Shen Jizhou, a wandering doctor of the martial world, lived by three ironclad rules: Don’t get involved in court politics, don’t provoke the powerful, and don’t get entangled in romance.
The most fatal mistake of his life was breaking every one of those rules in a ruined temple when he reached out to a dying, disgraced prince lying in a pool of blood.
From then on, there was no turning back.
He concealed his sharp edges and accompanied the prince through mountains of corpses and seas of blood, helping him climb step by step from a muddy abyss to the cold imperial throne.
The world praised the emperor’s wisdom, but no one knew that buried beneath his vast empire was a wandering doctor’s forbidden obsession.
Shen Jizhou thought that if he stood far enough away, he could keep this love safe.
He asked for no title and no answer, only that the emperor rule the realm and enjoy peace year after year.
In this life, his only faith was the emperor.
