Eight years ago, Su Bai transmigrated into a world in turmoil.
He accidentally saved Princess Wei Yanxue, and from then on embarked on a career in government.
He defended the borders, expanded the territory, and brought good governance to the realm.
When Emperor Wei died, three hundred thousand Yanling troops surrounded the capital. Half the court’s officials shouted from the heights, and Su Bai placed Wei Yanxue on the throne, restoring Great Wei to its former glory.
But Su Bai’s towering achievements made him a thorn in the empress’s side.
She took his tiger tally, stripped him of his office, and demoted him again and again!
He had countless chances to rebel, and the Yanling troops were willing to follow him even unto death, but Su Bai never accepted.
Because back in those days of war and chaos, amid a flying snowstorm, the two of them had vowed to “grow old together.”
Su Bai waited, only to hear:
“Throw him in prison!”
The Demon-Suppression Prison had one hundred and eight levels. Su Bai had built it with his own hands, and the first one hundred and seven levels held great demons.
The Yanling veterans surrounded the capital and were slaughtered!
Former court officials pleaded for mercy and were executed!
The people took to the streets in protest, their fury surging, and were suppressed!
But after Great Wei lost Su Bai for good, corrupt officials ran rampant, and countless people occupied their posts while doing nothing.
At the border, eight hundred thousand enemy troops stood in formation.
The neighboring kingdoms saw Great Wei as a prize and rushed to take a bite out of it.
Looking at Great Wei teetering on the brink, Wei Yanxue thought of Su Bai, who had once subdued six kingdoms by force and quelled the court with his words.
So Wei Yanxue begged him desperately: “Su Bai, I regret it. I’m willing to grow old with you. Will you come back?”
Su Bai shook his head with a laugh and replied firmly, “Of course I’ll come back, but I’ll be coming back to kill!”
