The Lovely Heiress Is Actually A God Beast

Chapter 1527: This Character Setting

The director told Chen Zi the revised content of the script and informed 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 framed 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 hometown and assumed 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 became 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 troublesome to find them. Secondly, he felt the children, once sold, would be too old to be manageable if bought back and might hold resentment 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 claimed that in a drunken state, he compromised the daughter of a business partner and had to bring her home, or else he would be accused at the yamen. 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 become ungrateful.

The servant boy’s mother made a fuss, later stealing some money from home to look for the children, disappearing in the process. Some 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 home under the servant boy’s identity, there was no place for him, but he had to cement 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, sometimes 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 schemes were nothing to him.

Yet, he was thin and small due to the three years of mistreatment, 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 remembered him well.

To the surrounding neighbors, he was a pitiable child continually mistreated by his stepmother, thin and small.

He dodged the concubine’s schemes, but never expected to suffer a major setback at the hands of that wealthy merchant.

He thought he perfectly disguised himself as the servant boy, but the merchant, during a trip, heard some rumors and connected some dots.

The merchant sent someone to burn him and then pretended to be a kind father applying medicine, 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 merchant, afraid of trouble, dared not kill him immediately, pretending to take him to the temple to pray, all the while planning to kill him en route.
