The Dakang Dynasty's emperor, at ninety-six, still ruled with vigor—until the night he suffered a stroke.
Zhao Letian, a modern soul thrust into the body of the nineteenth prince, witnesses the downfall of his father, the emperor. Power, danger, and destiny collide as a mystical wheel of fate forces him to make an impossible choice:
Save the emperor and seize hidden opportunities.
Stand by and face a lifetime of obscurity.
Kill the emperor, usurp the throne, and die a traitor’s death.
With no room for error, Zhao Letian takes the first step on a perilous journey from a powerless prince to a rising force of destiny. Martial arts mastery, cunning politics, and treacherous enemies await at every turn.
But the path of the son of destiny is never simple. The closer Zhao Letian gets to power, the deeper he’s dragged into a storm of conspiracies threatening to destroy the empire—and him along with it.
When the line between loyalty and ambition blurs, will Zhao Letian rewrite history or become another forgotten name in the annals of time?
