The Disgraced Prince in the Cold Palace: Secretly Commanding the Ten Courts of Hell

Chu Ye, the ninth prince of Great Yan, was poisoned and blinded at the age of five. His birth mother died young, and he was abandoned in the Cold Palace for twenty years. In everyone's eyes, he was a useless prince, harmless and fit for anyone to trample on, the royal court's biggest laughingstock. But no one knew that Chu Ye had already awakened the Dark Emperor System! Though blind, he could command endless shadows. After twenty years of lying low and biding his time, he had turned the Cold Palace into his base and secretly built the Netherworld, an organization spanning court and countryside, with life and death in its hands!

The chief minister was King Qin Guang at his service, the general who guarded the nation was King Chu Jiang under his command, and more than half the officials at court, along with a million frontier cavalrymen, were all hidden deathly loyalists of the Ten Courts of Hell! Black and White Impermanence roamed the martial world, taking lives without a trace. Lady Meng, a poison-wielding physician, held the fate of the imperial harem in her hands. Everything in the world, seen and unseen, was his to command with a single thought. The emperor wielded power over all under heaven and thought he controlled everything. The crown prince was consumed by the struggle for succession, acting with reckless arrogance. Neither knew they had long been trapped like turtles in a jar.

To secure peace on the border, the cold-blooded emperor issued an edict to send Chu Ye's only younger sister north to Beiman for a marriage alliance, where she would suffer endless humiliation. After twenty years of endurance, someone had finally crossed his line!

On the day of the marriage ceremony, the blind, discarded prince stepped out of the Cold Palace and appeared in the Golden Throne Hall! In an instant, the officials removed their masks, and a million soldiers dropped to one knee. Cries that shook heaven and earth rang through the imperial city: “We pay our respects to the Netherworld Sovereign! We will follow you and flatten Beiman, bringing Great Yan to its knees!” On the throne, the emperor's pupils contracted. His body stiffened, and he fell into utter despair!
