He is a little prince in the cold palace, shunned by all.
He is a God of War feared by enemy armies, taking the battlefield at ten and pacifying the barbarians at twenty. He accomplishes on his own what generations could not.
The emperor fears his power will overshadow the throne, the ministers fear he'll stand in their way, and the princes fear he'll seize the crown...
Though he is wholly devoted to his country and has never harbored treasonous thoughts, the God of War is ultimately schemed against by those closest to him and dies a gruesome death at the palace gates.
After Qu Zhuoqing dies, the world reviles him. Only one person travels a thousand miles to dig him out of a sea of corpses with his own hands, then buries him beside himself on that snowy day.
Reborn, the two souls, who once had no connection, switch bodies.
He clears the path ahead for him, helping him ascend step by step to the supreme throne.
He takes his place at the heart of imperial power, matching wits with the ministers and fighting desperately to carve out a path to survival.
When the dust settles and the truth comes to light, Qu Zhuoqing is nearly heartbroken.
He never imagined that, while he was mired in the depths, someone would be willing to abandon the light and sink into darkness with him forever.
"Zhuoqing, before I met you, I never thought of anyone else. When I met you, I knew: it had to be you."
