In the thirty-third year of the Great Xia Dynasty, Emperor Wu Tianqi passed away, leaving behind the chaos of nine sons competing for the throne. The seventh prince Wu Mo, who was born as a concubine, was sent to the border area since he was a child because of the low status of his mother and concubine. He was ignored by no one for seventeen years. When blood flowed in the imperial city and six princes died one after another, an imperial edict called him back to the capital - he was not going to fight for the throne, but to be a puppet emperor.
The civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty thought that this wild prince from the border was the best to handle. The censor insulted him in court, the prime minister withheld his salary, and even the maids and eunuchs dared to look down on him. No one knows that Wu Mo has been in the borderland for seventeen years, studying under three hidden masters, and has already cultivated to a level that is difficult for ordinary people to reach. He does not want the loyalty of powerful ministers or the support of aristocratic families, because he understands a truth: it is better to stand and crush than to kneel down to beg.
When Wu Mo smashed the floor tiles of the Imperial Palace in front of the civil and military officials of the court, everyone finally realized that this emperor who did not follow common sense was far more terrifying than they imagined.
