Six years ago, the entire Shen family was executed.
Shen Liangyu was the only one to survive. He had no power or influence, only a pretty face.
After much thought, he came up with a very simple plan:
First, bribe the master of the Leng Yue Sect so he can become the most beautiful person in the realm, fit to marry the emperor.
Second, make the emperor fall in love with him and have him uncover the truth behind what happened all those years ago.
Third, twist the emperor's head off.
Unfortunately, ideals are beautiful, but reality is harsh.
On the first day after leaving the Western Regions, where he had hidden for six years,
Shen Liangyu took a wrong turn and stumbled into a crooked gambling house.
Not only did he lose all his travel money, he also offended a striking man dressed in black.
Shen Liangyu: "Let me go. Once I become the most beautiful person in the realm, I'll make His Majesty appoint you Chief Eunuch!"
The man in black: "If you can make me emperor, I'll let you go."
Only later did he learn that the man was none other than the master of the Leng Yue Sect,
as well as the Third Prince Zhu Jin, who had been banished from the palace.
Shen Liangyu: "You're already the master of the Leng Yue Sect. Why do you still want to be emperor?"
Zhu Jin: "You're so beautiful. Why do you still want to be the most beautiful person in the realm?"
Later, Zhu Jin said, "Why not consider me?"
"I have always been tender and protective toward beauties."
Shen Liangyu gave it some serious thought.
Waiting with the Third Prince for the old emperor to die, then becoming a consort and clearing his family's name, didn't sound impossible.
