Zhong Wan is a fallen noble.. He was adopted by the Emperor's brother.. Emperor assassinated his brother and sold Zhong Wan as a slave.. Yu Ziyou bought him.. They were classmates before the calamity..
Zhong was the youngest candidate to pass the imperial exam.. But as a slave he lost the right to take the exam or any job ever again.. Yu Ziyou actually released Zhong Wan from slavery.. But Zhong Wan left his slave documents to him..
Emperor sent his dead brother's children to the border.. So Zhong Wan escaped to take care of them.. To relieve poverty and get some bribe he spread the rumour that he was Yu Ziyou's lover..
Yu Ziyou was actually the Emperor's son.. so he was drugged by his fake father (his mom's husband) for seven years and thus has a nasty temper.. But unlike any other motherfucker princes in other stories, Yu Ziyou is very tolerant to others..
He has a self-harming tendency, but never took it out on others.. One of my most liked royal character whatsoever.. Anyway Zhong Wan is back to the capital now.. He was already poisoned by his adopted brother Xuan Rui.. That's why he is so weak now..
I'd suggest to read the novel.. It's quite good.. A bit slow maybe.. Link below:
