So What If I'm a Slave? Killing You Is Child's Play

The calculating former crown prince Shen Zheng x the scheming emperor of an enemy state, Murong Zhao

Two male leads + ensemble cast of young characters + political intrigue and cunning debates + equally matched leads

Father is dead.

The sky over the Northern Kingdom has changed completely. Beyond the window, crows croak out their song, eerily like someone’s fate...

“Hey, you corpse! Dreaming of being emperor again?”

A sudden, mocking voice rang out. The whip’s crack came with a splash of cold water, lashing into his flesh.

Shen Zheng. That was no longer my name.

The crows sang with delight. Soon, an arrow took one of their lives, and blood gushed out.

“Kill him!”

The spectators grew excited and began to cheer.

Shen Zheng wiped the red plum blossom at the corner of his mouth and struggled to his feet. “Cough...”

If he didn’t get up, even his right to live would be at someone else’s mercy.

Another punch came flying. The man he had to fight for his life against today was much taller and stronger than him.

But Shen Zheng had nowhere left to retreat. He could only grit his teeth and keep the brute at bay, advancing slowly as he searched for a fatal weakness.

Red plum blossoms burst into a brilliant crimson, staining the world around them. The red on his pale clothes made everything seem all the more hopeless.

The brute clamped a hand around his neck, staring at him like a hungry wolf, full of contempt.

Shen Zheng’s eyes widened. He bit down on the man’s palm.

The brute felt the sword that had grown in his mouth, then slammed him hard onto the ground.

The impact rattled his head. Red plum blossoms soaked through his clothes, brilliant and dazzling.

He struggled to prop himself up with one hand. Just as the spectators thought he had fallen and was already dead, Shen Zheng stood up.
