episode 1

"Mr. Lin, Young Master has locked himself in his room for hours! I'm worried something might happen!"

"Mr. Lin, you should go check on him!"

"..."

The bedroom door was being pounded loudly, and it was clear that the person outside was very anxious.

Lin Yi, feeling dizzy, sat up from the bed, looking around at the unfamiliar surroundings with confusion.

So, where am I?

The knocking continued outside the door.

Lin Yi, annoyed by the noise, had no choice but to get out of bed and walk over to open the door.

As he placed his hand on the doorknob, he noticed that the hand clearly did not belong to him, making him even more bewildered.

Although he usually spent most of his time in an office, he frequently exercised and maintained a healthy physique. However, now his hands were slender, pale, and delicate, giving off an air of someone who had never done manual labor.

What on earth happened?!

With many questions in mind, Lin Yi opened the bedroom door.

The steward outside was sweating profusely. Seeing him finally open the door, he immediately said, "Mr. Lin, Young Master has been locked in his room for several hours. We've knocked, but there's no response. He's also locked it from the inside, and we can't open it with the key. What should we do?"

Lin Yi hadn't fully grasped the situation yet, but he was always calm in the face of problems. He said, "Let's go take a look."

The steward quickly led Lin Yi to Young Master Huo's room.

As they walked, the steward couldn't help but express his concern, "Has Young Master's tendency towards autism worsened again? Perhaps we should call the psychologist this afternoon."

Lin Yi followed the steward calmly, pondering over what he had just heard.

Young Master? Autism?!

A flood of scenarios rushed into his mind.

Lin Yi realized that he had actually transmigrated into a novel!

Not only had he transmigrated, but he had also ended up in a wealthy family novel.

The original owner was a pushover, often taken advantage of by people with ulterior motives. He rarely resisted and kept everything bottled up inside.

The Huo family chose him as a marriage tool because of his non-confrontational nature.

In this marriage, the original owner had no presence. He had never met his wealthy husband and only received a title and five million yuan every month.

The original owner, perhaps due to long-term suppression, passed away shortly after the arranged marriage.

Thinking about this, Lin Yi examined his new body with a sigh.

Five million yuan every month—what's there to be depressed about?

If it were him, he would live a carefree life.

However, since he had inherited the original owner's body, he naturally wanted to do something for him, like reclaiming what belonged to him.

Soon, Lin Yi arrived at the bedroom door with the steward.

Several servants stood outside the door, all looking anxious.

After all, the one locked inside was the only young master of the Huo family, a precious gem cherished by the entire family. If anything happened, they would all suffer.

Compared to their anxiety, Lin Yi remained calm.

Before transmigration, he was a top investment banker, encountering emergencies daily. His mental fortitude was excellent; otherwise, he wouldn't have survived the stress.

Despite his strong mental state, he eventually died from overwork at the age of twenty-six.

The night before transmigration, he had led a few subordinates through an all-nighter to complete a major project. Before he could celebrate, he suffered a heart attack and collapsed.

Lin Yi felt a pang of regret thinking about the completed project.

What a waste!

He had invested so much effort into it, and now someone else would reap the benefits.

Seeing Lin Yi arrive, the servants made way for him.

They didn't expect much from him, given his usual timid demeanor and panic when faced with decisions.

But today, Mr. Lin seemed different?

Ignoring the looks around him, Lin Yi calmly extended his hand to the steward, "Give me the key."

The steward promptly handed him the key.

Lin Yi inserted the key and turned it, but it wouldn't budge.

He then knocked a few times, but there was no response.

After a moment's thought, Lin Yi quickly said, "Where is the window for this room? Take me there, and bring a ladder."
