[Synopsis] Reborn as the most downtrodden prince in history, Xiao Ke is kicked to the brink of death by his vicious elder brother from the start.
At death’s door, he unexpectedly binds to the [Myriad Worlds Wronged Souls Summoning System], which summons only legendary figures who died unjustly!
His very first draw yields the phantom of Bai Qi, the God of War, whose murderous aura overwhelms the palace.
“Father! Big Brother hit me again!” Xiao Ke wails in utter anguish.
Behind him, the blood-red eyes of an invisible God of War snap open. The Crown Prince wets himself and flees on the spot, plagued by nightmares night after night.
He thinks it is just good luck, but it turns out the System specializes in producing “wronged souls” among the great:
Bai Qi, the Butcher of Men, grips a blood-red sword of nothingness. “My lord, point me in a direction. Burying four hundred thousand is just as easy.”
Meng Tian, commander of the elite troops, builds a Great Wall of resentful spirits. “Those who slander Your Highness, may I bury them in its foundations?”
Shang Yang, the demon of law, produces a decree of collective punishment. “Your Highness has been insulted? I request that his entire clan be wiped out!”
Before long, the Cold Palace has become a Hall of Heroes, and courtly conventions are in total disarray:
The Ninth Prince is impeached? The censor kneels outside the palace gates at dawn, slapping himself and confessing his guilt.
Assassins are sent to kill him? The killers vanish without a trace, while a blood mist drifts over the moat for three days.
Emperor Xia trembles. “Why does the throne feel colder than a coffin?”
On the night of the coup, the rebels surround the city.
Xiao Ke stands in midair, with countless phantoms of wronged souls roaring into the sky behind him.
Bai Qi slowly breaks into a savage grin. “My lord, shall we bring the winds of Changping once more?”
