Imprisoned and awaiting death!
My childhood sweetheart marries someone else, while I'm reduced to a lowly prison guard.
I endure humiliation and cling to life, not because I've given up, but so I can rise to the top of the world!
The prison hides dragons, their power biding beneath the surface.
Though I am only a prison guard, I hold the power of life and death and scheme over the fate of the realm.
Those who betray me will repay it a hundredfold!
Those who look down on me will all end up beneath my feet!
From death-row prison guard to founding emperor!
Feels very real
