My Bones, the Blade

Shen Zhexue is the youngest prime minister in the dynasty, and the "benefactor" who raised the destitute prince Xiao Lie. He taught Xiao Lie to read and write, taught him political schemes and calculations, and personally sent him to the blood-soaked battlefield, all to hone him into the sharpest blade.

Everyone thought Xiao Lie was Prime Minister Shen's most obedient dog, with the leash forever in the prime minister's hand.

Until three years later, the Prince of Zhenbei returned to the capital after a great victory.

At the victory banquet, the man pinned him behind the side hall's door in front of everyone, bit through his earlobe, and rasped, "Uncle, the leash is broken."

Shen Zhexue thought he could control everything, but he forgot:

A blade that is too sharp will eventually cut the hand that wields it.

Theme: In the struggle between power and desire, seeking the true meaning of love and freedom.
