"Young Master Jiang, please take your medicine." The butler pleaded.

Chen Zen now known as Jiang Weicheng, silently ignored the butler. Jiang Weicheng was still confused about what happened. He must have transmigrated into the novel he was previously reading as the male lead's uncle, Jiang Weicheng right? This was the only explanation he could think of.

He woke up in this body half an hour ago and the butler has been trying to convince his master to drink the medicine. Thinking about how persistent the butler was, he finally took the bowl of medicine out of the butler's hands and gulped the bitter drink down.

He then handed the bowl back to the stupefied butler and simply said, "Get out."

The butler's eyes widened in shock after hearing his master speak because he was not used to it. It was rare for his master to speak as his master had selective mutism ever since he was little. His parents moved to America to try to help him with not only his mutism but also his mysterious illness that he developed around the same time.

"I'm not going to repeat myself," Jiang Weicheng said calmly.

The butler felt a shiver of fear run down his back when he realized he directly ignored his master's wishes. Facing his master's expressionless face, he knew that he had to get out of there.

Although his master had an expressionless face, his azure blue eyes were enough to instill fear into his soul even though throughout his career, his master never became angry with him. The butler gulped as he quickly retreated and ran out of the room, closing the door silently behind him.

Putting his back to the closed door, the butler took in a deep breath as he felt his heart rate return back to normal. He wiped his sweat off his forehead with his red handkerchief. He didn't know why, but every time he was near his master, he always felt as if his master's expressionless and cold personality was just a facade that was there to hide something even more sinister.

Unknowingly to the butler, the icy facade was not there to hide his so-called sinister personality but his warm-hearted one. Ever since Jiang Weicheng was small, he knew he must keep his icy facade up no matter what because, without it, it will make him appear weak.

He was constantly reminded of this fact when he remembers how his parents used to smile creepily when he was being tortured by them. But as soon as he learn to lock his emotions away and stopped projecting his true feelings, the sick smiles on his parent's faces faded away and the torture occurred less often as it no longer amused them seeing Jiang Weicheng act like a broken doll.

They want him to break down and show his suffering but he never did when he found out his parent's weakness. They were sadists: they enjoyed watching him in pain. After finding this out, Jiang Weicheng began to try to build his pain tolerance, and soon he was immune to pain. He was numb to physical pain. Even if his parents broke his fingers, he never cried out. He just didn't feel it.

When his parents couldn't get him to cry out in pain they ignored him which Jiang Weicheng was thankful for. To him, it was better to be ignored than to be tortured just for their sick benefit. He never understood why his younger brother, Chen Bao was treated differently from himself and he always wondered whether or not he would ever find out the truth.

As the butler walked off to order the head cook to prepare dinner for his master, he thought back to how his master was acting in the room a while ago. It was as if he was King was ordering a peasant and the butler was slightly afraid before the fear dissipated. The butler was already becoming used to Jiang Weicheng's personality after serving him for the past 6 years.

On the other side, Jiang Weicheng looked blankly at the closed door and frowned slightly. He wondered why the butler ran off in such a hurry. He even made an effort to speak to the butler so he wouldn't be so worried about the original host as the butler seems to really care for him.

Also, Jiang Weicheng felt a sense of comfort towards the butler, maybe because of the original's feelings or because the butler strangely reminded him of his own butler, Wang Dong. He wonders what happened to Wang Dong when he suddenly died. Did he grieve for him? Or was Wang Dong just like the others, using him for his own personal gain?

Jiang Weicheng felt saddened that he couldn't be like a normal person and felt as if he disappointed the butler. He tried his best, but he knew that it did not matter because he will always be a failure as his original parents from his previous world instilled that into his brain ever since he was born.

He tried to ignore the feelings of disappointment and instead decided to focus on the main thing. He was somehow transmigrated into this body. As a believer in science, Jiang Weicheng could not wrap his head around this. But after a few minutes of blankly staring at the wall, he accepted it. Jiang Weicheng had a habit of daydreaming and staring blankly at something in a daze as he tried to figure things out and even people who were scared of him found this habit to be very endearing and cute.

Just as he accepted the fact he transmigrated into another person's body, he felt a sense of oncoming pain in his head. When the pain hit, he silently endured it without letting out a single whimper escape or tear fall. He long grew numb to pain and it seems as if this physical trait came along from his previous life to the next. Jiang Weicheng did not know if this was a blessing or a curse.

As he was abused as a child, he never got to do many things that other people got to do when they were younger. Also, he never really understood the concept of love as that was the one thing he never received growing up.

This was why all he ever wanted was either a boyfriend or girlfriend in his previous life. He wanted someone to unconditionally love him. He too wanted to love that person as well but he was just too socially awkward and many were afraid of him even though he did not do anything.

He decided that if that person truly likes him, then they should be brave enough to make a move on him first and he prefers it if that person took the lead in the relationship. Jiang Weicheng hopes that as time passes, he becomes less awkward around the person he likes and he can freely speak with that person.

He died when he was 24 in his previous life but he was never in a relationship. Jiang Weicheng thinks that it was because he wants the other person to make the first move. Even though he had slight crushes on other people, he never made the first move nor indicated he was interested.

In short, Jiang Weicheng is an ice cube and all he wants is someone to melt his exterior and warm him up to expose his interior. He might seem tough and cold but he is really warm and kind-hearted which reminds people of a cinnamon roll. No one ever saw this side of him and Jiang Weicheng wonders if anyone ever will.

After the pain dissipated after a few minutes, Jiang Weicheng's azure blue eyes lit up. He just got the memories of the previous host.
