[Tap to save this story and hear the little one's revenge plan OvO]
Jing Rong was a little auspicious beast who transmigrated into the body of a two-year-old prince on the verge of dying from illness.
The little prince's father didn't love him, and his mother had died young. Everyone in the palace bullied him. He never had enough to eat or wear, and had to endure the nanny's beatings and scolding, get locked in a dark room, and be driven out into snowy nights, where he huddled with stray cats to keep warm.
Jing Rong clenched his little fists, determined to take back everything the little prince had lost!
To do that, he came up with three revenge plans.
1. Cling tightly to his imperial father's leg and get him to pass the throne on to him.
2. Befriend people with strong fortunes and borrow some of their good luck.
3. Eat and drink well and fatten himself up. If his revenge plans failed, at least he wouldn't go hungry and die of starvation.
The plan was perfect, especially the last one, which Jing Rong carried out diligently. Every day, he snuck food from one palace and drinks from another.
The malnourished little prince gradually grew round and chubby, fair and plump, so adorable you could die.
When he saw his bargain of a father, Jing Rong hugged his leg and climbed up with great effort, asking to be picked up!
The emperor hefted the little dumpling. He was so soft and squishy that the doting father couldn't resist giving him whatever he wanted.
When he saw the empress dowager, Jing Rong rubbed her shoulders and patted her legs with his little hands, delighting her so much that she showered him with gifts and became her little grandson's protector.
When he saw the imperial consort, Jing Rong sweetly praised her beauty. Even when whispering to the emperor at his bedside, the consort couldn't stop praising the little one, and wanted to fight for custody of him.
When he saw his other brothers and sisters, Jing Rong transformed into a master of flattery, calling them Sister and Brother in turn.
His older siblings all looked after their little brother. Every day, they brought him tasty treats and fun toys, and fought over who would accompany Jing Rong to and from school.
Even the spoiled crown prince came over to hold his hand. "I'll give you the crown prince title. Just play with me."
Jing Rong remembered his revenge plan and clenched his fist. "The little one doesn't want to be crown prince. The little one wants to be emperor!"
His doting father: ... You really know how to make your father proud.
