Born to Be a Lord

An emperor without a reign title or temple name is called a Young Emperor. Since the Eastern Han, there have been several Young Emperors, but none suffered more than Liu Bian. He was the first emperor of the Eastern Han to be deposed, and he was forced to take his own life.

Now Liu Bian is eight years old. The Yellow Turban Rebellion is about to erupt, while Emperor Ling of Han is still building a lake of wine and a forest of meat in the palace, indulging in his lust without restraint. The imperial prince Liu Xie has already begun to show his intelligence. Dong Zhuo, too, is rising to prominence. The Ten Attendants remain powerful and influential, while He Jin is still lost in the drunken dream of holding power in his hands. Lü Bu is still a mere cavalryman. Cao Cao, Liu Bei, Sun Jian, Yuan Shao, and others are also growing powerful amid the Yellow Turban Rebellion.

Born to be a prince, why must I become a Young Emperor?
