Chapter 1

"Master, it’s over, Young Master has bullied the Princess!"

"The Princess, in a fit of rage, beat Young Master to death with a cudgel!"

Inside the mansion of Duke Qin, everyone was in deep sorrow.

Qin Xiangru had a late son, and this was his only heir. Although his son was a bit simple-minded and rash, he didn’t deserve to die!

"Qin Xiangru, your foolish son offended this Princess, and he deserved to die!"

"This Princess will return to the palace and inform the Emperor to cancel this marriage!"

With that, Princess Jingyang, with red eyes, ran out of the Qin mansion.

In the past, Qin Xiangru would have chased after her to beg for forgiveness.

But now, with his foolish son dead, he was utterly heartbroken.

He knew his son was a bit slow and simple-minded, and couldn’t manage the family business.

So he had specially petitioned the Emperor to betroth Princess Jingyang to his son.

But he never expected it would cost the Qin family their lineage.

At this moment, Qin Mo stood in the room, looking at the people on the ground weeping bitterly, and was completely stunned.

These people were wearing traditional robes, and the room was decorated in an ancient style.

Could they be filming a movie?

Just as he was about to speak, the people who had been weeping on the ground suddenly screamed, "Ah, a ghost!"

"Young Master has come back to life!"

Everyone ran out of the room.

Qin Mo was utterly confused, rubbing his head, which had a large bump, "Damn, which bastard hit me?"

At that moment, an old man wearing a headcloth and a purple robe rushed in.

Seeing Qin Mo, he burst into tears, "Qin Mo, my son!"

"Hey, old man, don’t try to trick me, I don’t know you!"

Qin Mo was confused, wondering how this old man knew his name.

"Fool, I’m your father!"

Qin Xiangru patted Qin Mo’s back, overjoyed that his son had come back to life.

"Bullshit, I’m your father, don’t think you can take advantage of me just because you’re old!"

Qin Mo pushed Qin Xiangru away and shouted at him. He knew exactly what his father was like.

Qin Xiangru was almost driven to the brink by Qin Mo, "You fool, are you confused again? I’m really your father!"

"Master, has Young Master been possessed by someone else’s spirit?" the steward asked, terrified.

"Bullshit!"

Qin Xiangru slapped the steward on the head, "Who would possess someone and be so foolish and unruly? I think he’s just being naughty. Bring me the whip, a good beating will do him good!"

Whenever Qin Mo made a mistake, he would pretend to be foolish to cover it up.

Qin Xiangru knew this all too well.

Soon, the steward handed over the whip, and Qin Xiangru, holding it, looked at Qin Mo with a mix of anger and sorrow, "Fool, I don’t want to beat you, but this time your mistake is too big. Bullying the Princess, I have to give the Emperor an explanation!"

With that, he lashed Qin Mo with the whip.

Qin Mo screamed in pain, "Old man, if you hit me again, I’ll hit back!"

This old man must be crazy, calling him son and hitting him, and calling him a fool.

He’s the fool, and his whole family is!

However, Qin Xiangru didn’t stop, beating Qin Mo until his skin was torn, "The Emperor has already granted the Princess to you, she will be yours eventually, why are you in such a hurry?"

"Old man, I can’t take it anymore!"

Qin Mo, unable to bear it, punched Qin Xiangru in the right eye, turning it into a black eye, "This is self-defense, even if you call the police, I’m not afraid!"

Qin Xiangru fell to the ground.

The steward quickly shouted, "Heaven forbid, Young Master has hit Master, quick, someone help!"

At that, a dozen strong guards rushed in from outside.

"Damn, there are even more people helping!"

Qin Mo shouted for help, but was still overpowered.

Qin Xiangru, holding his right eye, looked at Qin Mo, who was still cursing, "I, Qin Xiangru, have fought on the battlefield for decades, and never thought I would have a son like you!"

He raised the whip but couldn’t bring himself to strike again, remembering his late wife’s instructions to take good care of him.

"Bind him!"

Qin Xiangru gritted his teeth, "Take him to the palace to confess!"

"Old man, are you obsessed with acting? Let me go!"

"Or else, you’ll see what happens!"

No matter how Qin Mo struggled, it was useless. He was tied up and taken away.

Qin Xiangru thought for a moment, grabbed a handful of mud from the ground, and smeared it all over Qin Mo’s face.

Qin Mo was furious and cursed.

Qin Xiangru smiled bitterly, "Fool, I’m saving you!

Do you think you can fool everyone by pretending to be dead?

Princess Jingyang is the Emperor’s beloved. She hasn’t even married you yet, and you bullied her, ruining her reputation.

You’ve disgraced the royal family. If I don’t make it look bad enough, the Emperor will have your head!"

Qin Mo, tired of cursing, let them take him away.

On the street, people hurried by, all dressed in ancient clothing.

Even a film set couldn’t have so many people!

Most importantly, he hadn’t seen any director or filming equipment throughout the entire process.

Thinking about everything that had happened, he was shaken, "Could it be, I’ve traveled through time?"

He had graduated yesterday, gotten drunk with his classmates, and should have woken up in a hotel, not here.

He was anxious, "Hey, old man, what dynasty is this?"

He was a history student, and if he had traveled through time, he wasn’t afraid. After all, he had enough knowledge to survive.

He could just latch onto the Son of Heaven and live a carefree life.

"Great Qian!"

Great Qian?

He had indeed traveled through time!

He quickly thought, but couldn’t find any dynasty called Great Qian in history!

"What’s the name of the current Emperor?"

"Fool, stop joking around!"

"Tell me!"

Qin Mo was eager to know.

Qin Xiangru, helpless and afraid he would cause a scene, whispered, "Li Shilong!"

Damn!

I’ve traveled to a parallel universe!

He was certain there was no Emperor named Li Shilong in history.

The only Li dynasty was the Tang Dynasty!

So, this old man is really my father!

Wait, why am I being beaten?

It seems I bullied the Princess!

Damn, my predecessor was really a fool.

Bullying a princess who hasn’t even married you yet, even if she had, you should still get her consent.

"Father, you’re taking me to the palace now?"

He wanted to call him old man, but considering this was his predecessor’s father, he decided to show some respect.

Besides, this old man was a Duke, a powerful figure.

"Fool, you’re finally not pretending to be stupid!"

Qin Xiangru slapped him on the head, "When we enter the palace, cry when you see the Emperor, and apologize to the Princess, understand?"

"Isn’t that just crying, making a scene, and threatening to hang yourself?" Qin Mo said.

"Right, right, I didn’t expect my fool to be smart sometimes!"

Qin Xiangru said, "But, knowing the Emperor, even if he spares you for my sake, he’ll probably break your legs!"
