Summary Su Qianyi lived and died as a king of the underworld-cold-blooded, calculating, and feared by all. As the supreme Mafia boss, betrayal and blood were daily bread. Death should have been the end. Instead, he opens his eyes in a four-year-old body-fragile, small, and unbearably adorable. Even worse, he has become Su Qianyi, the most hated ger prince of the Great Liang Empire. Born from an empress who died in childbirth, the original Su Qianyi was branded an evil star, a curse upon the dynasty. Abandoned by the emperor, despised by the princes, and left to rot in the Cold Palace, the child grew bitter and vicious, desperately craving love that would never come. But that child is gone. Now inhabiting his body is a former Mafia boss who knows one thing better than anyone else- power attracts danger, and families like this kill quietly. Unlike the original owner, this Su Qianyi has no interest in imperial affection. No desire for fatherly warmth. No need for brotherly bonds. The royal family disgusts him, and the Cold Palace? To him, it is the safest place in the empire. So he ignores the emperor. Avoids the princes. Instead, the palace witnesses something unthinkable- The once vicious ger prince is now laughing, running, causing chaos, climbing trees, stealing snacks, and dragging his only loyal servant into endless mischief. He drinks sweet soups, naps in the sun, and treats the Cold Palace like his personal territory. The court is baffled. The servants are terrified. The princes are suspicious. How did the "evil star" become so soft and harmless? Why does he smile when he should be scheming? And why does this child-who should be begging for imperial favor-act as if the entire royal family is irrelevant? But fate is never kind. As Su Qianyi grows, his presence will slowly disrupt the empire. Old grudges will surface. And somewhere within this cold, ruthless palace, someone will eventually look at the neglected ger prince and think- "I want him."

The MC died from illness, his body weak and broken. Before his final breath, he made one last wish - > "If I could be born again... I want a healthy body and a life lived to the fullest." The heavens heard him. Given a second chance, he opens his eyes in a new world... Only to realize he has transmigrated into a novel as a cannon fodder destined for tragedy. Will he break free from fate and live as he pleases? Or will the cruel ending of a cannon fodder claim him once again?

(A translation of the novel 愉此一生 by 南枝; there is also a drama called Till Death Tear Us Apart) Liu Yusheng hails from a rich family. After studying abroad, he returns home to find his inheritance stolen by his other family members. Left with nothing, he found work as a teacher at a small school. In this hopeless state, he meets an old friend, Zhou Yaohua, who, like the majority of China, harbors a hatred against communists, whom Liu Yusheng has connections with. What will be the outcome of their relationship? (hint: check the tags lol)
