At seventeen, Lin Xing came first in the imperial examinations, becoming the youngest top scholar since the founding of the Great Chen. He was the toast of the town, with a brilliant future ahead of him. Yet he gave up the fine post of Assistant Minister of the Court of Judicial Review to become the lord of a remote, impoverished town.
Onlooker: The second head of the Lin family must have gotten his head caught in a door.
The Seventh Prince, Jun Ze, was arrogant and overbearing, cold-hearted and utterly ruthless. He was a complete madman.
The two had long been at odds, but neither expected that when they met again, they would end up in the same bed.
Lin Xing: You bastard, how dare you take advantage of me?

Later, Lin Xing became a chancellor, second only to the emperor and above everyone else, a refined and cultured gentleman;
Jun Ze ascended the throne and became a wise and capable emperor.
