“Great Imperial Brother, you have previously cheated me, insulted me, and belittled me… Today is the day that I, your brother, have ascended the throne, so let this younger brother send you off on your final journey. Dissolute Crown Prince…” An imposing man draped in imperial yellow robe gracefully and calmly walked towards the prisoner inside the dungeon. His every move reflected a unique and imposing momentum, the scene overwhelming all the people present. His elegant posture attributed not to someone visiting a prisoner awaiting their execution, but rather to someone attending a feast.
However, in the face of this pressing and imposing manner, the onlookers dare not to raise their head to look upon the new Emperor or the one who was about to die. The deposed Crown Prince was not in the least bit frighten of the approaching great wave. Facing his eyes directly was already a generous gift for the new Emperor.
Whether it be the news of the new Emperor’s ascension to the throne or the news of his own upcoming death, he did not care.
“Eldest Brother, will you take this cup of wine to drink on your own or should I, your younger brother, have someone help you?” The new Emperor looked at the man and his lips evoked a smile. His sweet-sounding voice echoed loudly, seemingly without a trace of malice, like brothers purely coming together to have a heart to heart chat.
The eunuch from behind the new Emperor readily moved forward and presented the poisoned wine to the deposed Crown Prince.
Contrary to expectation, the deposed Crown Prince did not shy away. At his own conveniences, he would have even poured the wine himself. Only at the last moment when the poisoned wine was close to his lip, did he open his mouth to speak to the new Emperor.
However, the scene of the disposed Crown Prince kneeling and crying for mercy that the new Emperor had always longed to see did not appear before him. Rather, there was just the questions: “Where is Gu Chen? Is he still unwilling to see me even though I am to die today?”
Gu Chen was the new Emperor’s close friend and confidant, a capable and powerful state official. He was also someone who the disposed Crown Prince loved…
Unwittingly falling head first into his hands, the Crown Prince lost to the new Emperor.
That’s right, the disposed Crown Prince was a cut sleeve1, someone who liked men.
“Gu Chen? Why would Gu Chen still want to see you, a disgusting pervert who likes men? Imperial Brother, just a glimpse of you will only make him feel even more disgusted. Right now, you are no longer the Empress’s Crown Prince who is high up in the air. What? Did you think you can depend on Gu Chen’s influence to make a grand rebellion? Do you want to stain his eyes? Imperial Brother…” When the new Emperor heard him mention this name, disgust and contempt had immediately appeared in his eyes and he did not bother to hide the malice in his words. “What a pity though that you no longer have a chance to do so. Now choose, will you drink it yourself or will we have to have someone feed it to you?”
“The winner is king, the loser an outlaw2. He Zicheng, you’ve won.” Forcing out a bitter laugh, the deposed Crown Prince took the poisoned wine presented by the eunuch and raised his head, draining the cup in a single gulp.

“Crown Prince.” The soft voice of a little eunuch called out to He Ziming. “Your highness, Crown Prince…”
He Ziming sharply opened his eyes and sternly asked, “What is it? Speak!”
“Y-young, Young Master Gu has come to plead for the Fourth Prince.” It was clear that the little eunuch was extremely afraid of He Ziming, as his voice trembled and stuttered when speaking.
“Gu Chen?” He Ziming’s thoughts shifted forward like an electric current. His face unmoving, he muttered in a low voice, “So he has come for He Zicheng again. I am aware now that only for He Zicheng’s matter would he ever come looking for this prince.”
“This Young Master Gu… will your highness be seeing or not?” Unsure of what the other meant, the little eunuch words were hesitant.
He Ziming closed his eyes and waved his hand. “Since he is only seeking this prince here for He Zicheng, just let him wait.”

“You.” He Ziming looked at the submissive little eunuch and waved his hand again. “Withdraw.”
Regarding He Ziming’s commands, the little eunuch had never dared to disobey. He quickly retreated and quietly close the door behind him.
