Lin Xiu wakes up to find himself at his own funeral...
He thought he'd died a hero, taking a blade meant for the empress.
But it turns out he'd been a spy sent by an enemy kingdom.
They'd agreed it would only be three years.
Then came another three years.
And then another three.
Before he knew it, he'd risen all the way to head of the guard.
Great. He'd even laid down his life for the empress.
The worst part was what he learned later:
The assassin's target that night had been him all along.
If you're going to treat me badly, don't blame me for returning the favor.
Just as he was burning with rage and preparing to help the empress realize her great ambitions...
The empress's new appointment arrived...
It looks good, I really want to see what Lin Xiu will do next? A different empress is indeed quite interesting.
