Once a dignified and noble Crown Prince, he became a pawn for a time, ruthless to the extreme. He thought he had escaped a palace poisoning, only to fall victim to an assassination attempt. He once went into hiding among the common folk under an assumed name. Whether it was a mysterious, masterful painter, a young physician living deep in the mountains, or a brilliant military strategist, he carefully crafted every persona and secretly set his plans in motion. He did everything in his power to control the schemes around him, inching closer to the throne in Huanzing. He wanted to reclaim everything that belonged to him, and make everyone who had wronged him pay.
If the blurb is hard to understand, it's about a former Crown Prince fighting to seize power and all the things he can't help getting up to with handsome men along the way
