After becoming the most popular character in a comic-book world, Gu Qingyan was finally able to return to his original world with his bound System and retire in peace. However, he soon discovered a major problem.
After spending ten years diligently playing his role in the script without ever letting his guard down, he had developed an occupational hazard.
As long as the circumstances were right, he would automatically slip into his tragic, beautiful, and powerful persona.
And so, his retirement in his original world went unexpectedly awry.
Everyone knew that the Seventh Prince, Gu Qingyan, was the most dissolute man in the world and a disgrace to the imperial family. But then they discovered that...
The youth they thought had harmed his own brothers took the blame for crimes he hadn't committed in front of the emperor. Even though he knew his elder brother had framed him, he said nothing.
The youth they scolded for being good for nothing was actually a man of great talent and vision. But forced by others to hide his brilliance, he concealed his abilities beneath the facade of a wastrel.
Yet even after enduring such humiliation, he was still framed by villains and poisoned with a strange toxin. Even the greatest healer in the land couldn't do a thing, and could only watch helplessly as the extraordinarily gifted youth grew weaker by the day.
Faced with the guilt and remorse of those around him, the youth, so cruelly treated by fate, remained gentle. "This isn't your fault."
Everyone else: No, it is our fault. We were blind and trusted the wrong people.
Gu Qingyan, whose occupational hazard had put him in this situation: ...It really isn't your fault.
Note:
1. A fun story with no romance. The male lead builds his career while ruling the world.
2. The male lead is perfectly healthy. This is the tragic story of a man who could easily take on ten people at once, but whom everyone thinks is a frail beauty.
Theme: Someone will always see your brilliance.
