The Lowly Bottom Reborn

Lin Xiaoyuan had been alone and helpless for over a decade, until he picked up a lover.

Gu Yan was as beautiful as a crane, but had fallen on hard times and ended up in Lin Xiaoyuan's ramshackle hut.

Lin Xiaoyuan did his best to nourish the crane's feathers.

In the dead of winter, he went out to gather firewood and boil water, until his hands broke out in chilblains, all because Gu Yan liked things clean.

He would rather go hungry himself than let Gu Yan go without a hot meal.

He did so much, but Gu Yan was never satisfied. Then one day, Gu Yan left without a word.

Only after hearing it from someone else did Lin Xiaoyuan learn that Gu Yan was the son of a high-ranking official in the capital, who had been living abroad. They had come to take him home.

Lin Xiaoyuan followed him to the capital. Since their stations were so different, they could sign a divorce agreement and go their separate ways.

After a great deal of effort, he finally saw Gu Yan.

Now that Gu Yan had reclaimed his status, he was elegant and handsome. He looked at Lin Xiaoyuan as if he were looking at the sordid past he wanted to forget.

To cover up those shameful memories, Gu Yan kept Lin Xiaoyuan by his side and continued to order him around.

Everyone thought Lin Xiaoyuan was greedy for wealth and vain. Though he had clearly been abandoned in the countryside, he shamelessly clung to the powerful and offered himself to them.

Later, Lin Xiaoyuan accidentally discovered that the jade pendant he wore matched one owned by the high-ranking official in the capital.

He was the official's son!

Gu Yan had stolen his identity. He had deliberately gotten close to Lin Xiaoyuan so he could impersonate him!

Lin Xiaoyuan summoned his courage and confronted Gu Yan about the jade pendant.

The next day, he was bound and thrown into a carriage. They were ambushed by assassins along the way, and he fell off a cliff to his death.

When Lin Xiaoyuan opened his eyes, he had been reborn in that same dilapidated thatched hut.

This time, he would not miss his chance.

Lin Xiaoyuan sent Gu Yan away and finally waited for the carriage his parents had sent to fetch him.

He returned to the Duke's residence.

His elder brother treated him warmly and took him on outings to enjoy the spring scenery. His little sister was sweet and innocent, clinging to her brother every moment. The Duke and Duchess doted on him, doing everything they could to make up for the love he had missed.

He completely forgot the Gu Yan who had been like a nightmare.

One day, the emperor held a banquet for his ministers to announce to the realm that the Sixth Prince, who had been living among the common folk, had been found.

Lin Xiaoyuan was among the invited guests. He followed behind the Duke with his head bowed, unaware that the eminently noble Sixth Prince was seated above, staring fixedly at him.

His blood-red eyes were full of madness.
