From the Start, I Swallow the Crown Princess, and Li Shimin Begs Me to Save the Nation

[Fantasy history] + [Satisfying contrast] + [Passionate battles] + [A dangerously unhinged character]

Shen Zaiyuan is a chatterbox lunatic who snacks on ghosts and flirts with underworld reapers in his spare time.

He seems carefree and unserious, but when he fights, he doesn’t care if he lives or dies.

Everyone thinks there’s something wrong with his head.

Then the Tang dynasty’s dragon vein stirs, an evil dragon is about to awaken, and Chang’an is laid waste.

The Siming Pavilion is helpless, and the court is gripped by fear.

Only then do people remember the lunatic who spends his days among the common folk.

When Li Shimin sets aside his imperial dignity and visits him three times, all he sees is Shen Zaiyuan sitting with one leg crossed over the other, chewing on a freshly caught monster as he says:

“You want my help? Sure. First, have your Empress Zhangsun’s… soul come out and have a drink with me?”

The whole court: He’s insane! He’s completely lost it!

Li Shimin: “…Sir, the nation comes first!”
