Jiang Huai transmigrates into the body of a privileged young master from an influential family. Before he can enjoy the riches and luxury, his family is disgraced and sent into exile, embarking on a long and arduous journey.

Fortunately, the heavens don’t close all doors. Jiang Huai realizes he has transmigrated into a novel. Five years later, a new emperor will ascend the throne, and the Jiang family will be exonerated, rising once again to prominence.

The problem? Jiang Huai is a mere cannon fodder character who dies of illness during the exile, never living to see the day of glory.

Determined to survive those five critical years, Jiang Huai carefully picks himself a “big brother” and bodyguard.

Jiang Huai paints a rosy future for his new protector: “I’ll reward you greatly for your help. In five years, you’ll live a life of wealth and comfort.”

The “big brother” remains silent, and Jiang Huai assumes he’s just shy.

Fast forward five years. Jiang Huai has built a modest fortune on the frontier and eagerly awaits the news of the new emperor’s enthronement and the subsequent pardon. Excited, he travels to the capital to reunite with his “big brother,” ready to make his mark in the bustling city.

But when he sees his “big brother” seated on the emperor’s throne, Jiang Huai is stunned. He turns to flee, only for the new emperor to block his way with a deep gaze.

“Didn’t you ask me to prepare a house for us in the capital?” the emperor says. “I’ve already bought it. Don’t you want to see our new home?”
