In his past life, Song Suiyuan reached the pinnacle of power, but saw his loved ones and friends leave one by one. He fought against imperial authority and powerful families, exhausting his heart and mind.

Reborn, Song Suiyuan decides to live freely. Occasionally, he dabbles in politics, but mostly he drinks, paints, hunts, and frequents pleasure houses.

After a chance encounter, Song Suiyuan wakes up to find himself covered in scratch marks, vowing revenge. He searches the entire capital but finds nothing, until a small child is tossed over the wall to him—his own kid.

Song Suiyuan is speechless. He takes the child back to his courtyard to raise, planning to find the “mother.”

A year later, the consequences of the former chancellor’s laid-back parenting become clear. Song Suiyuan catches the little one, who just learned to walk and is already fighting, both surprised and angry.

“You’re rebelling!”

The little one, as delicate as jade, plops down and bares his teeth at his opponent, “Eat them!”

Song Suiyuan: “…”

Later, when the child understands more, Song Suiyuan asks what to do if there’s a conflict. The obedient-looking little one thinks and replies, “Kill them!”

Song Suiyuan: Headache incoming.

One day, Song Suiyuan successfully corners the person teaching his child bad things.

The man looks ordinary but has lively round eyes. Holding a long sword, he coldly demonstrates, “Cut tendons, slash throats, pierce hearts, slice in half…”

The little one, clutching a heavy small sword, looks at him with immense admiration.

Song Suiyuan can’t listen anymore: cough.

Successfully, he turns two wild cats into obedient kittens.
