For fourteen years, he was the legitimate son of the Chancellor’s household and a notorious young wastrel in the capital.
Then one day, a boy around his age was brought home, and he was told that he was nothing but a substitute.
His biological father became his adoptive father, and the legitimate son became an adopted son.
Everything that had once belonged to him was given to that boy.
Framed on false charges, he met a miserable end.
Shen Xuan had transmigrated three years earlier and endured three years of torment in his place. He had seen through everything that had happened.
So he resolved that once he left the Imperial Prison, he would make something of himself.
At last, the day came.
The Empress’s betrothal decree caused a sensation across the city.
The Chancellor and his wife: “Xuan’er! Your father and mother were wrong. Come home with us!”
His aloof younger sister: “Brother! I was wrong. Please, please forgive me!”
The proud princess: “No! Don’t marry His Majesty, Shen Xuan… Don’t you love me? I’ll say yes. Please don’t leave me!”
Shen Xuan’s expression was indifferent. He didn’t even look back.
You all despised me so completely back then. This is only the beginning!
