Once an empress, now an emperor.
The Jiang family gave their flesh and blood to help him ascend the throne, only to be repaid with false charges and the slaughter of their army.
Love has withered. All bonds have been severed.
From now on, there is no husband and wife, only political enemies.
Depose the emperor, purge the harem, cleanse the court, and secure the frontiers.
I rule the realm, with no thought for romance, only the empire.
No favoritism, no special treatment, no entanglements of the heart.
This vast realm is mine alone to command.
Let posterity judge the merits and sins of my reign.
