He is the current emperor's brother-in-law, and the son of the current prince. That prince is only a hair's breadth away from the throne.
He is a mediocre official with neither literary nor martial talent, nothing like his eldest brother, the Minister of Rites, or his third brother, the general.
He is a sinecure who only has to attend court to receive the same salary as the other fourth-rank officials.
He is an unfilial son in the prince's eyes.
He is a disgrace to the court in the eyes of the ministers.
He is, he is... In truth, he is nothing at all.
He is simply named Zhao Hua. He is simply himself.
The ending is one-on-one.
I'll do my best to keep updating. Sending flowers!
