The Emperor's Mentor of Cangming

After completing a top-secret national mission, Chu Yuan, a master strategist and psychological expert, is betrayed and killed. His consciousness crosses through time and space, and he is reborn as a baby named Yun Shuo. The Yun Kingdom into which he is born stands on the eve of turmoil, with the imperial throne changing hands and powerful clans locked in conflict. His family, the Duke of Zhenguo’s household, whose achievements threaten the throne, sits at the very center of the storm.

A soul possessing an adult’s wisdom and knowledge of the future is imprisoned in an infant’s body. Forced to watch conspiracies take root with an innocent gaze, he witnesses his family crumble amid political struggles and his closest kin die unjustly. This massacre leaves a wound in his heart that will never heal, and becomes the starting point of his path to vengeance.

From then on, Yun Shuo keeps his sharp edge hidden and patiently lays his plans. In the martial world, he is the hidden master of a mysterious organization; at court, he is a lone counselor whose schemes never fail; at the new ruler’s side, he is both mentor and friend, a mirror for the emperor’s heart.

This is a revenge plot played out on the board of the entire world. He seeks to destroy not only his enemies, but also the rotten old order. In this turbulent age, he will personally nurture a wise ruler and establish a world of peace and justice.
