Li Liuyun was the emperor's eldest legitimate son, the most pampered and precious crown prince. Blessed with extraordinary talent, immaculate in appearance, he was revered and worshipped by the people.
That was before he was deposed.
Afterward, he was nothing but a stray dog, hunted by everyone. He even had to fight wild dogs over a piece of steamed bread.
Until he met that silver serpent spear and the young man who wielded it.
He secretly followed the young man, watching him drink, watching him fight, watching him... die.
Only when the young man was covered in blood and barely clinging to life did he have the courage to run out of the bushes.
The young man's eyes flashed with surprise. He struggled to reach out to him. "Come here."
"Don't be afraid. You must be tired from running." He smiled weakly, then pulled a long-cold steamed bun from his arms. "I've wanted to give it to you all this time, but I was afraid you'd run away again if I called out to you."
Li Liuyun took the bun and warmed it against his chest, but the person before him slowly grew cold.
In the present-day Kingdom of Chen, if you swung a stick at a crowd, nine out of ten people you hit would be loyal followers of the Prince of Zhenbei.
Everyone knew that the Prince of Zhenbei was a young hero, whose silver serpent spear struck fear into the enemy.
Everyone knew that without the Prince of Zhenbei, the peace they now enjoyed would never have come to pass.
But no one knew that the famed Prince of Zhenbei was a woman.
And no one knew that the Prince of Zhenbei, hailed as a god of war, would one day die quietly in an obscure village.
And he had spied on her from the cracks of his own baseness, watching her rise, watching her fall.
From that day on, he would search the whole world, through every means, to bring her back reborn.
The land stretches wide, the rivers and mountains vast, the stars scattered across the mortal world.
For you, I would die tens of thousands of times.
