.

Honghui watched as the Fourth Master, who usually avoided people and paid him little attention, not only accepted the task but swept him up in his arms and headed outside.

Honghui: ...? What's going on?

Later, a new emperor ascended the throne. Since Honghui was still young, the new emperor kept him in the palace to study alongside the princes.

Honghui spent every day with the younger brothers from his previous life, who were now his nephews, and was very happy.

But one day, the emperor made a surprise visit to the study hall and spotted Honghui happily slacking off in class. He immediately pulled him out.

"What did I teach you before? Is this how you study?"

If Honghui remembered correctly, the emperor was extremely busy and had never had time to take an interest in his studies.

Hearing words that sounded so familiar, memories from his previous life came rushing back. His body tensed and his heart began to race. He stared at the emperor without saying a word.

What was going on?? Had he been found out??

That couldn't be right. He shouldn't have let anything slip.

P.S. 1. Most of this story takes place during the protagonist's childhood. It's a warm, doting-everyone kind of everyday-life story.

2. The story does not follow history. The events are entirely fictionalized.

Theme: You have to rely on yourself.
