Everyone in the court of Great Liang knows that the Crown Prince bears the fate of the nation. Chosen by Heaven, he is a mortal body unable to bear the weight of such great fortune.
Ever since the day he was born, one serious illness after another has plagued him, leaving him no peace.
The whole court is in turmoil.
The current king murdered his father to seize the throne and suffers from madness. On the day he was crowned, he slaughtered thousands of miles of people.
He fears neither Heaven nor earth and honors no gods. Yet now he kneels before the Buddha every day, begging that his sins not diminish his child's fortune.
The people light longevity lamps for the Crown Prince. Their flames stretch for thousands of miles. Everyone hopes he will grow up safely and bring an end to the chaos.

Lin Qi was once the youngest rabbit demon in his clan.
With no father or mother, he was only the size of a palm, yet he beat every creature in the forest. His greatest wish was to attain immortality!
Immortals could do anything, so then he'd be able to find his lost parents!
The immortal System he was bound to said that if he rewrote the tyrant's fate and saved the dynasty from collapse, he could gather enough fortune to ascend to immortality. But the moment he saw the tyrant, he thought:
"Huh? Why does he look so much like me? Could he be the father I've never met?!"
But fate rolls onward like a wheel, and no matter how hard Lin Qi tries, the catalyst that will plunge the world into chaos, the Sacrificial Heaven Ceremony, still arrives as promised.
Public resentment boils over, and rebels seize the chance to assassinate the king. Lin Qi fails his mission and faces death. In his final moment, he takes human form and embraces the father he has claimed for himself, taking a fatal arrow meant for the tyrant before vanishing completely.
A sudden light shines from the heavens. Beneath the altar, the people see their king surrounded by auspicious clouds as a speck of golden light slips into his belly.
Several months later, the king personally gives birth to the Crown Prince.

System 007 pulls the wool over everyone's eyes and switches things around...
Damn it! The mission failed, and Headquarters is going to erase its cub? Not a chance!
It immediately cuts off contact with Headquarters.
Don't be afraid, little one. By the time you're born, your two demon king protectors will be ready!
