If only from the perspective of personal achievement, the original self was undoubtedly successful.
Born in a humble family, he became the youngest number one scholar since the Jin Dynasty’s founding. He won the princess’ favor and became the emperor’s son-in-law of the Jin Dynasty because of his handsome appearance.
He was born slightly poor and knew what the people needed. When he was a regional official, he had the best political performance, also the most loved and respected official by the local people. It was from the compilation of the sixth-rank Imperial Hanlin Academy to the five-rank senior provincial government official, from the fourth-rank prefectural magistrate to the fourth-rank lacking marble high ranking official who transferred back to the capital city.
Others needed to spend more than ten years or even a lifetime on the road to promotion, but he only spent six short years, and among them, he had his own efforts and was inseparable from his identity as the emperor’s son-in-law.
His official career was successful, and he also had a lovely wife and daughter in his family. Apart from the honorable princess status, even if he was a husband and wife, he still had to be courteous to his princess, but he had almost no worries.
Except for one thing, the secret he tried to hide.
