Zhou Xun had resigned himself to a life of perpetual suffering. His brother was the Emperor’s beloved, the beauty mark on a tyrant’s face. And he? He was a poor imitation, living in the shadow of his brother, a cheap gift sent by his brother to the Emperor as a substitute. Even his chance at the imperial examination had been ruined, and he felt abandoned by the entire world. He was the cannon fodder of a melodramatic love story, whose tragic death served to fulfill others’ romances. Enough was enough.

However, he didn’t expect… that when the tyrant awoke from his coma, not only had he switched bodies with a man named Long Aotian but also, due to a few coincidental questions and answers, he mistook Zhou Xun for… his “fellow traveler”???
