hindsight is 20/20, right? If I'd known what was coming next, I never would've signed up for playing晋王. Now? Now I'm stuck in this mess of a rebellion, and guess who's the top dog? Not some fancy general or smart advisor, nope. It's me, Li You, the guy who swore off power and just wanted to sip tea and enjoy life.

The court isn't just about fancy clothes and polite speeches. It's a game of thrones, with people sniffing around like vultures. Right now, I'm staring at my reflection in the water—a young, arrogant man with a crown that feels heavier than it looks. I had no idea being a prince was going to be like this. I thought I'd be sipping wine on a balcony while the real players ran the show. Boy, was I wrong.

But hey, here I am, sitting on a throne that wasn't mine a week ago. It's got this ridiculous name—Emperor, the big cheese, the top dog. And I've got this responsibility that I never asked for. The first problem? The Turks. More like the Terrors, if you ask me.
