Xiao Ce, the Emperor of Young Songs

In the deep palace of Beili Tianqi City, the fifth prince Xiao Ce is the only outlier. As the direct heir of Emperor Mingde and the Empress, he was supposed to be the proud son of heaven that attracted the attention of both the government and the public, but he hid a top soul from the 21st century - the youngest academician in his previous life. He came to this world of martial arts and machinations at an early age with knowledge and structure that transcended the times. He didn't know Xiao Chuhe's chivalrous aspirations, Xiao Yu's sinister schemes, and he didn't hear about the treacherous situation in the four major cities in the Jianghu. He only understood the internal and external troubles of the Beili Dynasty from the perspective of a sober observer: the undercurrent of the princes competing for the throne in the court, the forces in the rivers and lakes were intertwined, and the neighboring countries on the border were watching eagerly. For as long as he can remember, "unifying the world" has not been a young man's arrogance, but his established goal step by step. Using his identity as a legitimate son as a shield and modern wisdom as a blade, Xiao Ce quietly made plans in the deep palace: winning over the generals of the Forbidden Army, making friends with secluded counselors, and even spying on the strength of Xueyue City and Wushuang City. When the White Prince Xiao Chong adhered to the rule of kings, the Sixth Prince Xiao Chu connected the rivers and lakes, and the Red Prince Xiao Yu specialized in political power, the fifth prince who did not follow common sense had already set his sights beyond the Apocalypse City Wall to a wider world. This chess game that started in the palace will eventually involve the swords of the world and the fate of the dynasty, and will unfold into a magnificent picture of unifying the mountains and rivers in his hands.
