I
The novel opens amid a plague of rats and the Black Death. It revolves around the love and hatred among eight great families and their struggle for power, highlighting the cleverness and intelligence of the protagonist, the one who is pursued. Beautiful in appearance and born out of wedlock, he relies on his own wits to cure the Black Death, awaken his magical talent, become a rare summoner, and forge his own path.
Ao Dai Xun transmigrates into the body of a slave who barely figures in the story.
II
He is one of the materials in the alchemist's tower. From the moment he was born, he belonged to this country and this territory as a slave, with a humiliating brand burned onto his back.
No one cares whether a slave lives or dies. Slaves exist to be exploited, earning the nobles even more money and wealth.
At fifteen, he was chosen by the lord and sent to the alchemy tower...
The alchemist killed countless slaves in his efforts to create the perfect puppet.
Soon, it would be his turn.
With help from an alchemist's apprentice, he escaped from that hell.
He wandered across a foreign continent.
But the protagonist's "kind deed" sent him right back to the alchemy tower.
His existence was meant to highlight the protagonist's goodness and kindness. Instead, he paid a terrible price, suffering to death and leaving his soul unable to find peace.
III
When Ao Dai Xun first read this book, he thought the little slave was especially pitiful.
After transmigrating, Ao Dai Xun did whatever it took to climb into the good graces of one powerful person after another...
"I'd give up the throne for you, Xiao Dai Xun. Please don't leave me," Protagonist Gong 1 begged him from his knees.
"I offer you my loyal heart, one that will never betray you. I will submit to you forever..." Protagonist Gong 2 presented him with the highest form of a knight's salute.
"I was wrong. I won't hurt a single hair on your head again, darling. If the alchemy tower makes you unhappy, I'll go destroy it right now..." Covered in wounds, Protagonist Gong 3 tried to grab him with bloodstained hands.
Ao Dai Xun stared blankly. "Back off, back off, back off!"
