I transmigrated into the body of Prince Jing, the most idle prince in the Great Yu dynasty. I wanted nothing more than to live quietly and survive the chaos of the times.
But the court’s fortunes suddenly shifted: the crown prince was deposed, and the princes began fighting over the throne.
I was planning to keep my head down and stay alive, but my personal maid handed me a dragon-patterned jade pendant, her eyes red with tears.
“Your Highness, the guards brought this over this morning. They said it was found among the deposed crown prince’s belongings.”
I looked down and saw four tiny characters carved on the back of the pendant: “Killed by Jing.”
It turned out I had long been a pawn in someone else’s eyes. My days as an idle prince were over.
