Seizing the Loyal Emperor

In the twelfth year after transmigrating, Lu Jiubei traveled north to Yandu Chang'an to catch a glimpse of his ancestor, whose loyalty and righteousness had earned him a place in the history books.

During three centuries of turmoil between two dynasties, generals and ministers, princes and nobles all vied for power. Only King Yan Qin truly deserved to be called loyal and righteous., History of the Northern and Southern Dynasties

He honored the late emperor's trust, helping the young ruler secure his position at court; he marched north with a lone army, driving out the Hu invaders who had ravaged the Central Plains and saving a crumbling empire; he cared for the common people, giving up his grain supplies to flood victims at the ferry...

Yet his achievements made the young emperor suspicious. A bribed subordinate stabbed him in the back, and he was branded a traitor. In the end, protected by his remaining troops, he fled west across the Tian Shan.

After ten years of wandering, he established a new power in a foreign land and carried on his legacy. Lu Jiu was the head of the Hanover family in this generation.

His plan to remain a mere observer ended the moment he saw Xianyu Daige.

The man was tall and upright, with a heroic face, but his blue eyes, inherited from his Hu mother, marked him as an outsider and barred him from the orthodox line of succession.

Yet those were Lu Jiu's favorite features.

Everything about Xianyu Daige perfectly matched Lu Jiu's tastes, stirring this lurking viper to harbor treasonous thoughts.

He wanted to tear open Daige's silver armor and see whether his light brown skin continued beneath his clothes, measure his broad shoulders, and compare them inch by inch with his lean waist...

He wanted him, and wanted to possess him completely!

Lu Jiu used the young emperor's head to put Xianyu Daige on the throne, then invited him to kiss on the imperial seat. He used Shu's vast fertile lands and fine grain to force the emperor to give himself to him. And he offered a unified empire and the grand promise of a legacy that would last for generations in exchange for Daige bearing him an heir, with both emperors ruling together!
