Song Yazheng
The most celebrated student at Tianxing Academy, he catches the emperor's eye during the palace examinations and is forcibly brought into the palace.
The emperor loves Song Yazheng deeply, neglecting his three thousand consorts for his sake. But Song Yazheng fails to appreciate it and tries to escape again and again. To keep him, the emperor can only break his hands and feet, blind him, and keep him chained up at all times.
The imperial consorts hate Song Yazheng to the bone for stealing their favor and taking their share of the emperor's affection despite being a man. The ministers of the court hate him just as much, calling him a bewitching beauty who brings ruin and a treacherous male favorite. Song Yazheng lies in the depths of the palace, his gaze cold and still, enduring the consorts' abuse and bearing the world's scorn as he counts the days he cannot move.
At last, the foolish emperor he has led astray is about to lose his kingdom because of him! Amid the endless din of battle, the army breaks through the capital and storms the palace. Emperor Xi, unable to accept being deposed, sets fire to six palace halls and dies in the flames with his beloved Song Yazheng in his arms.
When Song Yazheng opens his eyes again, he realizes he has returned to the moment Emperor Xi forced him into the palace. Only now, he has become Emperor Xi. A palace attendant reports, "Song Yazheng has gone mad. He's cursing the servants and claiming that he is the emperor."
"Is that so?" Song Yazheng smiles faintly and slowly raises his hands, confirming that Emperor Xi's limbs work just fine. Then he says softly, "Bring him here. I want to see."
