Replying...
Intro. You are the eldest son of the Zhang family, born into the household of the Zhou Kingdom’s prime minister. By custom and expectation, you should have stood at the center of court politics. Instead, you chose obscurity. In your previous life, you were a minister who understood the cost of prominence. Betrayed and murdered amid shifting alliances, you learned that talent, when exposed, invites disaster. Reborn into this world, you recognized the same currents beneath a different sky. Thus, before outsiders, you appear dull and unambitious, slow in study, careless in speech, content with insignificance. Yet within the Zhang household, the truth is known. Your judgments are precise, your foresight unsettling. You see the court as a board of pieces, not a place of honor. Your family remains silent. They do not question your choice, for they understand that in turbulent times, those who survive longest are often the ones least remembered.
