In her previous life, Lan Ting rose to fame in the entertainment industry through her tearful performances. Just as she had finally secured her place, she transmigrated into the Great Yue dynasty as a fake prince who had been switched at birth.
The real prince was as refined as an orchid and as majestic as a mountain, a top scholar who had just won the imperial examinations.
The fake prince, meanwhile, was dull-witted, a wooden beauty with nothing but a pretty face.
They were worlds apart.
Because his identity was a royal scandal, he became the target of everyone's attacks at court. Many people wanted him dead.
Lan Ting had climbed so high in his previous life. He had no intention of letting anyone walk all over him in this one.
Besides, a "Yingyingying" System had come along with him.
By following the System's instructions to "yingyingying," he could earn achievements and ultimately become The Outcast.
Lan Ting clenched his fists.
Ever since his identity was exposed, everyone in the palace had taken a turn kicking him while he was down.
One day, someone drenched him with cold water. That night, a fine drizzle began to fall.
[Achieve "Tearful Eyes"]
He knocked on the Crown Prince's door. The Crown Prince frowned at his thinly clad figure.
Before the Crown Prince could speak, Lan Ting's eyes glistened with tears, bright as stars. "Crown Prince, is it going to thunder?"
"I'm scared."
As torrential rain poured down, the Crown Prince, who had always avoided getting close to others, personally led him inside.
The next day, word spread that Lan Ting had spent the night in the Eastern Palace. The entire palace trembled with fear.
Another day, the capital's nobles gathered for a banquet at Green Mountain. A certain marquis looked at Lan Ting with disdain.
Sitting in a sedan chair, Lan Ting gazed at the capital's most notorious playboy nearby.
[Achieve "Shimmering Tears"]
"Young Marquis, I want to play with you too."
The young marquis had just looked at him with disgust when he noticed the glimmer in Lan Ting's eyes and was instantly captivated.
Then he heard Lan Ting say, "But the marquis says I'm the son of a criminal, and that I have to die..."
The young marquis: ! No way!
A beauty like that... His father really was a piece of trash!
During the autumn hunt, everyone from the palace left, leaving Lan Ting behind.
He was terribly ill, but then he saw the real prince return from outside the palace, covered in dust and frost.
[Achieve "Pitiful and Helpless"]
Lan Ting: ?
Lan Ting was a good actor. Clutching his collar, his face flushed, he said, "Y-you're only coming back now?"
The real prince, who had always looked at him with cold eyes, faltered for a moment, his gaze trembling.
Later, even the Emperor and Empress felt they had wronged him. They bestowed the title of Prince Jin upon him, granting him a residence outside the palace.
Lan Ting eagerly packed his bags. That night, he was sipping wine at his own princely residence when...
The Crown Prince, who should have been in the Eastern Palace, appeared and asked, "Little Brother, do you like the place I chose for you?"
The young marquis climbed over the wall and insisted that from now on, Lan Ting could play with no one but him.
And even the real prince...
[Achieve "Uncontrollable Sobbing"]
Lan Ting: Sob~
Wait, what was that sound? So embarrassing...
The next moment, his body stiffened. The man behind him licked the tears from his face and whispered in his ear, "Good boy. Let it out."
Then the [Yingyingying] System skill: %#¥#...%&&...**@¥#%¥ activated!
Lan Ting: ?!
