[Female lead disguises herself as a man, a ruthless and unpredictable power-wielding chancellor × male lead is a yielding, resilient little white flower]
"I'm a lonely little cabbage, with a father who doesn't care and a mother who doesn't love me. I was once ruler of a nation, but a treacherous chancellor destroyed me.
Reborn, I'm determined to take revenge... Damn it, why has my sworn enemy, my wicked stepfather, turned into my real father?!"
Jing Sui is a nobody in the imperial harem. His brothers fight each other to the death for the throne, and in the end they all die together, leaving him to inherit it by pure luck.
He dies of a chill on the eve of taking power. Who would believe it was really just a chill? Shen Huaiyu must have secretly poisoned him!
His mother chose her lover over her son, and Jing Sui dies with grievances unresolved...
Carrying a heart full of burning resentment, Jing Sui is reborn when he is still a nobody.
But what does he find in his mother's palace? Where did Shen Huaiyu come from?
Jing Sui throws his head back and howls. So you two were already sneaking around this early?!
But later, Jing Sui discovers that
his loyal servant who has protected him for years is Shen Huaiyu's,
the money for his and his mother's expenses is Shen Huaiyu's,
and even when his imperial brothers bully him, Shen Huaiyu secretly stands up for him...
Jing Sui clutches his head and cries:
Shen the villain... Father Chancellor, no, Dad! You're my real father!
I don't object to you and my mother being together at all. We're a happy family of three!
In this life, Jing Sui plans to rely on his stepfather, lie flat all the way to the throne, and live a carefree life. He couldn't be happier.
Then he realizes something seems very wrong. Could his stepfather actually be his real father?!
Shen Huaiyu, ruthless and underhanded, holding all power at court, the Empress Dowager's lover (allegedly): ...I'm really not.
