Chu Yuchen opens his eyes reborn as Xiao Tianyi, the eldest prince of the Yan Kingdom. But Yan has lost the war, and Xia demands that the eldest prince be sent as a hostage as a condition for peace. Just as Xiao Tianyi despairs at the injustice of fate, the System appears and gives him a helping hand, offering him hope. He will return to Great Xia, kill his enemies with his own hands, and unite the world! After arriving in Xia, Xiao Tianyi is subjected to every kind of humiliation. To disgrace him and the Yan royal family, the emperor and Grand Princess force him to take Biyu, the star courtesan of Yihong House, as his consort.

He establishes the intelligence network Windtrace Tower in secret, gradually claiming half the world of the martial arts community and the imperial court in Great Xia.

Her father died unjustly, and the emperor had her entire family executed. What’s more, she shares the very same goal as Xiao Tianyi! This corrupt royal family and court are overdue for a change of regime. With the System’s support, Xiao Tianyi joins forces with Biyu and utterly defeats the Xia royal family. Together, they ascend to the highest throne...
