Mu Chen was supposed to be dead, but just as his soul was fading away, a mysterious woman inexplicably brought him to the final years of the Western Jin dynasty.
He had planned to keep his head down, but the mysterious woman meddled, linking his inner thoughts to Emperor Min of Jin, Sima Ye...
The little emperor's words left Mu Chen utterly dumbfounded. He grumbled to himself, “What the heck, is this little emperor serious? That's downright disrespectful!
And fifty strokes of the cane? If they land on my butt, with my puny build, I'll be crippled on the spot.
Fine, you're the emperor, you win. You want a good show? Hmph, you're just a brat. How hard could it be to fool you?
Just watch. I've got plenty of tricks to keep you on your toes.”
The young emperor, Sima Ye, suddenly heard Mu Chen's thoughts and flared up inside. “That brat dares call me a little kid? He's got some nerve.
Looks like fifty strokes weren't enough. Whatever he comes up with, I'll declare it unimpressive. This is the perfect chance to teach him a lesson.
How dare he act so brazenly and insult my imperial dignity? Just you wait...”
