Li Xu transmigrated to the Great Liang dynasty as an illegitimate son, unloved by both parents, and was expected to become a live-in son-in-law.
In a fit of rage, he cut ties with the Li family, passed the provincial and palace examinations, and rose like a force of nature to become the youngest and most ruthless Grand Secretary in the dynasty.
His parents, exiled from the capital: Son, your father was wrong. Please, let me come back.
Countless scholars: The world’s talent adds up to ten bushels, and Li Xu alone claims nine and a half.
The eternal empress of Great Liang: Whoever wins Li Xu wins the world. Minister Li, come to my bedchamber tonight so we can discuss matters of state.
The many foreign tribes: Damn, he’s ruthless. He wipes out entire clans at the slightest provocation... Stop, stop! We’re all Great Liang’s most loyal subjects!
