Defying Fate in the Zhenguan Era

Are the histories familiar to the world necessarily the truth?

Did Li Shimin really plot to force his father to kill his brother? Did he truly covet the throne above all else?

That was never what he wanted.

He had no interest in imperial power. He only wished to be an idle prince and live out his days in peace.

But fate played a cruel trick on him. Tang Emperor Gaozu Li Yuan died, and Crown Prince Li Jiancheng ascended the throne.

An unfounded case was fabricated out of thin air, driving Li Shimin into a desperate situation and ultimately ending with him being unjustly sentenced to death.

But the heavens turn in cycles, and they would not let Li Shimin perish.

As his soul drifted through the river of time, he witnessed the depths of human malice, saw all the world's splendor, and endured countless vicissitudes.

In the unseen workings of fate, his soul reversed the flow of time and returned to the ninth year of Wude.

Returning from the flames, he finally understood: If he did not fight, he would die!

In this life, he would no longer yield or endure in silence.

He would shatter the schemes and power games, ascend to the highest throne, and become an emperor for the ages, whose name would resound through history and whose legacy would be revered for generations!
