I, Ling Feng, was once a prince of the imperial line. Now I'm a beggar wallowing in the mud, the Fifth Prince who was the first to be eliminated in the struggle among the nine princes for the throne. My elder brother, the Crown Prince, looked down at me from on high and said, “Crawl over here and bark like a dog. Then this bun is yours.” I did as he said, and he laughed with delight.
But he had no idea that I carried a black iron tiger tally capable of commanding the 300,000 cavalrymen of the Northern Frontier, or that the broken bowl in my hands was the Beggars' Guild token, which gave access to the Great Ling dynasty's finest intelligence network.
From start to finish, this story is packed with satisfying twists: schemes, pursuits, undercover missions, comebacks, and more. I hope you enjoy it!
