My name is Li Tianzi. I was once an imperial guard bearing a blade at the emperor's side, but after saving his life, I rose from general to prince of the blood, equal in rank to the emperor. After ten years of war, I reclaimed Yanyun, pacified the southern barbarians, and slaughtered the Japanese pirates, yet the emperor rewarded me with poisoned wine. That night, I overturned the imperial desk, blood splattering across the throne hall. “If you won't let me live, then I'll replace the emperor!” The nine clans summoned to court? Laughable! What I want is for this vast realm to bear the surname Li!
