Yier Bailandingni is a young nobleman with memories of a past life and a hair color that marks him as an outsider. He knows all too well that he is living inside a terrible "script." According to the bizarre Book of True Knowledge, in two years a girl named Xilufei Weisitaliya will draw the holy sword and become the last hero to oppose the Demon King, only to meet a tragic, inevitable death.
Unwilling to remain a mere extra, and even less willing to watch the tragedy unfold, Yier decides to take a risk: he will invest in the "future"!
When Xilufei is just eight years old, still a slave and with no one aware of her destiny, Yier buys her for a single gold coin. He plans to raise her with painstaking care, rewrite that chilling prophecy, and bind the future savior firmly to his side, making her the ultimate bargaining chip for changing both his own fate and that of the empire.
But trouble starts from the very beginning:
There's Xueli, his sensitive childhood friend; the eerie "doll" girl; a future hero destined to shine but perhaps doomed to die young; a genius childhood friend whose jealousy is rising and who wields the power of frost; the ever-watchful rules of the nobility; and the mysterious "doll" keeping an eye on him. In the turbulent currents swirling through the imperial capital, Yier's "Hero-Raising Plan" struggles to get underway.
