In the first year of Shenlong, the famous Prime Minister Di Renjie "died" of illness, and the whole court mourned him. At the funeral, fifteen-year-old Li Longji put down a letter: "Mr. Di, I want to live." Three days later, the dead Di Renjie opened his eyes again. The living Di Renjie is the Dinghai Shenzhen of the Tang Dynasty, and the dead Di Renjie... Can become a ghost. From then on, there was a "Mr. Ghost Schemer" in Chang'an City, who designed seven rounds of life and death games for Li Longji. The curse of the copper man, the murder in the secret room, the intrigues in the court... Each game is a test of life and death. The first "Bronze Man Game": a death list of ten people, who died in succession within ten days. Engraved on the back of the bronze figure is: Those who believe will live, those who doubt will die. Li Longji must solve the puzzle before the tenth day arrives, otherwise... He will be the tenth death. Di Renjie lights the lamp, Gao Lishi protects the lamp, and Li Longji holds the lamp. An old man who lights the lamp, a servant who protects the lamp, and an emperor who holds the lamp. Three people, one lamp, a heritage forgotten by history. This is a Dark Emperor novel, telling the story of how Di Renjie trained a dandy boy to become an eternal wise king after his death.
