Xiao Yu, finding himself in a novel titled “Emperor’s Dream,” encounters Ming He, the story’s main antagonist. This villain, known for his high status, sinister nature, and eventual descent into madness, surprisingly turns out to be a three-year-old child, and Xiao Yu is his uncle. To his astonishment, they are both on the brink of starvation, and despite his destined path of destruction, young Ming He is sensible, considerate, and kind-hearted.

Unable to bear the thought of such a young child meeting a tragic fate, Xiao Yu decides to fulfill his guardian duties and educate the would-be villain.

Years later…

The ruling emperor, the main character of the story, expresses his deepest gratitude towards his uncle Xiao Yu. The empress shares her fondness for Xiao Yu, as does Ming He, now an official. The Regent declares Xiao Yu the love of his life. Overwhelmed and slightly embarrassed by all the adoration, Xiao Yu responds with a bashful smile.

The emperor, empress, and Ming He are puzzled, wondering what just happened.
