In Yan Xiaohe's life as someone everyone despised, two people had once cared for him, briefly. Neither story ended well.
One was the disgraced crown prince, his benefactor. Yan Xiaohe dragged him down with him, from heir to the throne to a madman, and no matter how hard he tried, he could never make amends.
The other was named Shen Que. He seemed to treat Yan Xiaohe wonderfully, but in truth he was ruthless, stopping at nothing for power. He made Yan Xiaohe reopen his wounds and serve as a tainted witness in the games of the powerful, while also claiming that Yan Xiaohe was the only person in the world he trusted, and that he would keep him bound at his side forever.
But Yan Xiaohe was just someone everyone despised. So, on the night Shen Que got everything he wanted, Yan Xiaohe put into action the plan he had plotted alone for so long.
If he succeeded, he would gain his freedom.
If he failed, he would consider all the suffering in this life good deeds done for his next. When he awoke, he would have a happy life to come.

I kind of hope Xiao He escapes and leaves (sad)
I said, you, these, took advantage of Xiao He's birth to reincarnate in the birth realm (furious)
Xiao He flew high and ignored them
I like the big burning in the crematorium
Ding~Business fluid blessing update is stress-free!
Qi Hai can't really be Shen Que, right?
The crematorium is coming, the crematorium is coming, yeah, yeah, yeah
I'm going to piss you all off [angry]
There is so much scheming, I feel like it is the work of King Huan
Come on, Xiao He, get to the crematorium right away
