In less than a month, the capital city was captured.

After assisting the third prince in ascending the throne, the male protagonist fought for him in battles across the country and became a fierce general.

The third prince initially relied on him, then became wary of him, and later secretly hired people to kill him.

Unfortunately, the male lead was a cut above the rest.

He had long been secretly winning people's hearts and minds, plotting for his own benefit.

When the Third Prince took action, he effortlessly dispelled the new emperor's prestige, which had not been built up for very long.

He even killed the meritorious officials who shielded him from arrows, fought for him on the battlefield, and even sacrificed their wives. Who would dare to wholeheartedly fight for him to build his empire?

Later, the male protagonist finally succumbed to public expectations and ascended the throne.

After he ascended the throne, he was good at recognizing and utilizing people. He placed all his former friends in appropriate positions, and each of them became an important minister.

In just ten years, he quelled the chaos and ushered in a golden age, making him a true hero of his time.

As for the female lead, she is the original owner's younger sister.

At the time, it was common knowledge that the male protagonist abandoned his wife in the capital and neglected her in his pursuit of great ambitions. If he wanted to gain support, he had to clear his name of this stain.

The male protagonist made a thorough plan for this.

He shifted all the blame onto the deceased third prince.

It was the Third Prince's eagerness for quick success that led him to set a trap and lure the male protagonist in.

By the time the male protagonist realized what was happening, it was too late for regrets.

Upon learning of his wife's death, the protagonist wept three times and swore before his generals that he would kill the emperor to avenge his wife.

Later, covered in blood, he stormed into the capital and, as expected, personally beheaded the emperor to offer a sacrifice to his wife's spirit.

To express his remembrance of his wife, the male protagonist remarried her younger sister and vigorously supported the Jiang family.
