In the prosperous age of Zhenguan, it was as bright as the sun. However, in the shadow of Jinluan Palace, the battle for the reserve position has long turned into a bone-gnawing gangrene.
I, Li Chengqian, the crown prince of the Tang Dynasty, should have been the most dazzling existence under the scorching sun of the empire, but instead I have become the abandoned son of my father to balance the court, the stepping stone of my younger brother's ambition, and a "waste" destined to be crushed in the history books. Lame? Captivity? Humiliation? Is this the "favor" bestowed upon his eldest son by the Khan of Heaven? !
Hatred! The monstrous hatred burns away and I remain content!
When the [Supreme Emperor System] comes, when the dust of history gives me the eyes to see everything, this cage-like East Palace is the abyss into which I dive!
Kill the evil slaves with the rod, wash the palace with blood, and let the young people understand in fear who is the heir!
Father? Summoned? Good! Let me show you how the wings you broke off with your own hands can be reborn from blood! "I don't want to be the second Li Jiancheng!"
King Wei? Coveting the big treasure? Can! I first asked Wu Mu Yuefei, who I summoned, if he would agree!
This decadent court, this prosperous age of hypocrisy, this rule that determines the world by concubines, should all be broken! I, Li Chengqian, not only want to survive, but also want to take back everything that belongs to me, and even more!
In the seventeenth year of Zhenguan, Xuanwu Gate's iron hoof is still remembered. When I hold Li Tai's head in my hand, carry the memorial tablet of my ancestors on my body, step on the threshold of the Tai Chi Palace, covered in blood, I face the almighty King of Kings!
"Your Majesty, you are asking me why I rebelled?" Li Chengqian sneered, his voice shaking the beams, "Then tell me, in the ninth year of Wude, who stood at the Xuanwu Gate and stained the palace with blood?!"
Destiny? Human heart? History? From today on, I will rewrite it!
"Prince Chengqian, please your majesty - Zen position!"
In the winter of that year, the Tang Dynasty changed hands and the new emperor ascended the throne!

A very good Machiavellian story with a good pace.
The system doesn't take up too much, it's just a auxiliary function. Those who like to be Machiavellian can check it out.
