The Mad Emperor Imprisons the Divine Son

[Unhinged emperor gong + abstinent divine priest shou + emotional deadlock + incense altar and bloodline + powerful push and pull + love imprisoned by imperial power]

[Two male leads + political intrigue and angsty romance + obsessive emperor + divine priest offering his spirit + battle of desire + fated obsession]

Shen Yanci, divine priest of the Xuan Temple, born with sacred incense bones, his spiritual breath sealed, destined to serve as a sacrificial spirit.

He must not fall in love, nor ask about love.

He must only sit before the incense altar, channel fortune for all under heaven, and safeguard the nation and its lifeline.

But one man refuses to believe in fate, believing only in obsession.

The new emperor, Chu Yaoming, has plotted for a long time since ascending the throne, all to take him from the temple.

Not to protect the nation, but to imprison a god.

He is the emperor, with command over the empire's armies.

He is a god, yet unable to move, and can only fall step by step into the man's carefully woven trap.

Shen Yanci stays calm and self-possessed, cutting off desire,

but in the end, one misstep sends him into the depths of political intrigue, imprisoned by the mad emperor and trapped in a deadly game of love and desire.

He thought the emperor was the mad one, consumed by obsession.

But when he looks back, he sees that he himself has long since sunk into the game, to the very depths of his soul.

Unhinged emperor × abstinent divine priest.

A game against fate, a tangle of love bound by destiny.

Whoever falls first will be doomed beyond redemption.
