Invincible + scheming and not a do-gooder + keeping a low profile
In the third year of Long'an,
rumors that a serpent would swallow the dragon grew louder by the day. Before long, Xu Haoran, heir to the Prince of Beiliang, was poisoned and forced to go to the capital for treatment.
As a prince’s son, he was forced to keep a low profile and ruin his own reputation under the emperor’s watchful eye. He abducted women, meddled in court affairs, and beat up constables in broad daylight.
Yet, to his surprise, the public’s opinion of him kept improving.
A traveling peddler said, “His Highness truly has the people’s best interests at heart. He is every bit the Prince of Beiliang’s son!”
Xu Haoran said, “That’s nonsense! I was just doing whatever I pleased, throwing my weight around! I’m a spoiled young master!”
A poor scholar said, “His Highness is truly brilliant. Even behind the palace walls, he knows everything happening in the land. I can’t compare, I can’t compare.”
Xu Haoran said, “You’re talking rubbish! How did I manipulate anyone? They did it of their own free will!”
The soldiers cried, “Beiliang grows strong! May the realm prosper!”
Xu Haoran said, “That’s not true!”
The author is so brave👍👍
It's pretty good. What exactly is a Grand Master? What is the value of force in the entire world?
