The Nine Princes of the Liang Dynasty

[Historical · Drama · Politics]

A king is one to whom the world turns. A ruler is one who can unite the masses.

One who inherits heaven's mandate above and comforts the common people below, changing the old and creating the new to remake heaven and earth—that is a sovereign.

Because of a poisoning, the modern soul Su Chengjin falls into the vortex of a struggle for succession full of shifting schemes and hidden currents, becoming a weak prince whom everyone can bully. Facing the private breaking off of an engagement by an overbearing county princess, and the schemes of his brothers and siblings, he can only rise from desperation.

This gamble leaves him no retreat.

He brews strong liquor to gather wealth, uses new-style military equipment blueprints to win over capable ministers and fierce generals; he employs a "praise-to-kill" poisonous scheme to lure the enemy's main force, and sets a "chain trap" to toy with the crown prince and powerful clans at his fingertips. From the capital of Liangfang to the northern frontier fortress, from barely surviving to carving out land and claiming kingship, he uses the wisdom of a thousand years later to forge an invincible army loyal only to himself atop the bones of barbarians and the wails of aristocratic clans.

When the conflict between imperial power and aristocratic clans becomes irreconcilable, when the blood-soaked war between the Central Plains and the barbarians flares up again.

He knows that being merely a King of Anbei is far from enough.

This world should live a different way.
