Synopsis

On the day Li Longji ascended the throne, he patted him on the shoulder. “You are not my servant. You are the blade I keep hidden in the dark.” A blade drawn must taste blood. A blade sheathed goes unseen. From a wretched slave in Compound C to a Great General of Cavalry in the Tang Dynasty. Four campaigns in Lingnan. Three thousand against thirty thousand. He made the barbarians kneel and call him grandfather. The history books described him in just five words: “Fierce, ruthless, and bloodthirsty.” Everyone feared him. Even the emperor began to fear him. He spent thirty years hunting down the true culprit behind the massacre of his family. It wasn't Empress Wei. It wasn't Princess Taiping. The person had been right across from him all along. Calling him brother, drinking with him. They had even saved his life when he was close to death. For thirty years, he had called that person “Big Brother.” On the night the truth came to light, the emperor summoned him to the Taiji Palace. “You know too much.” He knelt there, the jujube-wood knife still tucked inside his robes. The character “Su” on its handle had been worn away until it was no longer visible. He lifted his head and smiled. “If Your Majesty says to put this blade away, then put it away I shall.” He untied the knife and set it on the ground. Then he turned and walked out of the Taiji Palace. Behind him, the emperor's eyes were filled with murderous intent. But he did not look back. This is not a story about a eunuch rising to power. It is the story of a man used as an emperor's blade all his life, who finally chooses to lay that blade down and walk away alive. His family was slaughtered when he was six. He was castrated at seven. He crawled back from hell, not for revenge, but to tell the world: I refuse to accept my fate. I decide my own destiny.
