In his previous life, Li Ci was a hostage prince from an enemy country. Caught up in the struggle over the imperial succession, he ended up pierced through by ten thousand arrows.

Having lived again, he decides to put away every sharp edge, pretend to be ill and foolish, grow vegetables and raise chickens in the cold palace, and only hopes to survive until the day the two countries make peace and he can safely return home.

On a dark, windy night, while he was squatting in a corner gnawing on a sweet potato, a black-clad man covered in blood crashed into his vegetable patch.

He wanted to pretend he was blind, but the knife in that man’s hand was already at his throat.

With tears in his eyes, Li Ci stuffed the remaining half of the sweet potato into the other man’s mouth. “Big brother, eat your fill before you go on your way. Can you not kill me?”

He thought he had only saved a down-and-out assassin, but the next day, the newly enthroned tyrant Yin Xiao, notorious for his cruelty, walked into the cold palace, stepping over a floor covered in blood.

Yin Xiao lifted his chin, his gaze dark and feverish. “So it was you, who used half a stale sweet potato to send me away?”

Li Ci’s vision went dark: it was over. There was no way he could keep surviving now.
