Tales of Lingyun

A poor boy who refuses to live an ordinary life dreams of rising above the common lot and becoming someone important.

Through the twists of fate, he becomes the frail, sickly scion of the imperial family.

But the deadly struggle for power at the top makes family bonds seem utterly cold and distant.

After countless rises and falls, he finally claims the throne, both cold and burning beneath him.

When at last he sits at the very top, he comes to his senses: for the sake of supreme power, he will be bound for the rest of his life.
