Basically LWJ dies after getting whipped. He already knew about WWX's death at this point and his body couldn't handle his injuries anymore. But then he wakes up in a new universe where cultivation doesn't exist and is more like a historical/regency world where the Lan family has been a noble family for generations. But they've been struggling financially and is now in debt because QHJ used all their money to gamble after his wife died, and it just so happens that the emperor of that world is basically inviting young men/women into the palace as candidates to be his spouse. You can think of the advantages of going there but mostly, the ones going there will be protected and given financial backing during the time they'll be there and of course if you're chosen by the emperor, you'll get to marry him.
The system of the whole thing is basically like The Selection where the emperor gets to know the people who go there, choose favorites, send home the ones he doesn't like as much, and then the most favored one gets to marry him.
QHJ is dead because reasons and now LXC is in charge. He's having a hard time to keep their family afloat so he has to let go of many of their servants, only leaving an oc who's raised LXC and LWJ and a few more that's been serving their family for generations. LQR is alive but he's very ill because reasons and they don't have money to try and find a skilled doctor for him.
Before og! LWJ transmigrated, the LWJ of this world proposed to LXC that he go to the palace to get the perks of being there and his strategy was to keep the emperor's attention enough, but not too much that he could be chosen as a spouse. Like, just stand in the bg basically. LXC reluctantly agreed to this because he trusts his little brother but the emperor is also notorious for being eccentric so he's worried about LWJ.
og! LWJ transmigrates after he was already in the palace, and he's very confused about the whole thing. But then surprise surprise! WWX has been the emperor all along. LWJ doesn't know what the fuck he's supposed to do but the only thing that matters is WWX is alive and here and right in front of him and he's just so glad about it.