With the little eunuch gone, there was only He Ziming left in the large palace. He expressed a long sigh of relief, relaxed, then walked before the copper mirror within the bedroom to see his face.
Straight eyebrows, piercing eyes, and a refined hanging nose; an upright and heroic appearance. It was a really valiant and extraordinarily handsome man.
“System, with such a gong3 like face, is this man really a shou4? Even more, a dead and subsidizing cheap shou?” He Ziming looked at the face within the copper mirror. No matter how he looked, he felt that it was a gong’s face.
However, in the face of He Ziming’s question, the system firmly replied: “Yes, that’s right. Host, rest assure, the Daxing’s Crown Prince, He Ziming, is the shou and he is definitely a cheap shou at that.”
The system continued, using a rather mechanical voice when speaking. “The tasks released upon his death is neither to take revenge against Gu Chen or He Zicheng, nor is it to change his fate by recapturing the throne that should have belonged to him. Instead, his wish is for Gu Chen to remember him for a lifetime. He wants him to never forget him, to have his memories be forever carved into his bone and engraved into his heart, that even a mere thought of him would penetrate deeply into his soul.”
“Tsk.” He Ziming couldn’t help but sigh. “The same person with a different life, sharing the same name but with a different nature. Obviously given my name, and even more, look so much like a gong, however, I didn’t expect for this dissolute Daxing’s Crown Prince to actually be a cheap shou like this. He was harm and plotted against completely into such a field and yet he actually doesn’t want revenge, and just want Gu Chen to never forget and remember him for a lifetime…
“Really… this kind of unreasonable infatuation.” He did not know how else to assess it, but felt a need to add a final addendum.
“If it wasn’t like this, then this task wouldn’t be in your hands.” The system steadily answered.
“That is true.” He Ziming chuckled. “Then I certainly won’t disappoint this dissolute Crown Prince and properly complete this task.”
He Ziming was a quick transmigrator who, under the banner of Jinjiang’s Quick Transmigration Bureau, traveled to different worlds to complete the dead’s unfinished wishes in exchange for rewards.
Before that, he was an ordinary person. After an unexpected car accident that left him brain dead, his soul was detected by the Jinjiang’s Quick Transmigration Bureau to have a natural white moonlight5 constitution, and he was bounded to a ‘Cannon Fodder Counterattack System’. From then on, he began on the road of repeated generation as a cannon fodder within various stories, helping them accomplish their unfulfilled wishes, face slap the leading villains, and acquire rewards.
He Ziming was already brain dead, but because his soul was recruited by the Quick Transmigration Bureau, his body will remain well preserved and intact. The hospital will only be able to detect him as a human vegetable and not as someone with brain death.
As long as he collect enough rewards, He Ziming can be resurrected in his own world.
With making a profit and earning the reward as his biggest goal and motivation, He Ziming has currently been working diligently and conscientiously to complete tasks.
Because he possessed a soul with a white moonlight constitution, He Ziming was regularly given the task of where he had to have the lead villain fall in love with him, and to an extent, these task assigned to him would always end up becoming strange and emotionally-related tasks.
His inner most heart: God damn it!
In the very instant that he had crossed over, He Ziming had already received all the memories of the original owner as well as the original story and plot of the world.
This world’s son of fate, i.e. the protagonist, was Daxing’s Fourth Prince, He Zicheng, the very one who had given the poisoned wine to the original He Ziming.
He Zicheng’s childhood was very pitiful, his fate full of trouble and misfortune. Born to a mother who was of humble origins, he was not favored by the Emperor and was also quite hated by the Crown Prince, He Ziming. Because he was often maltreated with torment and humiliations, he had no choice but to bowed and bend his knee in the face of He Ziming. Hiding his strength and biding his time in secret, he slowly accumulated power and influence. As he gradually grew up, he later, with the aid of his close friend/brother-in-law, Gu Chen, they were able to take a hold of He Ziming’s secret and eventually led him towards his abolition. With his power and influence rapidly rising, he finally showed off his true abilities and struck against the other princes, forcefully winning over the rights to the throne and becoming the new Emperor.
