Zhao Kuangyin: Little Brother, I Could Live Another Fifty Years

I wake up one morning and find I’ve transmigrated into Zhao Kuangyin, founding emperor of the Great Song.

Zhao Kuangyin, courtesy name Yuanlang, rose to power in the Yellow Robe Coup and commands awe wherever he goes. But I’m a liberal arts student, and I’m freaking out!

Because I’ve read the history books. I know that when I turn fifty, I’ll die at the hands of my younger brother Zhao Guangyi in the “Candle Shadows and Axe Sounds” incident!

No way. I’m only thirty. I want to live! I’m going to take hardcore care of my health!

From then on, I steep goji berries in my thermos and practice tai chi in the imperial garden.

Zhao Guangyi is ecstatic. “Big Brother is obsessed with self-cultivation and has no skill as an emperor. The throne of Great Song will be mine sooner or later!”

But twenty years later, on the day of the great calamity when I turn fifty...

Zhao Guangyi excitedly kicks open the doors of my bedchamber with an axe in hand, only to see in horror

Me, over fifty yet still brimming with the vigor of a dragon, smiling as I smash a thousand-year-old golden nanmu desk with one palm.

“Second Brother, in this snowy weather, have you brought that axe to chop firewood for me?”
