Let the Moonlight Rest, Without War

Royal Guard (urgently): Your Highness, this is terrible! Hao has already taken several of our nation’s key strongholds in a row, and is closing in on the capital!!!

He jolts awake from a life of wine and women, then rushes from place to place seeking help.

>>> And so, Great Rui limps on in peace.

Emperor Zhaoren (grief-stricken, speaking earnestly): Fourteenth Brother, our country is beset by internal and external troubles, and the court is in turmoil. You’re the only one who can help me now!

He (solemn and aggrieved): But... Imperial Brother, I don’t know anything about this.

Emperor Zhaoren (instantly relieved): No problem, no problem. (As if by magic, he pulls a thick stack of papers from behind his back and shoves them into his arms.) Memorize all this tonight. Tomorrow, just read it out at court.

Him: ...Could I please not...?

Emperor Zhaoren (staring at him intently)

Him: ...All right. TAT.

>>> And so, an agreement is reached in the capital.

Emperor Zhaoren: The princess will marry into another country. A prince must accompany her on the mission. Does anyone have a suggestion?

Prince Chu: Your Majesty, I have someone I can recommend.

Emperor Zhaoren: Go ahead.

Prince Chu: I believe Fourteenth Brother would be perfect for the task.

Him: ...

>>> Is this some kind of joke? He’s just a carefree prince who has no ambition, no grand plans, and is content to stay in his own corner, with nothing whatsoever to do with power. He has neither the time nor the energy to deal with matters of state or the fate of the realm. Please, just leave him alone, please! TAT!!!

Luo Jinge (carrying a purple-gold spear): Su Jinsu, you stop right there!

He (bolts away without looking back, and in the blink of an eye, he’s vanished into the distance)

>>>>> As the saying goes: If you want to see a fool grow up, send him to the moon without a spear. Come see the fool prince’s journey of growth, brimming with positive energy and filled with responsibility, conspiracies, revelations, fierce power struggles, turbulent twists, and all kinds of tangled love and hate.

>>>>> For the time being, I’ll do my best to update daily.
