Wei Yan was reborn.
In his previous life, he held power over the entire court, yet everyone turned against him. The woman he loved died in a sea of flames, his adopted son took an arrow for him and perished, and his younger sister killed herself before his eyes. Only as he lay dying did he realize that the most precious things in the world had never been power, but the people he had let down.
Reborn at seventeen, he still had time to make things right.
In this life, he wanted no dominion over the world. He only wanted to keep everyone safe.
