The Concubine's Son Just Wants to Slack Off, But Gets Spoiled by the Whole Mansion

The Concubine's Son Just Wants to Slack Off, But Gets Spoiled by the Whole Mansion Plot:

Lin Zhao, a concubine's son in the Marquis Mansion, has followed the “low-key slacking” rule for years—hiding in the library reading scripts, faking illness to skip lessons, determined to be an “invisible man” for life. But recently, the mansion’s atmosphere shifted: his stepmother waits at his door with tonic, his half-brother gives him a Western Region jade, the old lady hides osmanthus cake under his pillow, and even the maids fight to fetch hot water for him. Lin Zhao breaks into a cold sweat: Did his slacking disguise get exposed? Until one night, he overhears his half-brother tell a servant: “When I fell off the horse, it was Zhao who begged the doctor for better medicine; Mother’s bird’s nest, he asked the kitchen to add honey.” Those kindnesses he thought were unseen had long been remembered by the whole mansion. He wanted to hide in the shadows, but everyone insisted on pulling him into the sunlight.
