At an unknown cliff, a young man with gorgeous attire and handsome features stood there. He looked up at the sky with an indescribable melancholy in his eyes. Various complex emotions accumulated in his heart, and finally, he could only sigh at the sky.

At this moment, behind him, a golden-haired girl in maid attire rushed over, holding her skirt. Seeing the young man standing at the edge of the cliff, she hurriedly ran up and hugged him.

"Master Osen, please don't jump off the cliff!" the maid said, "Don't give up. Your family is still waiting for you to go back!"

"If, if you really can't bear it, let me jump first!" The maid suddenly stood in front of Osen, closed her eyes, and mustered up the courage to speak.

"Vivian." Osen called the maid's name and then asked, "In your opinion, what kind of person am I?"

"Master... of course, you are an extremely talented person!" Vivian said, and then began to talk tirelessly.

"Since awakening your magical talent at the age of three, you have been hailed as the most talented magician with potential in The Empire. At the age of five, you forced your mentor to resign because there was nothing more he could teach you. At ten, you finished reading all the books in The Empire's library and wrote your own summary and guidebook, which was highly praised by renowned scholars. At twelve, you registered with the Adventurers Association and obtained the ranking of a fourth-tier warrior and a fourth-tier magician. At fourteen, you became an honorary member of the Alchemist Guild. At eighteen, you gave a speech at the entrance ceremony of Imperial College, becoming the first freshman to speak at the ceremony in the history of Imperial College."

Vivian talked about Osen's glorious deeds without any hesitation, reciting them as if they were treasures.

"Moreover, Master, you achieved perfect scores in all subjects in your first year at Imperial College. And, you are handsome, kind-hearted, and considerate to others..."

Master, there are many things I may not know, but with all these talents and achievements, why would you still feel hopeless?"

Vivian said anxiously in her tone. She couldn't understand why her master, who had such an outstanding character, would want to take his own life.

"Yes, you're right," Osen nodded.

Of course, he knew how extraordinary his experiences were, but it turned out that with such a remarkable background, he was actually a villain!

Osen had transmigrated into a book he had read before. In this book, he was portrayed as an early antagonist, with the author setting up numerous positive images for him, only to have them all collapse in the final moments to showcase the protagonist's strength.

Osen was the fake son of a Duke. The true son, Liter, who was the protagonist, would be returning today. Liter had been lost during a war eighteen years ago, with only a family heirloom jade bracelet left on the child. Later, he was picked up by a rural family and raised by them.

It was only when the Duke's steward, Albert, went back to the countryside for vacation and saw the ancestral jade bracelet that he inquired about the child's identity. Then, it was confirmed that the child was the one Lucius had lost, named Liter.

As for Osen, he was the person who appeared most similar to Liter when the Duke was searching for his lost child in his territory. They were born on the same day and had the same black hair and purple eyes, although Osen didn't have the family heirloom jade bracelet, it was understandable since he was lost during the war.

But it seemed that Osen was not Lucius's biological son after all.

However, Duke Lucius didn't ask Osen to leave. No one would want to drive away a talented foster child who had been living together for over a decade. To take care of Osen's face, Lucius came up with a solution: he announced to the public that Osen was adopted by Lucius when he had no heir, thereby legitimizing Osen's claim to inheritance.

