In the fourth year of Tianjing, the regent, whose power held sway over the entire court, joined forces with the Southern Kingdom's cavalry to storm the palace gates of Jiang. The seventeen-year-old emperor of Jiang was cut down in a flurry of blades, and from then on the country's name was changed to Nan.
Ten months later, Fu Lin, a general of the former dynasty, sparked another war under the banner of destroying Nan and restoring Jiang. In just three months, he brought down the Southern Kingdom.
After ascending the throne, Fu Lin declared with tears in his eyes that he missed the late king. He changed the country's name back to Jiang and restored the Tianjing era name.
The people hailed him as a wise ruler, and the land was united under one rule.
But was that really the truth?
Chu Yuzhen, floating around Fu Lin as a spirit, watched the whole time as Fu Lin went mad in front of his portrait, even drawing... unspeakable pictures...
This was a flagrant violation of human decency!
But seeing Fu Lin grow ever more deranged, Chu Yuzhen's heart softened. Yet the instant he embraced Fu Lin, his vision filled with stars.
When he came to, someone was calling him Your Majesty.
Had everything before this just been a dream?
It was now the first year of Tianjing. He had just been placed on the throne, and the regent had yet to collude with the Southern Kingdom. He still had a chance to survive.
He immediately sent people to find Fu Lin.
But what he hadn't expected was that the all-powerful Fu Lin from his previous life was now a young guard who wasn't even as tall as he was.
After hesitating for a moment, Chu Yuzhen crouched in front of Fu Lin and said, “I want you to become the sharpest blade in my hand.”
Fu Lin, kneeling on the ground, abruptly looked up and said, “I will become the sharpest blade in Your Majesty's hand, and I will also be Your Majesty's most useful thing.”
At first, Chu Yuzhen didn't understand what Fu Lin meant. Only when he was unable to move did he belatedly understand what it meant to be the most useful.
Everyone said Fu Lin was nothing more than the dog at His Majesty's side that bit the hardest. But he knew that if he weren't ruthless, how could he protect him?
Even if he were only a blade, he would still clear the court of all His Majesty's enemies.
