[Updates on an irregular schedule]
P.S. The love interest will not change, will not change!!!!
Ying Min, courtesy name Yun Jie. A loyal minister who helped his sovereign claim the throne. Alas, heaven envied his talent: he died at twenty-one, and the cause of death is unknown.
.
Twenty years ago, the late emperor was gravely ill. The bloody struggle for the throne ended with the crown passing to his youngest son, who was only five years old.
Ying Yun Jie chose the empress and successfully helped the young emperor ascend the throne, only to die under suspicious circumstances.
.
Twenty years later, the young emperor of that time is bedridden with illness, while the empress dowager clings to power. The ruler is nothing but a figurehead.
When he opens his eyes again, the loyal minister Ying Min is dead, and he has been reborn in the body of the prince Ying Yun Jie.
With nowhere to put his imperial ambitions to use, Ying Yun Jie decides to enter the game once more and help the emperor reclaim his power.
.
The struggle for power is perilous. At the same time, Ying Yun Jie encounters someone he never expected.
"What's... your name?"
"Zhu Xun."
"...What is Zhu Zhiyan to you?"
"My father."
The man finally looks up. "You know my father?"
I know him. He was once my beloved.
Receiving no answer, the man asks again, "You know my father? What was your relationship?"
Ying Yun Jie falls silent for a long time, then says, "...We were old acquaintances, that's all."
No wonder you look so much like him. You're his child.
.
What sin had the living committed? Ying Yun Jie feels pity for Zhu Xun and saves him.
He never expects their fates to become bound together from then on.
Two stars hang in the heavens, their fates inseparable. Defy fate and change your destiny, and you will ultimately suffer its backlash.
