Another World

[Scheming, sickly bottom x loyal top with a get-stronger-as-he-grows-up arc] Blurb: In the sixteenth year of Yongshen, a coup broke out in the imperial palace. As the former emperor lay dying, he entrusted the ninth prince to the young General Lu Yuanting, who was only fourteen. The two were hunted by the rebels as they fled south. They barely survived a brush with death in a poison den, and Lu Yuanting was gravely wounded. Everyone thought he wouldn't live much longer. To protect the former emperor's orphaned son, they changed their names from then on. Ye Yin: "Ninth Prince, both our old identities are dead. From today on, I'll go by Ye Yin. I'll call you Chang'an, and I hope your life will be long, peaceful, and safe." And so he began raising a child. But this child worried about everything and acted like a little grown-up, constantly urging him to take his medicine. So who was raising whom? Ye Yin knew the poison could take his life at any moment, but before he died, he had to take the ninth prince back to Qingdu. "My father was in that vast sea of flames. Beneath the scorched earth lie the countless soldiers who swore to defend the capital, along with the innocent people caught in the disaster. This blood feud must be avenged in this life."
