Xu Yuan transmigrates as the commander of the Imperial Guard, just as he is about to take the capital. He thinks he has a perfect start and only needs to ride the dragon to success, earning honors for himself and his family.
But then Prince Anping, Zhao Jing, suddenly announces, “The traitors at the emperor’s side have been eliminated. The army is withdrawing!”
If the army pulls out, won’t those of us who have risked our lives for the rebel prince become the emperor’s prime targets for a purge? Fortunately, his golden finger arrives and reveals the only way to survive: stage a mutiny and force the commander-in-chief to take the throne!
Ignoring his injuries, Xu Yuan grabs the newly awakened “Invisible Blade” and storms into the command tent, holding it to Zhao Jing’s neck. “Your Highness, if you don’t take that throne, our thirty thousand brothers are dead!”
But instead of getting angry, Zhao Jing gives him a mysterious smile. “Zijing, you’re far bolder than I expected.”
Xu Yuan draws a sharp breath.
Good grief. Even more terrifying than a rebel is a prince who schemes to make you rebel!
If they’re putting on an act, he’ll play his part to the end. As the “traitor forced into rebellion,” he’s destined to sweep all before him!
