Modern-day doctor Ruan Xubai is born into a wealthy family in ancient times. Born into the family, he thinks he can live without a care and devote himself to studying medicine. Then a kidnapping shows him just how much he truly matters to his family.
Just as he is eagerly hoping to reunite with his relatives, he personally hears his beloved father scold someone for bringing up a dead man like him.
Ruan Xubai accepts reality. The affection he received in the past was nothing but a fleeting illusion, fragile enough to shatter at a touch. He casts aside all his reluctance and resentment, takes his savior as his master, and devotes himself to learning medicine.
But fate refuses to leave him alone and sends him back to face his family. More than a decade has passed. His father is now a high-ranking chancellor, and his eldest brother is thriving in officialdom and has a family of his own. Ruan Xubai understands that he has become someone who no longer fits in.
His return displeases his younger brother most of all. Over the past decade, this young master has been spoiled into a domineering brat who can't stand sharing his family's affection. And the whole family in the chancellor's residence is not nearly as harmonious as it seems.
Ruan Xubai has no intention of disturbing their happiness and no interest in household intrigue. But nothing goes as he wishes. Not only does he get caught up in the household struggles, he also gets entangled with the troublesome Chang Huaide.
Gradually, he discovers that not competing is itself a way of winning. The family affection he once regretted losing becomes so easy to obtain. His once-proud chancellor father feels deeply guilty toward him. His cold-hearted eldest brother is willing to give anything for his forgiveness. His mother, who spoiled her youngest son and let him run wild, begs him to come home. And Chang Huaide, who has been pestering him all along, offers up all his sincerity just to get him to look his way.

Is my writing so bad? There is not even a single person in it. Should I continue to write more, or give up as soon as possible?
The author wrote the character's name wrong. The one who drugged him was Ji Mingyang, not Ji Mingsong.
Are body and mind the only ones to attack each other?
Please add it to your favorites, even if it's just one. With zero collections, there's absolutely no motivation to update. Woohoo.
