In the sixteenth year of Yanxing, the Great Yong dynasty fell, plunging the land into chaos as warlords vied for supremacy.
Yet in the end, the victor was a country boy.
Since ancient times, heroes have come from all walks of life. Xiao Ce had braved the perilous martial world, become a rebel who stirred up a storm, and even served as the... attendant of a fallen princess.
The fallen princess loved stargazing. Xiao Ce still remembered how, beneath the brilliant river of stars, he had leaned toward her and boldly grinned. "What's the fun in just looking at the stars? I'll take you up a tower to pluck one."
Zhao Yunzhen propped her chin on one hand and pushed him away in exasperation. "My Star-Picking Tower already belongs to someone else."
"I'll take it back for you."
Through all his experiences of right and wrong, good and evil, Xiao Ce never bothered to embellish the truth. He let the court historians record everything as it happened. The one thing he refused to discuss was serving Zhao Yunzhen as her attendant. The young emperor blushed whenever it came up.
The thing he was most proud of in his life was not bringing an age of chaos to an end, but that, in his reckless youth, he had stolen the most precious princess from the dying Great Yong dynasty.
