Dagan, Zhenguo Mansion, and a deep well in the backyard.

Lin Che felt weak and drowsy all over. He moved his feet with difficulty and then heard the crisp sound of water.

He could feel that half of his body was immersed in water.

What's going on?

Did you soak your feet again last night and fall asleep in the middle of the bath because you felt so comfortable?

You know, since Lin Che was discharged from the army, his hands were blown off and he couldn't do many manual jobs by himself.

It's normal to spend some money to find a part-time female college student to work as a maid in your home, who is responsible for washing your feet and hair - the serious kind!

But what's going on with the maid this time?

The water is so cold, why don’t you change it?

He also tied my hands with ropes, but the master’s job is not to tie the master up!

Lin Che opened his eyes with all his strength. He was surrounded by moss-covered walls, dark and cramped. He was actually immersed in a deep well!

The well water was icy cold and he was soaked. A ray of sunlight barely shone through the ten-meter-high wellhead.

"Where am I?"

Lin Che was looking at the world from a narrow perspective. What was this all about? Was this still China?

At this moment, his head suddenly hurt, and a memory that did not belong to him pierced directly into the deepest part of his mind...

He traveled through time!

In the Dagan Dynasty, Lin Che, the seventh son of Duke Lin Pojun, lives in a dangerous world where warriors reign supreme and demons and monsters coexist.

Fortunately, the Dagan Dynasty was founded on military power and was full of powerful people. After the empress Jiang Li inherited the throne, hundreds of schools of thought contended with each other, and the dynasty was able to barely stabilize the restless foreign races from all directions.

Lin Che's father, Lin Pojun, is a military strategist. He has 100,000 brave soldiers under his command. He has made great military achievements and is well-known far and wide. He is known as the pillar of the country.

Lin Che's mother, Cheng Qiuci, was the former Saint of the Taoist Yuxu Palace. With her Hanyue Sword, she was invincible and firmly occupied a place on the weapons list, making her famous throughout the court and the country.

Being the son of the Duke of Zhenguo and the Saintess of Yuxu Palace, he should be enjoying endless wealth and glory.

"I've been walking on thin ice all my life, and now this overwhelming wealth is finally mine!"

"But how did I end up in the well?"

In a moment, another more profound painful memory came to mind.

The smile on Lin Che's face disappeared, replaced by a dull expression.

It turns out that there is no such thing as overwhelming wealth!

It was true that the original owner was the seventh son of the Duke of Zhenguo, but he was also a hostage who had been held in an enemy country for ten years and had only recently been released and returned home. In the family, he was unloved by his parents and his status was far inferior to that of the Crown Prince Lin Yaoguang who was entrusted with important tasks, nor to his favored ninth brother Lin Su. He was a wild child who was left alone.

When the original owner was ten years old, the underage empress ascended the throne, and Lin Pojun, who was guarding the border, led the army back to Tiandu to protect the emperor.

As for the war on the front line, how can we stabilize the situation with the enemy countries eyeing us covetously?

Da Gan chose to send the second prince to the enemy country Yanyun as a hostage, and Lin Pojun, the commander on the front line, was also asked to send his son as a hostage. Lin Che was the unlucky one chosen.

With the two hostages, the Second Prince and Lin Che, peace talks between the two countries were naturally achieved.

But as the saying goes, you feel inferior when you live under someone else's roof, let alone being a hostage in an enemy country.

And this time lasted for ten years!

In the past ten years, he has lived like neither a human nor a ghost.

The pain and humiliation involved cannot be explained to outsiders.

In fact, in the fifth year, the second prince could not bear the humiliation and hanged himself in the hostage house, dying a heroic death.

In the end, Lin Che was the only one left, living in doubly painful pain.

Finally, three months ago, the emaciated Lin Che was brought back by the Empress.

He had originally thought that the entire Zhenguo Mansion would welcome him with great fanfare, but unexpectedly, there was no one in front of the gate of Zhenguo Mansion that day, as if his return was a very shameful thing.

In the end, the original owner entered the house through the back door in shame!

After entering the mansion, the original owner was placed under house arrest by Lin Yaoguang, who bullied, beat and scolded him, and did not treat him as a human being at all.

The original owner had always been bullied by his elder brother, so he naturally asked his parents for help, but in the end he was scolded angrily by Lin Pojun.

Lin Pojun believed that Lin Yaoguang did this for the original owner's good, and that it was only natural for an elder brother to educate his younger brother.

Moreover, as a younger brother, the original owner was unaware of the family rules of respecting seniority and only slandered his elder brother behind his back. This was a mean act and even more hateful.

On two occasions, the original owner was beaten with a military stick for this.

"Fuck! Is this something biological parents could do? The Seventh Young Master of the Zhenguo Mansion is having such a miserable time."

"It took ten years of proton therapy to end. I was hated by my parents and persecuted by my brothers."

"I have also suffered an unexpected disaster. I thought I could enjoy a good life when I traveled through time. Now it is difficult to even survive."

"Does this Lin Yaoguang have such a mortal grudge? Is he absolutely determined to kill me?"

Lin Che analyzed it carefully and realized that it was indeed a mortal enemy.

No solution!

Lin Yaoguang was destined to be the heir of the Zhenguo Mansion from birth. In the future, he would be the Duke of Zhenguo, and none of his brothers or sisters would pose a threat to him.

But now that the original owner of the proton is back, everything is hard to say.

In the past three months, there have been severe floods in the southern region, and the empress went there in person to inspect the situation. Therefore, she has not summoned the original owner for questioning. Once she summons him, she will definitely reward him greatly.

After all, the stability of the past ten years in Dagan was gained by having the original owner and the second prince serve as hostages!

If this reward is given, the original owner will definitely threaten Lin Yaoguang's position.

At that time, will there be an imperial decree allowing the original owner to replace Lin Yaoguang and become the Duke of Zhenguo?

Hard to say!

What’s more, ten years ago, it was Lin Yaoguang who knelt down in front of the original owner, crying and begging the original owner to replace him as a hostage.

This kind of thing is so shameful.
