The Fifth Space

At twenty-one, he was appointed Grand General and given the title of Peerless Invincible King. The whole empire adored him, and his might was unmatched.

His title: Prince of the Grand General!

That same year, the emperor betrothed his most beloved eldest princess to him, granting him royal wealth and the honor of wearing a ceremonial robe.

But now, Yan Qubing’s dantian has been destroyed, leaving him a cripple. He has already prepared to lay down his armor and retire to the countryside. Though only twenty-two, his body is covered in wounds, and with winter’s first chill, the pain cuts to the bone.

The Great Yan Empire is glorious, envoys come from all directions, and peace reigns throughout the land. It is time for him to retire after completing his service.

“Imperial decree! Yan Qubing, receive the decree!”

“By decree of the Great Yan Empire, from this day forth, the title of Prince of the Grand General is revoked. He is demoted to commoner and must leave the Grand General’s residence within the next few days. So decreed!”
