When faced with a rival with both powerful connections and ability, retreating from the battlefield may be the wisest choice.
Throughout history, there has only ever been one throne, but many princes. Whoever ultimately ascends the throne has always had to trample over the blood and flesh of his brothers to get there.
Faced with the allure of power, Jiang Yifeng must not be tempted. He has no right to be.
His greatest dream is to eat, drink, and take care of his bodily needs in peace, while doing the things he enjoys. With his noble status, he hopes to wait until one of the princes of his generation takes the throne, the danger passes, and he can enjoy a life of wealth and comfort.
But life is full of surprises. If someone gets hurt, will you save them? If your brothers oppress the common people right before your eyes, will you intervene?
Avoiding the problem won't solve it in the end.
With no powerful connections, the common people can be your backing.
With no allies, your followers will be your most capable helpers.
From standing alone to earning the admiration of thousands, Jiang Yifeng's path is unwavering yet difficult.
