Song Hanyu spent all night reading a melodramatic political intrigue novel with a male lead who shared his name: My Song Family Was Sentenced to Death After the Princess's Passing.
The plot was clichéd, melodramatic, and absurd. The male lead's family was utterly loyal, yet the emperor grew suspicious of them, set them up, and ordered their entire clan executed.
By the final chapter, Song Hanyu had been so stunned by the ridiculous twists that he couldn't help cursing: "Fuck."
The next day, when he opened his eyes, he found himself dressed in coarse mourning clothes, kneeling in a funeral hall.
The chief eunuch stood before him, reading out the imperial decree:
"Song Chengsi, Marquis of Zhenbei, has committed heinous crimes and been executed under the law. As his son Song Hanyu is still young, he is granted a proper consort's wedding and shall marry into Prince Chen's household in three days."
Song Hanyu: Wait, you're actually doing this?!
Just like in the original story, it wasn't long before the Noble Consort's people forced him to drink a cup of poison, and he died in the bridal sedan.
Then he opened his eyes again.
This time, he had returned to the year he was seventeen, when both his parents were still alive.
He decided to change the fate of the Song family.
To rewrite the ruined ending from the original story.
