Su Mu transmigrates into the body of Emperor Yu, the last emperor of Jingzhou. To avoid his destined early death, he tries to escape the palace, but only ends up worse off than before. Since he can’t get away, surely he can simply give up the throne? As long as he can stay alive, that’s all that matters.
Nangong Ling was saved by Emperor Wu as a child and remained in Jingzhou, becoming the sharpest blade in the emperor’s arsenal. Before his death, Emperor Wu made Nangong Ling promise to assist the young emperor until he could stand on his own, after which Nangong Ling would be free to leave.
But an accident upends everything. Until they find a way to break their empathic bond, Nangong Ling has no choice but to protect the young emperor and try to get along with him. But what does he mean, abdicate? He’s stopped trying to escape the palace and now he wants to hand over the throne!
“Your Majesty! It’s time for court!”
“No! I’m sleepy! Whoever wants to go can go!”
“If you don’t get up, you won’t eat for three days!”
“Nangong Ling! You’re such a jerk! Boohoo…”
“Good boy! Be good!”
