After transmigrating to ancient times, Wu Liang had hoped to live quietly as a wealthy young master.
But his father and elder brother were murdered, and his family fortune was seized.
Well, there was no helping it. He would go to the capital.
File a petition with the emperor?
No, better to assassinate the empress and try for a fun little game of wiping out the nine familial clans.
Wu Liang said, "Wait, you can wipe out my nine clans, but spare my life. I have a plan to help Great Liang emerge from darkness and shine again."
And so the Wu family vanished, the treacherous chancellor fell, the grand preceptor retired, the great general was defeated, the enemy kingdom surrendered, and the empress threw herself at him.
The Chancellor said, "You wretch, what a vicious conspiracy."
The Grand Preceptor said, "You treacherous villain, such a ruthless scheme is no way for a gentleman to behave."
The Great General said, "Ah! Old man, I'll fight you to the death."
The Empress said, "You lecher! I never expected that your ultimate target was me!"
