You Demoted Me to Guard the Frontier. Why Are You Crying Now That I've Rebelled?

To protect the Great Zhou Dynasty, he spent ten years as a hostage in an enemy kingdom. But upon his return, everyone despised him.

His father refused to see him, his mother favored her younger son, and his original self was forced to live under his brother's roof, where he was bullied and framed, eventually dying with hatred in his heart.

Zhou Hao transmigrates into his body and refuses to stay silent in the face of this supposedly loving family.

He face-slaps his younger brother, challenges his biased mother, and openly confronts the emperor.

Then, invoking the righteousness of having served his country and people as a hostage, he walks away unscathed and heads to his fief with the gold and silver he swindled.

His family back in the capital is stunned.

Empress: "My son, you should take the throne. Your mother knows she was wrong!"

Younger brother: "Brother, save me! The throne is yours!"
