The Chronicle of an Imperial Empire

Liu Chengye, who grew up in the palace's secluded women's quarters, was separated from his mother one night after Emperor Qianping Liu Zhian of the Great Sheng Empire passed away. That was when he learned that he was a prince of Great Sheng, and its only prince.

But he didn't care about any of that. His mother was his only family, and all he wanted was to find her! When he learned that he had to sit on the imperial throne to stay alive, and that he also had to sit on it to find his mother, he seemed to shed his childishness overnight and grow composed.

Claim the throne and find his mother! That was his first dream, and his only dream! At some point, the realm and its people became a responsibility he could no longer abandon.

In an age of great upheaval, the brave reign supreme. Are kings, nobles, generals, and ministers born to their stations?

“So what if I was born in the palace's secluded quarters? Just watch and see whose realm this will be!”
