Ye Feng transmigrates one day and becomes the heir to Prince Su.
From then on, he has a father whose name inspires fear throughout the land!
He understands from a young age how a ruler might resent a subject whose achievements outshine his own. To ease the royal family's suspicion of Prince Su's household, he puts his talent for eating, drinking, and having fun to good use. He avoids major offenses but commits one minor blunder after another. Want something to hold over me? Get lost!
A perfect spoiled young lord!
…
“It’s nothing serious. I just nearly killed the Minister of Rites’ son.”
“…And you don’t call that serious?”
…
“You’re out of the loop. Our young lord spent three years in Daliang, and two and a half of them sleeping in brothels!”
“…The young lord must be in great shape!”
…
Ye Feng had hoped to enjoy a few more years of an easy life, but then he was sent to another state as a hostage for three years.
From that point on, the wheels began to turn.
Assassination attempts came one after another.
Conspiracies sprang up everywhere.
He saw coastal raiders leave ordinary people homeless and bereaved,
and witnessed the nomads’ cavalry trample the grasslands, forcing people from their homes.
Enemy armies massed at the borders. Imperial power bore down on them.
The darkness that devoured people began to show itself,
so he tightened his grip on the sword in his hand!
“My father once told me that having a sword and not using it is nothing like having no sword to use at all!”
“From this day on, I’ll be the one who wields the sword! I’ll fight my way to the truth!”
He cleaved through the darkness with his blade, letting sunlight fall through the cracks and onto the world.
…
The long sword flashed with cold light. Ye Feng grinned,
leaving every enemy trembling with fear, hearts broken and courage drained.
At last, he became a taboo those people dared not even mention!
He raised his sword to the heavens.
“Today, I’ll give this world a brand-new sky!”