In this way, it ensured the legitimacy of Osen as the Duke's eldest son and also allowed Liter's identity to be accepted by others.However, in the original work, despite receiving Lucius' promise, Osen couldn't stand this new young master. Osen constantly hindered Liter in order to gain the inheritance of the Duke, always wanting to get rid of him. After all, Liter is indeed of Lucius' bloodline, while Osen is not. However, as the protagonist, Liter is not so easy to get rid of. He repeatedly turned the tide and exposed Osen's plans in front of everyone. In the final battle with Liter, Osen even used the power obtained from the demon, but Liter exploded at a critical moment and directly defeated Osen. Osen was also backlashed by the power of the demon, losing all his abilities and becoming a useless person, expelled from the family. When The Empire learned that the famous genius Osen turned out to be a hypocrite, they also despised him. In the end, Osen disappeared from everyone's sight without power and help. He was probably dead. Osen was depressed! Why couldn't he defeat the protagonist who was so powerful? His conclusion was the protagonist halo. Liter, who possessed the protagonist halo, was invincible in this world. Thinking of this, Osen felt even more powerless. Viavi, who was in front of him, was Osen's number one loyal dog in the original book, and Osen had always used Viavi as a tool. In the end, after realizing Osen's actions, she became disappointed and left Osen. "Master, I know you may be disappointed that you are not the duke's biological son, but for these years, the duke and everyone have always recognized you," Viavi continued. "Besides, the second young master is coming back soon. You should go and greet him." "Thank you, Viavi." Osen's solemn expression finally eased a lot, then gently rubbed the head of the girl in front of him. "I actually came here just to relax, but I'm very happy to see you care about me." With that, Osen turned around and walked towards the manor behind him. Heh, isn't it just the protagonist? I don't have to be the nemesis of the protagonist. Not only that, I also want to become the protagonist's mentor while the protagonist is still ignorant, and cultivate the protagonist into a generation of dragon pride! Let the protagonist bring me into the protagonist group and enjoy the good life together. This way, I can avoid the fate of being driven out of the family and lead a miserable life by the protagonist. ... Outside a mansion filled with medieval style, a magnificent carriage came to a stop. At the entrance of the mansion, more than ten people stood there, eagerly awaiting the person on the carriage. Leading the group was a gorgeously dressed middle-aged man and an elegant and noble lady. Behind them stood a tall and handsome young man with black hair. This was the estate of the Duke Lucius Stranik in The Empire. Standing in the front row of the crowd were none other than Duke Lucius and Duchess Mary. The handsome young man behind them was Osen, previously the duke's only proclaimed son, and now the eldest son of the duke. After the carriage came to a stop, the coachman in front dismounted and opened the carriage door. Then, a "little girl" with long black hair and wearing coarse linen clothes walked out of the carriage. Of course, the person was not really a little girl. From now on, he was Lucius' second son, Liter Stranik. Upon seeing the person coming down, Osen was momentarily stunned. This... are you sure it's not a girl? Long and messy black hair, a small and undernourished body, overly pale skin that revealed malnutrition, and cheeks that turned red when stared at by others. If it wasn't for his parents explaining in advance that the person was Liter, Osen would really think he came to pick up a sister.Everyone present, except for Osen, was startled by the other party's appearance.

Are you kidding me? This is the Duke's son, is it appropriate for him to dress like this?

At this moment, Lucius also looked at Albert, who had come down with Liter, with a somewhat displeased expression.

"Albert, can't you take Liter to change clothes first before coming?" he said, his tone a bit dissatisfied.

"Well...I'm sorry." Albert bowed and apologized, then said, "I had prepared for that, but Liter didn't want to."

"He said the clothes he was wearing were made by his mother in the countryside, and he didn't want us to spend money, so he didn't want to change."

"Ah, poor child." Mary sighed. "He has suffered so much during all those years outside."

Then she turned and looked at Osen.

Honestly, at present, Osen still looked more like a noble child.

"Osen, your clothes from a few years ago are still in the wardrobe, right? Later, you take Liter in and change his clothes."

"It's unacceptable for someone attending a banquet to dress like this."

"Yes." Osen nodded respectfully.

After Liter approached Lucius and Mary, he lowered his head.

"Father, Mother." His voice was weak and feeble, like a mosquito.

"Mm." Lucius nodded, touched Liter's head, and there was still a hint of tenderness in his gaze.

After all, this was his own son.

But Mary was different, she kept frowning.

The moment Liter approached, she could smell a strong unpleasant odor, she didn't know if it was hay or livestock.

"By the way, Osen, take Liter to take a bath later. There's such a strong smell on him, it's intolerable!" Mary ignored the glances of people around her and said to Osen.

Naturally, Osen nodded.

In the original work, Mary also despised Liter very much and conspired with Osen to get rid of him, but unfortunately, it was exposed in the end. Osen was kicked out of the house, and she also failed in her later struggle with Liter.

After returning to her parents' house, she died in depression.

In the instant Mary finished speaking, Osen saw a change in Liter's expression.

With a hint of self-blame and shame.

It seemed that he still felt that he couldn't fit into this family, and if that was the case, it would be easy to handle.

Thinking this way, Osen went past Mary and Lucius, came to Liter's side, took off his gloves, and gently held Liter's slightly cold hand.

"Let's go, come with me to the house first." He said, with a sunny smile on his face.

"Um..." Liter didn't know how to respond and could only nod.

But when they reached the front door, Liter stopped again.

"What's wrong?" Osen asked softly.

"I... I'm dirty. I'll dirty the floor." Liter looked at the clean floor in the mansion and said.

"Oh, I see." Osen nodded.

Then, Liter felt a sense of weightlessness, and soon he was held in Osen's arms.

"This way, you won't dirty the floor." Osen looked at Liter, who was panicking and blushing, and showed a smile that he thought was gentle.
