Xiao Jue, a special forces soldier from the apocalypse, is reborn in ancient times with some of his supernatural abilities intact, only to become a guard to the crown prince confined in the Cold Palace.
Xiao Jue just wants to stay alive and earn his keep. Looking at his future superior, who is trembling with fear, he asks, “Your Highness, have you heard of the rules of survival in the apocalypse?”
The crown prince’s eyes widen. “What... are the rules of the apocalypse?”
Xiao Jue sighs. “Never mind. Let’s start with playing dead and making sure they’re finished off.”
Later, as the crown prince steps over mountains of corpses to ascend the throne, he asks Xiao Jue in a low voice from the dragon throne, “Xiao Qing, is this finishing blow sharp enough?”
Xiao Jue looks into those unfathomable eyes and suddenly feels he might have taught him a little too well.
