Tales of Lingyun

A poor young man who refuses to settle for an ordinary life dreams of rising above mediocrity and becoming a man of distinction.

Through a twist of fate, he becomes the frail, sickly heir to the imperial throne.

But in the deadly struggle for power at the highest level, even family ties grow utterly cold and distant.

After falling and rising time and again, he finally claims the throne, both cold and burning with ambition.

One day, when he sits at the very top of the realm, he finally realizes that to gain supreme power, he has shackled himself for the rest of his life.
