I spent fifteen years sweeping the grounds of the royal academy, and in that time, I mastered every art under heaven.
Then one day, the false emperor sent soldiers to seize my younger sister and send her north to Beiman as a bride.
I pushed open the academy’s long-sealed gates.
Outside, three thousand armored soldiers stood in grim formation.
Inside, clad in white as bright as snow, I raised a hand, and stars rained down from the heavens.
“By imperial decree, the former prince Li Chenyu has openly defied the throne. Kill him without mercy!”
I smiled. “You’ve sat on that dragon throne for fifteen years. It’s time to give it back.”
