Traveling back in time to the eight-year-old Wei Emperor Cao Fang, I was supposed to be the puppet of the Gaoping Ling Incident, the deposed emperor mentioned in the history books.
But when I saw another version of myself in the mirror - that child with cruel eyes and a smile on his lips, I knew that history was wrong.
He is the evil ghost hiding in my bones and blood, the most primitive madness in the Cao family's bloodline. Above the court, I am the wise and forbearing "Shen Yijun"; deep in the palace, he is the cruel and bloodthirsty "Shadow of Violence".
Cao Shuang looked at me like a plaything, and Sima Yi looked at me like prey. They don't know that every humiliation and persecution is feeding the devil in me.
"Help me," I whispered to him in the mirror, "kill them all."
He smiled.
When the blood spattered the Xuanshi Palace and the city of Luoyang trembled under my feet, I suddenly realized: Rather than being strangled by powerful ministers, it would be better for me to... Become the only tyrant in this troubled world.
Two souls, participating in a huge gamble for power. If you win, you will be the best in the world; if you lose, you will be doomed.
