1. In the twelfth year of Tianyun’s reign, the capital fell, scattering the imperial clan across the land. Fourteen years later, under the new emperor’s iron-fisted rule, the chaotic Great Zhou finally regained peace. Just then, a young man traveled thousands of miles to the capital, claiming to be the emperor’s long-lost younger brother, the Sixth Prince Fu Ye—sending shockwaves through the court. Fu Ye transmigrated into the scene, kneeling in the hall, only to meet the emperor’s sharp and sinister gaze. Remembering the original story’s fate—where the impostor was beheaded and displayed on the city walls for three years—he trembled in fear! How to survive pretending to be the tyrant’s brother under his watch? That was the question. So, he promptly fainted at the emperor’s feet. 2. The new emperor was volatile, domineering, ruling the realm with brutal laws. For years, no one dared enter his harem. Now, someone claimed to be His Majesty’s younger brother—and the emperor enfeoffed him as a prince. The dynasty valued martial prowess; all imperial princes were fierce warriors. Thus, everyone found this fainting-prone prince shockingly different from the emperor. Different… like a fake! And: *“…Don’t you think Prince Huan is too beautiful?!”* With a face like powdered jade, he resembled the enemy’s *honey trap*! His temperament was also worlds apart—the emperor was stern and reclusive, while Prince Huan was outrageously lively, exactly the type His Majesty despised! *“His Majesty loathes deceit above all. Sooner or later, he’ll expose this fraud.”* *“Even we loyal ministers live in constant terror under His Majesty’s gaze. If he finds out the prince is a fake… I dread to imagine his fate!”* Fu Ye: *Terrified.* 3. The courtiers asked daily: *“Has Prince Huan been exposed today?”* Attendant: *“No, but today, His Majesty sent someone three times to ask why the prince hadn’t returned to his chambers to sleep.”* Courtiers: *“?? Since when is His Majesty so gentle with him?”* Attendant: *“Well… not exactly. Once, on night duty, I faintly saw Prince Huan crawling out from behind the drapes, trembling as if begging for help—before His Majesty ruthlessly dragged him back by the ankle.”* Courtiers: *“!!”* A treasure bestowed upon the tyrant by heaven, granted the emperor’s one and only favor in this world.
