Ruiyuan, the abandoned son of the cold palace, was forced to bind the "fate selection system".
On one side, he was barely alive, and on the other side, he was licking blood with the tip of a knife.
He relied on life and death decisions again and again to rise from a humble prince through a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood, and finally ascended to the throne.
However, on the dragon chair, the system gradually became silent, and only the "soul backlash" followed him-the contracted dead souls he devoured were eating away at his sanity day and night.
The war in the northwest has reignited, the conspiracy of Southern Chu is hidden, and the imperial clan is watching...
The only key in his hand is a mysterious jade pendant left by his mother.
Let's see how this "coquettish" new king governs the country and brings peace to the world, while looking for jade and slaying his inner demons, and walks his own path to becoming an emperor between imperial power and human nature.
——I choose life and death, and the world will stand on its own.
