After Southern Forest’s defeat in battle, they were forced to cede territory and offer tribute. Among the tribute was the Sixth Prince, who had been frail and sickly since childhood.

Rumor had it that the Monarch of Northern Foothills was a cruel and capricious tyrant, cold-blooded and ruthless. He had ascended the throne by trampling on the flesh and blood of his own kin, a complete madman.

Everyone believed the Sixth Prince wouldn’t survive long.

For nineteen years, Zhou Song had never seen snow so heavy. He entered the palace carrying the chill of the storm, only to stumble upon a scene of carnage: a minister’s throat slashed by a sword, blood splattering across the floor.

The dead minister was dragged away from him. Zhou Song suppressed his nausea and knelt in the blood to perform a complete ritual bow.

The cold blade, mingled with the stench of blood, pressed against his chin. Zhou Song could only slowly raise his head, yielding to the man before him’s scrutiny.

“Not afraid?”

Zhou Song lowered his eyes. “I am.”

“Afraid to look at This Emperor?”

Zhou Song had no choice but to meet the man’s gaze.

He saw only a smile, blood staining his cheek like a demon from hell.

In a daze, he heard the man say, “Look at you—your face is as white as a sheet.”

The palace staff had assumed that with the Tyrant’s temperament, the Prince of the enemy nation wouldn’t last long before being tormented to death.

But no one expected the Prince to not only survive but to become even more pampered.

The palace attendants witnessed the Beauty, nestled in the man’s arms during a meal, deliberately knock over his medicine bowl. They trembled, prostrate on the floor, fearing for their lives.

To their astonishment, the man showed no displeasure. Instead, he murmured soothingly, “Last night was This Emperor’s fault. Now, be a good boy and drink your medicine, hmm?”

The staff were terrified. Was another master about to join the palace?!
