One Silver Spear Subdues the Realm, and from Then On, No One Wields a Blade

One is the posthumous son of the crown prince, raised among ordinary people. The other is the sixth prince, born to wealth and power.

They become sworn brothers and fight side by side on the battlefield, defending the northern frontier and expanding the realm.

One ascends the throne; the other is made Prince Xuange. They believe they can rule as loyal sovereign and subject, building a golden age together.
