Yin Chen knew perfectly well what had happened with the stolen silver. But it had to be said that both his uncle, the Prince of Pingnan, and his cousin, the Prince of Pingnan's heir, were mentally unstable.
What exactly made them think that as long as they bribed Steward Wang to switch the two men, they could successfully usurp the throne?
Yin Chen had met his cousin before. He did look just like him, but their temperaments were completely different.

He has never failed to get what he wants.
Because... he possesses patience that others lack, as well as unwavering persistence and courage.
Even if it means abandoning everything.
