This is an epic reinterpreted with blood and glory. The glorious life of Tian Khan Li Shimin, whom we know well, originated from an ulterior secret buried deep in his youth. When he was only ten years old, he rescued Emperor Sui Yang from the sea of blood in the mountain of corpses at Yanmen Pass. What he brought back was not glory, but an ancient insect called "Tiance" that parasitized in the spine and fed on "imperial ambition".
It gave Li Shimin extraordinary talents and unparalleled charm, but it also thirsted for the blood of his loved ones every time he reached the peak of his achievements. The tears and blood in front of the Xuanwu Gate, the undercurrent in the prosperous era of Zhenguan, the tragedy of father and son being jealous of each other, and brother killing each other, are they the inevitable consequences of history, or are they sacrifices carefully guided by "Tiance"?
When Li Shimin enters his old age, he finally realizes that his lifelong conquests and hard work are just the ultimate feast prepared for the worms in his body. What choice will he make? Are you willing to become a puppet saint who nourishes the divine insects, or are you willing to use your broken body as your people to launch a final war against the "destiny"?
