[Both leads are reborn]
Jin Sui died.
He ascended the throne at sixteen and spent four years as a puppet emperor. Just as he was finally about to take power, his own empress dowager confined him in the palace until he died.
The last thing he saw before dying was General Chen Nian, who guarded the border, kicking down the palace gates with his sword in hand and troops at his back.
So the treacherous rebel had finally risen up against him!
When he woke up...
Good news: He was reborn.
Bad news: That damned rebel had returned to court early.
Even worse news: The bastard was pretty hard to kill.
The moment the court officials opened their eyes, they realized His Majesty had gone mad.
One moment: He showed up at court with a sword and attacked everyone in sight.
The next: He ordered the renowned general to enter the palace and stand guard for him.
As His Majesty's bloodlust grew stronger by the day, the ministers' meetings after court turned into discussions on "One thousand and one possible sites for the general's tomb."
Yet even after His Majesty had picked off everyone in the former court and the imperial harem, the general, who seemed the most likely to die young, was still standing before the throne, breathing.
The ministers fell silent, then asked the same question over and over: Is the general still alive today?
Answer: He's alive. It's just that His Majesty kept the red candles burning in his bedchamber last night, leaving the living as good as dead, and ordered court suspended for three days.
