Dayao has been a country for more than 300 years, but there has never been a prince.
In this dynasty, the throne was not passed down to the direct eldest son, male or female, and was not designated by the emperor.
After each generation of princes and princesses reaches the age of twenty, they must participate in a throne battle to determine the next emperor——
Accept the imperial edict.
This year, Emperor Beichen of Dayao summoned forty-eight princes and princesses back to Beijing.
They share the same blood, and have enjoyed the most noble status in the world since birth. They also know from birth that one day they will compete with their brothers and sisters for the same position.
The emperor personally presided over the contest.
The real Chengtian imperial edict is hidden somewhere no one knows.
Forty-eight people can look for clues, form alliances, deceive, betray, or kill their competitors.
There are no concubines, no elders and children, no men and women.
There is only victory or defeat.
From the moment the imperial edict began, the identities of the prince and the princess lost their meaning.
They have only one common identity——
Heir to the throne.
Among the forty-eight people, only one was able to obtain the Tianzhao in the end.
And that person will become the next emperor of Dayao.
