A Roll Call of History’s Worst Sons, Driving the Ancestors to Despair

The firmament split open, and the [Imperial Live Stream] descended, forcibly connecting the eras of Qin, Han, Tang, Song, Ming, Qing, and countless other dynasties.

Its first special feature was none other than: “If You Don’t Bring Disaster on Yourself, You Won’t Die: The Ten Most Feckless Crown Princes!”

And so, every dynasty faced the most chaotic and mortifying moment in history:

Ying Zheng had just breathed a sigh of relief, thinking Sima Zhong was stupid enough, when he saw his own Hu Hai ranked second. The fall of the Qin dynasty after just two generations was broadcast in crystal-clear detail! In the Qilin Hall, the First Emperor drew his sword, murderous intent soaring.

Li Shimin was watching another possible version of the Xuanwu Gate Incident with his father, Li Yuan, and his elder brother, Li Jiancheng. The three men stared at one another in silence, cold sweat streaming down their faces.

Zhu Yuanzhang watched helplessly as his fourth son, Zhu Di, raised an army under the banner of “pacifying the realm.” He flew into a rage across the screen: “@Zhu Di, you brat, how dare you rebel?!”

Kangxi and his “elite team of princes” watched the entire struggle among the nine sons for the throne. The princes completely lost control of their expressions, while the old emperor was so weary his breath caught in his throat...

And then there were the comments flying back and forth, taunting one another across the ages:

[Ming · Zhu Yuanzhang]: @Zhu Di, get out here and accept your death!

[Tang · Li Shimin]: @All Emperors, choose your heir carefully. Learn from those who came before!

** [Han · Liu Bang]: Great stuff. Love it. Do more of these!]

When the rankings were over, the live stream announced its final, chilling mission: [All emperors across the dynasties must discuss the “perfect succession” and change the fate of civilization’s destruction.]

Ying Zheng, Li Shimin, Zhu Yuanzhang... The eyes of every great ruler shifted from anger and shock to resolve. They would join forces to defy fate and rewrite the destiny of Huaxia for all eternity!
