In the late years of the Daqian era, tyrants roamed freely, war erupted endlessly, and the people could not sustain their lives. 
After transmigration, Chen Jie finds himself as a drunken gambler with a pair of unfortunate sisters at home.

The elder one, Su Yunjin, is his wife, and he also has a five-year-old sister-in-law, Su Yunrui. 
Their family is so poor they can barely make ends meet. 
Then suddenly, his beautiful wife comes smiling, bringing him a bowl of hot porridge. 
"Husband, I was wrong yesterday. Please have some porridge while it's hot."
Seeing the bruises on his wife's face, Chen Jie feels something is amiss.

Ding~

[1. Yesterday, you gambled away the last three acres of good land, beat Su Yunjin while drunk, and planned to sell the five-year-old Su Yunrui, to recover your losses.]
[2. The Su sisters rely on each other. Su Yunrui is Su Yunjin's only hope.]
[3. Su Yunjin, having lost hope, traded her mother's hairpin three days ago for a pack of arsenic.]

...Arsenic!
Staring at the hot porridge brought to his lips, Chen Jie looks up at his wife, seeing the faint bruise on her face and her eyes shifting away, avoiding his gaze.

"Honey!"
"Yes?"
"You're not going to kill me, are you?!"

"I am no different from others, Commandery Princess, you jest. I too have two hands, two feet, one mouth, two eyes. Where's the difference from others?"


Zhao Ya glanced at Chen Jie and said with a chuckle, "Are you playing dumb or being silly with me?"


Chen Jie quickly clasped his fist and said, while Zhao Ya responded, "What I meant by you being different is that you are unlike ordinary people here."


Chen Jie said, "Commandery Princess, I'm neither stupid nor slow-witted, how am I different?"


Zhao Ya replied, "Smart, or rather, possessing great wisdom. Even a small White Tiger Hall was managed by you so well that it could also benefit the common people. I believe you are talented, something that the court lacks. Therefore, I don't want your talent to go to waste."


Chen Jie was stunned. He had not expected Zhao Ya to take notice of him for this reason.
