The director told Chen Zi the revised content of the script and inford him that the screenwriter insisted on adding a character as a child bridegroom.
The main plot is that the female lead’s elder sister saved a little boy on the mountain. The boy was very thin and small, appearing to be of similar age to the female lead’s younger sister, but in reality, he was three years older than her.
The boy was the child of a General, but the General was frad by the Emperor and his entire family was executed. This boy switched identities with a servant boy beside him, and it was the servant boy who died in his place.
Following the origins of the servant boy, he returned to the servant boy’s hotown and assud his identity.
The servant boy’s father had sold the child as a business cost, promising the servant boy’s mother that he would buy the children back once he made money. Who knew the father really beca wealthy but was unwilling to buy the children back? Firstly, because when he sold them, he hadn’t asked where they would be sold, making it too troubleso to find them. Secondly, he felt the children, once sold, would be too old to be manageable if bought back and might hold resentnt towards their father, effectively bringing back ungrateful children.
This second concern was entirely due to the influence of the father’s concubine.
After gaining wealth, he claid that in a drunken state, he compromised the daughter of a business partner and had to bring her ho, or else he would be accused at the yan. His wife, with tears, had to agree.
The concubine bore him a big, healthy boy, and now with a new child, he certainly didn’t want to spend money retrieving children who might beco ungrateful.
The servant boy’s mother made a fuss, later stealing so money from ho to look for the children, disappearing in the process. So said she was secretly kidnapped and sold by the concubine, others said she was murdered by a hired killer of the concubine...
Anyway, when he returned to that ho under the servant boy’s identity, there was no place for him, but he had to cent this identity, so he clung to the family.
The wealthy man, feeling soft-hearted, eventually took him in, but he was often out for business, sotis gone for one or two months. The concubine took advantage of the master’s business trips to mistreat him, starving him, opening the windows and doors at night to let him catch a cold, hoping he’d die of pneumonia, so there’d be no one to compete with her son for the inheritance.
He was unusually lucky and survived through it all.
Even having escaped a deadly ploy like the execution of his entire family, these petty sches were nothing to him.
Yet, he was thin and small due to the three years of mistreatnt, looking three years younger than normal children.
In fact, he could completely change his situation, but he needed people around to have deep impressions of him, and he needed to look thin to avoid being linked to the stout, talented little young master of the General’s Mansion.
He spent three years ensuring people rembered him well.
To the surrounding neighbors, he was a pitiable child continually mistreated by his stepmother, thin and small.
He dodged the concubine’s sches, but never expected to suffer a major setback at the hands of that wealthy rchant.
He thought he perfectly disguised himself as the servant boy, but the rchant, during a trip, heard so rumors and connected so dots.
The rchant sent soone to burn him and then pretended to be a kind father applying dicine, intending to check for a birthmark on his shoulder.
He was unaware of the servant boy’s shoulder birthmark and didn’t sufficiently prepare his disguise, getting exposed on the spot.
The rchant, afraid of trouble, dared not kill him imdiately, pretending to take him to the temple to pray, all the while planning to kill him en route.
