Before Wen Qingli died for the first time, his only regret was that he hadn't enjoyed life enough...
Blood at the corner of his mouth, he stared at the man holding a sharp sword to his throat and sneered. "The late emperor treated you well. Before he died, he even made you swear to help me rule. Is this how you help me?"
"If the late emperor had known you would turn out to be such an incompetent and unjust ruler, he might have regretted passing the throne to you," the prime minister replied.
"If I could start over, I would make you..." Before he could finish, one of the men nearby could take no more and severed his throat with a stroke of the sword.
Before dying, all he could see was the prime minister trembling as he dropped his sword.
So be it...
The second time Wen Qingli died, it was because of a bowl of medicine...
Furious, he slammed his hand on the table. "You said you learned medicine only because you wanted me to be healthy. Is this how you repay me?"
The imperial physician lowered his eyes. "Your Majesty, you have been far from a wise ruler."
As consciousness slipped away, you watched his hands tremble as he prepared your medicine. So be it...
The third time, it was because he had grown too lax...
The fourth time, he lost control of the court...
The fifth time...
After going through too many cycles, Wen Qingli grew increasingly exhausted and anxious. Fortunately, with every rebirth, he returned to a later point in time, until he opened his eyes once more and found himself as a child, sitting on his father's knee...
