Great Tang: The Empress Reveals the Li Family's Twin Sons!

In the first year of the Zhenguan era, Li Yu transmigrates to the Tang Dynasty and becomes the twin younger brother of the legitimate eldest son, Li Chengqian, one of the Li family's twin boys.

That year, to ensure the smooth succession to the throne, Li Shimin follows an old custom that one of a pair of imperial twins must die. He orders Li Yu's execution, then appoints Li Chengqian crown prince in the tenth month of the same year.

In the fourth year of Zhenguan, in an ordinary home on the outskirts of Chang'an.

Empress Zhangsun looks at Li Yu before her, grief-stricken. "Young man, do you have parents?"

"Maybe. I'm just an orphan who was abandoned."

Empress Zhangsun fights back her tears. "Do you remember what happened when you were eight?"

Li Yu looks dazed. "I've mostly forgotten. I only vaguely remember that year, when my father threw me off a cliff..."

"That year, beneath the cliff, every rib in my body was broken, and my flesh was covered in blood. I would have been better off dead!"

"If I ever meet him again, I will ask him why he was so cruel to me!"

"I will make him... suffer the same pain I suffered back then!"

"I will... repay him for that pain a hundred, a thousand times over!"
