They should have been the most exalted people in the land.
Fusu, the First Emperor's eldest son, was forced to die by a forged edict.
Liu Ju, Crown Prince of Emperor Wu, died in defeat during the Witchcraft Crisis.
Li Chengqian, Crown Prince of Emperor Taizong, was deposed for plotting rebellion and died in despair.
Zhu Biao, Crown Prince of Hongwu, died young, before his father.
They all had one thing in common: they died at the hands of their imperial fathers, or on the path to becoming fathers to emperors themselves.
After death, they were ushered into a secluded manor.
Here, they have only three things to do:
Find their own Dao.
Carry out missions and purge distortions in time and space.
Figure out why they came here.
And Li Chengqian's first mission brings him face-to-face with Wu Zetian's conspiracy.
She intends to use Chang'an as her furnace and the people as fuel, refining the dragon qi of the Li Tang dynasty.
"I'm not here to awaken anyone. I'm here to watch. To see how the dragon qi of the Li Tang dynasty is slowly drained and refined, bit by bit. Then remember. Remember this moment. Remember this pain. Remember the impossible predicament that must be broken."
An ensemble story featuring four tragic crown princes. There are couples, angst, and sweet moments. A slow burn, but worth it.
The four crown princes: "So we're not only fighting fate, we have to team up to take down the boss, too?"
The Great Tree: "That's not all. Your paths are against the will of Heaven itself."
The regrets of history will finally be rewritten!
