<Commencing to next world...3...2...1...0>

Wei opened his eyes to see himself within a bedroom. He walked to the mirror and looked at his teenage body. Looking through this body's memories, he was a boy that just came to this house.

<Did host want to have this boy's story?>

"Yes."

Meng Qiu is the body's name. The father of Meng, and his twin brother, had an drunken affair with a random maid. When the maid realized that she was pregnant, she left and hid away. Many years passed before the king, Meng's father, found out about the maid's pregnancy. The queen had no male children and only three females. The queen and king had no affection for each other. They had a mutual understanding as the leaders of their kingdom.

The king, Fang Yahui, had not realised that the maid had twins and not one child. Unfortunately for the twins, their mother was weak after childbirth and died a few years later. The two kids were separated. Meng became an orphan on the streets and Zeng, his twin brother, was found and taken in by a couple. The king found and took Zeng back to the palace to be a prince at the age of 12. Meng had no idea of anything and continued to struggle to get food, he had many hardships surviving on the streets. A year later, he fell in front of a carriage.

Coincidently, the carriage was of the King's Uncle. The horseman stopped and reported to the man inside. The man pushed aside the curtain and looked at the unconscious boy. He realised that Meng had very similar features to Zeng and took him back to his estate. The servants cleans and dresses the boy into clean clothes. This was when Wei transferred into Meng's body as he passed in his sleep.

"What a weak body. All skin and bones."

Meng walked out of the room and went around. He found the kitchen and pantry. He made himself a simple sandwich and sat on the ground. As he slowly ate, he thought of his next plans. Survival was a must.

"Boy. What are you doing?"

Meng snapped his head towards the person. It was dark, but the other was in a robe as he stood at the door. Meng pretended to be frightened and glared at the man with distrust. He stood in an offensive stance, seeming like the man would beat him. The man was silent as he looked down at Meng. He walked forward while Meng stepped back and soon they were face to face. The moonlight touched down on them, revealing each other's appearances.

"?!"

Meng was shocked to see a handsome man with familiar cold-sharp eyes. Quan Ru was amazed at how different Meng looked cleaned up. Especially his peachblossom eyes that seem to sparkle and see through his soul. An elegant young boy but Quan Ru remembered that Meng has been an orphan his whole life. He should not have any education on the noble etiquettes. He felt like Meng was quite endearing.

"Who are you?"

"Prince QuanRu, the current king's uncle. Now, can you tell me what you were doing on the ground a while ago?"

"I was sitting, I made myself something to eat. Sorry...for not asking," Meng softly apologized with a small blush of embarrassment.

QuanRu wanted to comfort and let the boy feel safe, but he held back and told Meng to follow him. They went into a study room. Meng saw a large desk with piles of paperwork.

"Do you know how to read or write?"

"Only a little bit, your highness."

"Here's the alphabet and under is numbers. Study this."

"Yes, your highness."

QuanRu went to his desk and started doing paperwork. After a few hours, he noticed that it was late and looked over to see Meng sleeping on the chair. He finished up the last file and went to pick up Meng. He frowned when he felt Meng's malnourished body. Since then, he taught Meng everything. From basic education to nobles etiquette and sword training. He noticed early on that Meng was a quick learner. QuanRu assumed that Meng's appearance was more on his mother's side than his fathers.

If a stranger looked at Meng, they wouldn't know that he was the king's child unless they had seen Zeng. The twins had some similarities after all. One afternoon, the little Prince Zeng came to visit his granduncle. The 17yr old Meng met his twin brother for the first time. Zeng was shocked to the core as he met with someone with a similar face as his.

Meng was more on the lean side unlike Zeng who had more muscle mass like the king. The butler stayed silent as he knew the secret of the twins. Meng was calm and nodded to them before continuing on past them. The unsettled Zeng entered GuanRu's study and greeted his granduncle.

"Granduncle...the young man from before...,"

"He's my distant relative. Don't mind his actions, he can not speak."

"I see," Zeng accepted the information.

Within the next three years, Meng befriended the three princesses. Brought up many businesses and gained the admiration of the commoners. Not once did anyone hear his voice as only QuanRu knew. The people had always thought he was mute.
