Synopsis
[Completed]
Huai Qingyu had been born a beggar, alone and without anyone to rely on, yet because he was softhearted, he saved several people.
In the end, those people either rose to positions of supreme power or ascended the throne.
Yet the first thing they did after gaining power was humiliate him, take revenge on him, and have him executed by a thousand cuts.
After being reborn, Huai Qingyu stood aside and watched.
A cool and aloof young nobleman falls from grace overnight, is sold into a brothel, and has his first night put up for auction?
Not saving him! — In his previous life, Huai Qingyu emptied his entire fortune and took on enormous debts to redeem him, only to be thrown into a beggars' den by that very man and subjected to endless humiliation.
In this life, I'll let you be surrounded by men and humiliated to your heart's content!
His genius foster brother is about to be drugged by his personal page, miss the palace examination, offend the emperor, and have his entire future destroyed?
Not saving him! — In his previous life, Huai Qingyu stopped the page. The page killed himself out of shame, and after his foster brother became the top-ranked scholar, he decided Huai Qingyu had driven the page to death and was cruel-hearted, then humiliated him in every possible way.
In this life, I'll let you swallow the poison, let your page sit the palace examination in your place, and let him replace you as a powerful court official!
His personal guard is about to be flayed and have his bones pulled out by his new master?
Not saving him! — In his previous life, Huai Qingyu treated the guard kindly, but the guard's heart belonged entirely to another master. He even caused Huai Qingyu's child to die for that person's sake.
This life, I won't choose you. Follow your vicious master and meet the miserable end you deserve!
His impoverished schoolmate is about to have both hands broken by his bully and miss the imperial examination?
Not saving him! — In his previous life, Huai Qingyu saved his bullied schoolmate, only for the schoolmate to fall in love with his bully, blame Huai Qingyu for saving him, and stab him in the back without mercy.
This life, I'll watch coldly while your bully toys with you like a monkey and ruins your entire life. I won't save you again!
His childhood sweetheart is about to fall into the water and be left half-paralyzed?
Not saving him! — In his previous life, Huai Qingyu saved his childhood sweetheart, only to be despised as filthy and disgusting and toyed with like a dog.
This life, I'll see how you use that half-ruined body to fight the fake young master in your family for favor!
A fallen prince has no one to rely on and suffers constant bullying. Just as an imperial consort is about to adopt him, he chooses to miss the adoption banquet in order to save his personal palace maid?
Not saving him! — In his previous life, Huai Qingyu learned that the palace maid was a spy planted by the empress, and that her unexplained disappearance was intended to sabotage the consort's adoption banquet, so he concealed the news. After the prince ascended the throne, however, he blamed Huai Qingyu for being unable to find the maid and ordered him executed by a thousand cuts.
This life, Huai Qingyu knows everything, yet does nothing. He simply watches as the prince enrages the imperial consort and is demoted to commoner status.
