【Soft and Delicate Beauty Shou × Scheming Older Gong】

Zhao Min, as the heir apparent of the Marquis residence, receives no favor from his family. His father despises him for being weak, his mother resents his lack of accomplishments, and even the servants in the household wish they could spit at the sight of him, muttering “ill omen.” Unable to understand why, he can only study diligently, hoping that someday his parents might acknowledge him—or at least hate him a little less.

That is until he discovers that the world he inhabits is actually a novel. It turns out that his birth mother was a courtesan from Jiangnan who switched him with the true heir right after birth.

The real heir is the protagonist shou, destined for greatness and ultimately becoming the empress of the nation in glory. When Zhao Min’s true identity is exposed, his parents despise him even more: “You stole my son’s life! You and your mother are both utterly contemptible!”

Thus, his parents force him to drink a fertility potion and send him to serve as a concubine to his dissolute cousin, leading to his tragic end in childbirth.

Heartbroken yet enlightened, Zhao Min thinks… perhaps he too can live for himself just once.
