He once stood before the throne hall in a bright brocade robe,
He once rode into battle, splendidly dressed and astride a fine horse.
In the end, these beautiful lands became a battlefield of slaughter.
Deep within Yaohua Palace, who remembers the red fragrance among the white bones?
The Qing Crown Prince Aisin Gioro Yinreng was bright and studious from childhood, accomplished in both letters and arms. He stood in for the emperor at sacrifices and governed in his stead, earning a fine reputation. But after becoming embroiled in factional strife, he was installed and deposed twice, and ultimately died in confinement within the palace.
Born the beloved darling of heaven, he nevertheless endured a life of hardship, bearing the infamous name of "cruel and capricious" until he died in dejection deep within the palace.
If reborn, freed from the heavy burden of ruling an empire and the bloodshed and darkness trapped behind palace walls, what kind of remarkable life will he live as the Dark Lord?
