General Qin Zheng brings back the body of Xie Xiliu, a 3S-level wanted criminal, from the battlefield, and the three major star systems erupt in celebration.
Compared with Xie Xiliu, who betrayed the Empire, the other "item" the general has brought back is clearly far more intriguing.
It is a flower-like young man, standing beside the general and smiling innocently at everyone, with no idea what fate awaits a beautiful captive on Central Star.
Yet the general takes the beauty straight home, gives him the finest room and the most delicious food...
The little captive from a savage planet is to be raised by the general into the most elegant, haughty aristocrat.

Qin Xing has lost his memory. Even his name was given to him by the general who took him in.
The general says Qin Xing's greatest interest is self-cultivation.
But Qin Xing thinks overthrowing the Empire is clearly more fun...
The general must have been lying to him.
After all, the man seems to be one thing in public and another in private.
He is rumored to be utterly loyal to the Empire, yet secretly keeps a whole room full of the belongings of the Empire's most wanted criminal, Xie Xiliu, and treasures them so much that no one is allowed to touch them.
He forbids Qin Xing from talking about killing and demands that he be a kind, well-behaved boy, while he himself slaughters his way across the battlefield.
Late one night, Qin Xing saunters into the emperor's bedchamber, bringing the Empire one final grand gift.
As he watches His Majesty tremble and beg for mercy beneath the cold point of a blade, his dignity gone, Qin Xing imagines the rotten Empire descending into utter chaos starting the next morning. The pleasure in his heart is about to reach its peak.
A collar suddenly snaps around his neck.
The general, who should be attending a military conference in a distant star system, appears before him. As he does every morning before leaving, his cold fingertips brush Qin Xing's cheek. His expression is stern and helpless. "Xie Xiliu, it seems that even losing your memory hasn't taught you to behave."
Qin Xing: So I've always been this awesome?
