When Mu Qichen was sent from Beidi to the Central Plains as tribute, the entire court bet he wouldn’t survive three days.
The barbarian slave entered the palace with a knife at his side, refused to kneel before the emperor, and even stood in the throne hall, sneering at the Son of Heaven:
“So you’re the little emperor who still reeks of his mother’s milk?”
The court erupted. The officials were scared out of their wits, waiting to see the barbarian from Beidi spill blood on the spot.
Instead, the emperor laughed and made him a favored consort, gave him a home in Yilan Palace, let him keep his knife, never talked back when insulted, and allowed him to do as he pleased in the harem.
Mu Qichen: “Is the emperor of the Central Plains sick in the head?”
The more trouble he caused, the more the emperor doted on him.
He cursed, and the emperor listened.
He refused to share the emperor’s bed, and the emperor waited.
Later, he realized that the emperor really was sick:
He sacrificed sleep to govern, worked himself to the bone, and pushed through headaches with medicine while powerful clans held him back and feudal lords threatened him. He didn’t even have a single person by his side he could trust.
Mu Qichen couldn’t stand watching anymore.
If it was political scheming, he’d learn!
If it was war, he’d fight!
If it was the whole world standing against him, he’d stand by his side!
He’d thought he would be nothing more than a tribute who ate, waited, and did nothing. But somehow...
he’d won over the emperor himself.
Years later, dressed in a princely robe and carrying a curved saber, he stood with the Son of Heaven in the Hall of Supreme Harmony, ruling at his side.
The officials knelt and hailed him as “Regent, long live!”
“Little emperor, this prince has guarded your realm for you.”
“ My realm has always been yours.”

My wife's writing is good 🍉, I feel like the two characters are redeeming each other, why is it a bit sour 🧐 🧐, although the rating is low, but it is very interesting, I hope it can become popular 💕 💕
I personally think it is very beautiful. Although the author is a newcomer, his writing style is really very delicate. I feel that the writing is very connotative and the plot is not procrastinating. I personally think it is very beautiful, and every character in the book has his own personality. The author writes in addition to the duality of the characters in the book. In short, it is very beautiful. Highly recommend, highly recommend ๑ᐢ..ᐢ๑
This must be highly praised. It is such a beautiful book and the writing is so good, yet it is not popular!
