Once in time, Gu Chenchuan, the seventh prince of the Daqian Dynasty, became the most unpopular waste. His biological mother died young, and he had no relatives to rely on. He was weak and cowardly, and could be bullied by everyone.
After falling into the water and still being assassinated, he realized that under the imperial power, living itself was a game.
He doesn't compete for favor, doesn't show off his edge, and only makes plans in the dark. From surviving in a cold palace to establishing a foothold in a fiefdom; from controlling food routes to secretly raising elite soldiers; from a despised abandoned son to a key person who controls the situation of the government.
They gave him a way to survive, but they were not his dependence——
The cold-faced secret guards protected his life, the daughter of a powerful official made the start for him, and the merchants and wizards raised military funds for him.
The world never relies on charity from others.
When the border war breaks out, when the reserve turmoil rises again——
He will eventually move from cowardice to edge.
Under the imperial power, what he wanted was not just survival, but the world.
