As the heir to a prominent family, Jiang Wuwei had everything from the day he was born.
His father told him that a person's nobility lay in self-restraint. If he wanted to lead the family to greater heights, he had to live by that principle at all times.
Little Jiang Wuwei nodded in agreement.
So, over the next decade or so, he kept his likes hidden, made no friends, and buried himself in his studies. He led the family to push aside its rivals and become the leader of the pack, earning a reputation as the hardest-working person in all four continents.
Yet on the day before he was to inherit the family title, he was told that his bloodline was impure and that someone else would become the head of the family.
The young man his father had just brought home blushed and said, in a sickly-sweet voice, "Brother, the family and I will remember everything you've done. Once I take over, I'll always be grateful to you. What do you think of that land in the northwest? Would it be enough to repay your kindness?"
Jiang Wuwei had thought he would become a man above all others, only to end up a farmer in the middle of nowhere. "..."
He laughed in anger.
Losing his wealth was one thing, but after twenty years of denying himself any pleasure and relying on his right hand to keep up appearances, could a patch of land really make up for all that? :-)

Jiang Wuwei never realized that his never-crossing-the-line, polite yet distant nature had made him the unattainable ideal in many people's hearts.
They worshipped him like a god and fawned over him with the utmost care, keeping their hidden, darker thoughts buried deep inside and never daring to cross the line.
One day, everyone noticed that the aloof beauty, famed for his beauty and skill, had suddenly changed.
Xu Chengzhi, an undercover agent in the Jiang family, continued to watch Jiang Wuwei as always.
The young master no longer coldly turned away flowers offered by his attendants. Instead, he smiled warmly and praised the flowers they'd picked... Xu Chengzhi, who had only ever been scolded by the young master, was stunned.
An envoy from an enemy state came to negotiate. Nervous at the sight of the young master's face, he forgot his words, but received a cup of water from him... Xu Chengzhi, who had never once been personally served water by the young master, fell silent.
Even when faced with a playboy who repeatedly made lewd remarks, Jiang Wuwei could keep smiling, acting as if he had the patience to indulge any advances.
Xu Chengwu crushed the stone in his hand.
It was only when he realized that everyone Jiang Wuwei had changed his attitude toward had eight-pack abs that he understood.
A moment of anger made him forget he was undercover. Xu Chengzhi grabbed Jiang Wuwei by the wrist and gritted out, "Young master, are you looking for a lover? Are you really that undiscerning?"
He had abs too, so why was Jiang Wuwei always looking at other people?!
