Joy of Life
Summary of the Joy of Life
He was fading fast in the hospital light, everything going dark around him except for these swirling, impossible emotions. Was he finally done? That word echoed in his head, "dying"... and right before that final blackout, something *horrifying* happened. He woke up... no, wasn't waking up, being reborn seems too clean a term when you're talking about this stuff. He shifted into the world, but not through birth – it was more like an abrupt swap.
He found himself staring at the ceiling from inside a brand new body, one belonging to a two-month-old babe. But he wasn't just *any* baby; this infant lay right in the thick of a political whirlpool aimed squarely at his own existence. His mother’s secrets were etched into his very being, and his noble lineage? That was gonna be its own damn curse.
Born an unwanted heir to a world of danger and whispers, his name was Fan Xian, but it felt like a brand burning onto the soul. This wasn't just life; this was *celebrating* for him now – that strange, desperate word taking on impossible meaning in this cruel new reality. Survival meant forging strength he didn’t have time to cultivate, accumulating power before it even fully dawned on him how terrifyingly young he actually was.
It’s a story wrapped tight with fear and the bizarre urgency of rebirth. A political survival tale set against the backdrop of an innocent life, all called "Joy of Life."
