Exiled Prince, Officials Beg Him to Ascend

Once framed, Prince Chu Ci was exiled to the harsh northern frontier for years. Saved and accompanied by the martial arts heroine Cang Hai, he forged his spirit and strategy in the depths of despair. A sudden upheaval in the capital saw the crown prince murder his father and bloodily purge the court, plunging the world into chaos. Three generations of elders died to make their stance clear, leaving a blood-stained scroll declaring only Chu Ci could save the nation. As eight thousand armored troops escorted Chu Ci back to the capital, officials filled the streets outside the Xuanwu Gate, kneeling with the imperial seal to beg him to ascend the throne. Facing the new emperor's shouts and threats from the city wall, Chu Ci and Cang Hai swept away the internal turmoil and restored order with thunderous measures. In the unanimous expectation of the people, he ascended the throne and opened a new era of prosperity.
