Prologue

Rong Tang read a book.

The villain in the book, Su Huaijing, was favoured by the gods, a typical example of beauty, power, and misfortune. He is a highly intelligent villainous character with an intensified level of revenge. Unfortunately, the character collapsed and suffered a terrible ending.

Consequently, after transmigrating, Rong Tang became the cannon fodder invalid with the same name who dies early in the novel. He is also bound to a system to save the male protagonist, and he was reborn three times in total.

The first time, he unwaveringly remained by the male protagonist’s side and helped him avoid the plots from various cannon fodders and villains. Ultimately, he was poisoned and died, thus failing the mission.

The second time, he worked on both leads concurrently, assisting the male protagonist on one hand while getting close to the villain. As a result, the male protagonist stabbed him to death with a sword, thus failing the mission.

After being reborn for the third time, Rong Tang thought, Screw the male protagonist; I, your father, won’t save you.

Therefore, the night where the villain, Su Huaijing, had been drugged and bound, Rong Tang, who bore the body afflicted with ‘on-the-verge-of-coughing-up-my-lungs’ tuberculosis, broke into the room at the brothel, relieved him of the drug’s effects, before asking in all seriousness, “Do you want to marry me?”

Su Huaijing: “?”

–

Rong Tang’s chronic disease can’t be cured, so he accompanies Su Huaijing all the way. Every now and then, he whispers in his ear, “Rest assured. When I die, all my inheritance will be yours.”

Up until the overall situation was settled, on the eve of Su Huaijing’s ascension to the throne, by some miracle, the mission was announced as completed.

Aside from his surprise, for the sake of maintaining the emperor’s reputation, Rong Tang fled without any worries whatsoever.

In the end, before he could set foot outside the capital, all the emperor’s personal guards restrained him; falcons circled in the sky above; wolf dogs with drool dripping from their mouths; and hundreds of officials kneeled down on both sides. The little donkey beneath Rong Tang, which he’d purchased partway, panicked until it began sneezing. The emperor, wearing a bright yellow imperial robe, walked over from behind the crowd, smiling every step of the way. He looks at him and asks gently, “Husband, you want to cast aside your wife and children; abandon after seducing?”

Rong Tang: “?”

Can you give birth? Ah no! Is it appropriate for someone high-up like you to assume the role of wife like this??

The emperor walks up to him. He lifts his head and raises his hands, as he says with a smile, “Follow me back. I’ll give you half of this realm.”

Small theatre:

On a certain day of a certain month of a certain year, Rong Tang is lying in the yard cooling off in the shade after having dinner, and as usual, he was drawing up a plan with Su Huaijing.

“I probably only have two years to live. When the time comes, remember to retake Longxi estate——”

Su Huaijing is expressionless as he pours a bowl of bitter medicine into his mouth.

On a certain day of a certain year, a certain month, after reading a storybook, Rong Tang is nestled in front of the brazier to keep warm and earnestly bid farewell to Su Huaijing.

“I probably have less than two months to live. If you think the house in the west of the city is too small, I’ll buy one for you in the south of the city—”

Su Huaijing gritted his teeth and fed him three fist-sized pills.

On a certain day of a certain year, the lotus flowers are in full bloom in the imperial garden. Rong Tang is sitting by the bridge, eating lotus pastries.

“I may die tomorrow; please remember to bury me——”

Su Huaijing couldn’t bear it anymore, so he bent over and blocked his mouth.

After a moment, the emperor, who showed no emotion or anger, slowly backed away and looks at his empress. “Didn’t I tell you before that I am the best doctor in Dayu?”

“If you say this again, I shall deem you harassing the doctor.”

You and I share this world, and you and I share this country.
