Crown Prince Gu Zheng, who devoted himself to building his nation, made a pact with the devil in exchange for a century of peace and prosperity for Yue.
In the first year, rebel factions sprang up everywhere, and King Chuping Zhao of Qingle used bloody methods to help Gu Zheng take the throne. That year, Gu Zheng unexpectedly lost his sense of taste.
In the second year, a plague broke out in a remote border city. Chuping Zhao volunteered to go there and eradicate it. That year, Gu Zheng unexpectedly lost his sense of smell.
Gu Zheng had always thought Chuping Zhao was his guiding star. Even as he gradually grew violent under the fear and torment of losing his five senses day after day, becoming a tyrant feared by all, whenever Gu Zheng looked back, Chuping Zhao was always watching him tenderly, supporting him and keeping him company.
He gave Chuping Zhao supreme honors, bestowed a fortune upon him, served him rare delicacies, and made him regent, The Outcast, second only to the emperor and above all others. He had always believed they would go on supporting each other forever.
Until he discovered that Chuping Zhao was the devil who had made the pact with him.