Because he was often tormented and humiliated by He Ziming during his childhood, He Zicheng offered He Ziming the cup of poisoned wine to drink after being enthroned, successfully taking his life.
The character that He Ziming was reborn into, the very distributor of his tasks, was the very person that He Zicheng deeply hated– and at present, He Zicheng has to compromise and grovel before the Crown Prince, He Ziming.
He Ziming was the Imperial Crown Prince, the late Empress’s first son, and he was very much loved by the Emperor. He was someone who had only one over him and ten thousand under him6. Due to being spoiled, the Crown Prince grew to have a willful nature and was very proud and haughty, considering himself superior and above others. His temperament was especially worst towards the submissive Fourth Prince, He Zicheng. Not only did He Ziming never have a good face for him, he did not even consider the other as his younger brother, and only saw him as a servant. Whenever He Ziming was unhappy, he would seek him out in order to torment and humiliate, repeatedly teaching him a lesson.
To let He Zicheng, the son of fate, suffer from such humiliations, one can only deeply regret it endlessly.
The plot of the original world’s story was all described like so.
However, after receiving the memory of the original owner, He Ziming found that although the deposed Crown Prince was temperamental, how he treated others was not as cruel as mentioned. There was actually a reason as to why he treated He Zicheng like so and if the matter was to be properly used, it could successfully wash clean the deposed and dissolute Crown Prince.
Crown Prince He Ziming, even though he was someone lofty and above others, he was actually a very firm and practical cut sleeve, a good male homosexual who could not be upbraided, and even more, preferred to being the one below.
Towards the Empress’s only son, the old emperor was very partial. Even if He Ziming had a violent nature and his abilities was not outstanding, the old emperor never had the mind to abolish him from his position as Crown Prince. That is, until He Ziming being a cut sleeve and the scandal of him laying beneath people was exposed. With the reputation of the imperial family disgraced, the old emperor deeply grieve and lamented, and he thoroughly gave up on He Ziming, demoting him.
And the one to plan and exposed it all was none other than the one that He Ziming loved, Gu Chen.
Gu Chen was the son of the Minister of War7 and was a close friend of He Zicheng, having shared a friendship since childhood. Like an Immortal being, he was a man of many talents, a child that was born with orchid and jade trees8. From the very beginning, he had long stood on the side of the son of destiny, He Zicheng.
The deposed Crown Prince, He Ziming, had only seen him by chance. It was just a glimpse and yet he had fallen deeply in love, and since then, began on the road of crazily pursuing the Young Master Gu Chen.
A pity, however, for though the waterside flower pining for love shed its petals, the heartless brook only babbles on9…
Gu Chen was also a cut sleeve, but unfortunately, the person in his heart was not the deposed Crown Prince, He Ziming, but rather the son of fate, He Zicheng. In his childhood, when he had met the skinny little prince within the Imperial Palace who had been bully and humiliated, he had made a decision and vowed in his heart that he would grow up and become powerful enough to protect He Zicheng so that he would no longer be bullied by anyone.
In the original plot, Gu Chen had long been secretly loving and guarding over He Zicheng. He became his close aid and advisor, accompanying and supporting him to fight down one forces after another. He did not even hesitate to secretly put himself into the service of the deposed Crown Prince in order to take him down…
But He Zicheng was a straight man and Gu Chen, to the very end, never told He Zicheng of his love and instead let He Zicheng marry his younger sister while he, himself, spent a lifetime with He Zicheng as ruler and minister.
If He Ziming had not crossed over to become this Crown Prince, he would have actually thought this story as a good one.
Even though He Zicheng and Gu Chen did not come to be together in the end, it was still all very poignant.
Unfortunately for them, he had indeed crossed over to become this dissolute Crown Prince, He Ziming. With that being the case, this story will not only be very fun, but oh so very beautiful.
