He spent ten years on the battlefield and commands a million followers.
On the eve of his younger sister's entry into the palace as empress, she was kidnapped and brutally assaulted by a gang of vagrants, dying from her injuries.
To find out who had murdered his sister, he altered his appearance and bound his bones to disguise himself as her, then entered the palace in her place. But on their wedding night, he discovered that the emperor was a woman in disguise, and had been poisoned with a deadly toxin.
He cured the empress and helped her restore order to the court.
But after he uncovered his sister's killer, the empress did everything she could to protect her. “She saved my life, and she represents the wealthy Jiangnan region. To move against her is to shake the foundations of the state!”
He laughed.
The skies over the Eight Garrisons of Beimang changed with him. The border army turned around, black banners snapping above their dark-armored ranks as they charged straight for the capital!
As the empress watched the palace gates about to be trampled down, she hurriedly washed herself clean, clutched the hem of his robe, and begged humbly, “I was wrong. From now on, I’ll be your pet canary.”
He looked down at her and smiled with disdain.
The foundations of the state?
He was the only foundation of the Chu kingdom!
