Are you fucking kidding me? Li Ming is floored. The guy's end is too pitiable. "What's my mission this time?"

[Master, your mission is to avoid falling for their scheme and live a fulfilling life. As this is your second mission, you may receive sub-tasks. You have the right to accept or reject them.]

Li Ming hums in assent. "A quick question, the concubine and son, and that bodyguard, not one of them is the protagonist, right?" He wants to clarify. There is no way he is letting those scum continue living.

Xiao Hong pauses and cautiously answers no.

Li Ming closes his eyes and commands the system to begin the transfer.

Li Ming opens his eyes in darkness. He tries blinking but this doesn't help. His body is uncomfortable all over.

"Madam, it's a boy!" He vaguely hears a woman's excited voice. Li Ming has an ominous feeling about this.

"Xiao Hong! Come out, you unreliable piece of junk." He yells in his head.

[Master...] Xiao Hong prepares his coffin.

"What the hell is going on? Why can't I see anything? You didn't inform me Yu Shuren is blind! This is cheating! I want to talk to your manager!" Li Ming rants in one breath.

Xiao Hong starts writing his last will and testament. [Master, you are not in Yu Shuren's body.] The red system quietly speaks. [Your soul is transmigrated into the younger brother.]

"The younger brother? The one that got abducted?" Li Ming doesn't recall what happens with him after the abduction so he asks the system.

[He is sold to an official with perverted and unspeakable hobbies. They cut his tongue and severe his tendons. For a decade, he is used and abused until the official has gotten bored of him and has gifted him to one of his guards. The guard doesn't have such depraved hobbies but he whips the disabled body every time he is stressed. The younger brother dies from internal injury and blood loss.]

Li Ming opens his mouth to run curses at the damn system. He belatedly realizes that this body is mute. Returning to reality, he can feel somebody carrying him, washing him, and clothing him in something itchy. A door opens and closes. He is delivered to another pair of arms. The baby wants to complain. Being jostled like this isn't comfortable at all, ah!

"This litle fella sure is quiet," a man chuckles. Who? "Hey little one, welcome to the Yu family. Your mother is sleeping now so don't cry, alright?" The baby remains quiet, big pitch black eyes unfocusedly stare at the man. "Good boy. From now on you are called Yu Huan." The baby blinks as if thanking the man for giving him a good name. He chuckles some more, deeply happy that his second son is safely born from his wife. He orders the servants to take Yu Huan to the next room and to provide for what the newborn needs.

He leaves the main residence to report to the elders. On the way he is intercepted by his excited five-year-old son, Yu Shuren. "Father, Father. How is beloved mother doing? What about the baby? Is it a girl or a boy? Father, Father, I want to see the baby."

Yu Xieren laughs heartily at his son's antics. He picks him up and they walk towards the ancestral mansion located in the further north. "Shuren-er, you have a baby brother. You have to be good to him, alright?"

The cute child vigorously nods his head full of brown hair which he inherits from his father. When they get to ancestral hall, the father and son duo kowtow to the various elders before informing them of Yu Huan's birth. Yu Xieren takes out something bundled in white cloth and hands it to a matron. The matron walks towards the front where the names and plaques of the past generations are recorded. She chants some words, burns a stick of incense, and takes out a small mahogany box where he stores the thing she receives from Yu Xieren. With the ceremony over, the Yu family disperses to their own courtyards after congratulating the happy man.
