The Empire Is Weakening, What Does That Have to Do With the Sinners in My Demon-Suppression Prison?

Eight years ago, Su Bai transmigrated into a world in chaos. He accidentally rescued Princess Wei Yanxue, and from then on embarked on a career in government. He guarded the borders, expanded the realm, and brought order to the government. After Emperor Wei died, the 300,000-strong Yanling Army besieged the capital. Half the court’s officials climbed the walls and shouted for war. Su Bai put Wei Yanxue on the throne, restoring Great Wei to its former glory. But Su Bai’s immense achievements made him a thorn in the empress’s side. She took his tiger tally, stripped him of his official rank, and demoted him again and again! He had countless chances to rebel, and the Yanling Army was even willing to follow him to the death, but Su Bai never once agreed. Because back when the land was ravaged by war, the two of them had shared a snowfall and vowed, “We’ll grow old together.” Su Bai waited, only to hear: “Throw him in prison!” The Demon-Suppressing Prison had 108 levels. Su Bai had built it with his own hands, and the first 107 levels were all filled with great demons. … The Yanling Army’s former soldiers surrounded the capital and were slaughtered! Former court officials pleaded for mercy and were executed! The people took to the streets in a furious protest and were crushed! But after Great Wei lost Su Bai for good, corrupt officials ran rampant, and countless others occupied high posts while doing nothing. At the border, 800,000 enemy troops stood ready. Other kingdoms saw Great Wei as easy prey and rushed to take a bite. As Wei Yanxue watched Great Wei teeter on the brink of collapse, she remembered Su Bai, who had once subdued six kingdoms by force and commanded the court through sheer authority. So Wei Yanxue begged him desperately, “Su Bai, I regret it. I’m willing to grow old together with you. Will you come back?” Su Bai shook his head with a bitter laugh and answered firmly, “Of course I’ll come back. I’ll fight my way back!”
