Aspiring to Lingxiao

At the foot of Lingxiao Mountain, all kingdoms stand side by side, and the Great Yong Chaotang has long been a bloody hunting ground for princes to compete for the heir apparent. Qin Dian was the most disliked marginal prince in the palace. He was born with destiny and was a lonely star. He was looked down upon with cold eyes. In the competition for imperial power, he was despised by everyone even for his qualifications to be a pawn. Unwilling to sink, he lurked deep in the palace to hide his sharpness, and made cold-eyed plans to stir up the situation: he used the external forces of the enemy country Nanchu to check and balance the conservative faction in the court, and provoked internal strife among the princes. He allowed brothers to kill each other, bloodshed in the court and the public, and allowed blood to flow into rivers and corpses to litter the fields inside and outside the imperial city, just to find a chance to seize power in the chaos. He walked through mountains of corpses and seas of blood, and reached the top of the Ninth Five-Year Plan in the desperate situation of a subjugated country. No one knows his forbearance and ruthlessness along the way. They only know that from then on, Dayong changed hands and took charge of thousands of miles of mountains and rivers.
