"What would you do if every death took you back to a moment before the coup began?"
On the fourth day of June in the ninth year of Wude, Li Yan, an official of the East Palace, died in front of Xuanwu Gate for the ninth time. The severe pain of the arrow piercing his chest had not dissipated. He opened his eyes again and returned to that bloody dawn - the scene of the confrontation between Prince Li Jiancheng and King Qin Li Shimin. Everything started again.
This is not a nightmare, this is a prison.
After eight tragic deaths, Li Yan finally discovered that the coup that determined the fate of the Tang Dynasty was actually a set eternal reincarnation. What's even more frightening is that those "NPCs" that are supposed to be in the background—the deep meaning in Prime Minister Xu Shen's eyes, the hesitant silence of Prince Xi Ma Wei Zheng, and even the weird smile of Qi King Li Yuanji before his death—seem to hide the memory of the last cycle.
"Do you want to cooperate this time?" When the prime minister pushed the poisoned wine in front of him for the ninth time and whispered these words, Li Yan understood: he was no longer the only "awake".
The truth gradually emerged: this reincarnation originated from Emperor Li Yuan's obsession with the "eternal Tang Dynasty". He used the Xuanwu Gate as the anchor and used the bloodshed of the Li family as a sacrifice to lock time in the dynasty's most prosperous moment. And Li Yan is the only "key" that can break all this in the 100th reincarnation.
