The male protagonist knew about the legend, but he also scoffed at it.
The entire empire was very wary of this, so the protagonist had no choice but to spare his life temporarily and let him deal with the old emperor's affairs.
He then continued to build up his forces and plot against the black wizard.
The male protagonist only wanted revenge, so he first killed the guard who caused his sister's tragic death. As for the throne, he wanted it too much, so the black wizard brainwashed him.
Okay, the male protagonist has no choice but to accept it, but he cannot ascend the throne in his own name yet. He needs to use the identity of the Holy Father's brother to secure his position.
The Holy Father's brother clearly knew this and felt that they had all wronged the protagonist, so he willingly offered himself up for death.
After a heartfelt conversation, the male protagonist mercilessly stabbed his younger brother, who felt sorry for his older brother even in his dying moments.
By the time the people from the temple returned, the male protagonist had already ascended the throne as emperor.
Jiang Zhixing plays the role of the Holy Son in the temple, who is above the Pope.
Next comes resolving the feud between the Temple and the Black Wizard. Under the Black Wizard's instigation, the male protagonist, now the emperor, begins to constantly target the Temple.
In just six months, half of the temple's people were lost.
The Pope personally came to meet the new emperor and immediately exposed his identity, but the male protagonist, who had already secured his throne, remained completely calm.
They even mocked him, saying he was old and senile, and advised him to quickly step down and give way to a more capable person.
The Pope was very disappointed in him. After returning home, he sent his son to test the people behind the new emperor. The more the son tested them, the darker his face became.
They discovered that the Black Wizard was the former Holy Son, but he had turned to the dark side and was abandoned because he went against the faith of the Temple.
The dark wizard's idea was to reclaim everything that belonged to him and fight the people of the temple to the death.
During this time, the new emperor encountered the heroine who had been sent by a neighboring country.
A budding romance unfolds between them. The new emperor takes the heroine to pluck stars and see the moon, and also takes her to the battlefield and to travel the world.
Just as the male protagonist was about to confess his feelings to the female protagonist, the struggle between darkness and light completely tore through the veil, and the entire empire waited anxiously for the day when the light would return.
After the male protagonist settled the female protagonist in, she stabbed him in the back the next second.
The male protagonist was incredulous and surprised when he heard the female protagonist say that she hated him and that her feelings for him were all fake.
It turns out she entered the palace in place of a princess from a neighboring country, her sole purpose being revenge, as her original country had been destroyed by the old emperor.
She had already cooperated with the temple, just waiting for this day.
The male protagonist originally had the ability to fight back, but he ultimately softened his heart.
The dark wizard appeared, was disappointed in him, but still took him away.
However, his purpose in taking him away was to use his blood to activate a forbidden magic array and destroy the entire empire.
This goal was ultimately destroyed by the Pope who arrived in time. Enraged, the black wizard committed suicide with the Pope. The male protagonist, dragging his broken body, fell from a precipice thousands of feet high, fulfilling the female protagonist's burning hatred.
The ending is that the female lead ascends the throne, abolishes the positions in the Holy Temple, but appoints the former Holy Son as the Grand Tutor to assist in governing.
Shen Linyue's last scene is when, with his bleeding body, he stumbles to the edge of a cliff, smiles bitterly in the direction of the female lead, and then collapses.
Yes, this family is a bit eccentric. The younger brother is a saint, the older brother is love-struck, and he even abandoned his twin brother because of a legend.
This drama also touted itself as a learning opportunity.
Shen Linyue, wearing a wire harness, fell from the cliff edge. She inadvertently glanced at the man sitting in the front row of the audience. Her eyes flickered and the corners of her mouth curled up slightly as she was led backstage by the lowered curtain.
He Xiao's scenes ended before hers, and he handed her the wet wipes he had prepared when she came out.
"Finally over. I'll never take this kind of job again." He Xiao crossed his arms and glanced at her lazily. "Are you satisfied now?"
Shen Linyue smiled, her eyes bright: "I just saw He Liyu, and he didn't back out."
He Xiao pursed his lips and scoffed, "You're too easily satisfied."
"Um, there's a class reunion tonight, wanna go?" Shen Linyue changed the subject.
He Xiao was already used to her eccentricities, and said calmly, "I'm not going. If you want to go, go by yourself."
Shen Linyue breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile, "I don't want to go either. Tonight, our family... will get together."
She almost said it was a family of three.
He Xiao snorted lightly, and this time he did not refuse.
The performance on stage ended quickly, and everyone went up on stage to express their gratitude after the show.
Shen Linyue's gaze swept across the audience in the front row, past Jiang Yanxin, whose expression was indifferent and strange, and finally settled on He Liyu.
The man's gaze remained fixed on her the entire time, and a gentle smile curved his lips whenever she looked at him.
...
After the morning performance ended, people began to leave the auditorium.
Jiang Yanxin followed He Liyu, who was also heading backstage.
"President He." A smile appeared on her lips, and the gloomy aura disappeared from her body.
He Liyu didn't stop walking, turned his head and nodded indifferently: "President Jiang."
After saying goodbye, he was about to leave, but Jiang Yanxin had no intention of letting him off easily.
"My birthday is in the middle of this month, and I've invited Uncle Shen too. I hope you can grace us with your presence," Jiang Yan thought to herself.
Hearing the address "Uncle Shen," He Liyu stopped in his tracks, his expression turning cold. "What does President Jiang mean by this?"
Jiang Yanxin smiled sincerely and innocently: "It's rare for me to hold a birthday party, so of course I have to invite important relatives. After all, A-Yue is my best friend, and her father is also my father."
"By the way, that Lin Yue, Uncle Shen would be very happy to see her, wouldn't he?" She smiled slightly.
He Liyu's eyes darkened completely, and a cold light enveloped his entire body.
"Don't you have a father yourself? Do you think I don't know what you're thinking? Jiang Yanxin, are you satisfied with the few bids the Jiang family has lost recently?" He curled his lips, but the smile didn't reach his eyes.
Upon hearing the last sentence, Jiang Yanxin could no longer maintain her smile, and her eyes were filled with suppressed anger.
"So it was you! You're targeting the Jiang family because of Lin Yue?"
He Liyu curled his lips in mockery: "Do you think I don't know what you've done? Don't even think about Lin Yue, and don't forget about your son."
He lowered his eyes and stared at her intently, which chilled Jiang Yanxin to the bone, as if nothing could escape his gaze.
"I...I don't understand what you're saying," Jiang Yanxin said reluctantly.
He Liyu stopped wasting his breath and walked away, bypassing her.
Jiang Yanxin watched his tall figure disappear, and a chill inexplicably ran down her spine.
"mom."
Jiang Zhixing appeared not far away at some point. His voice was faint and his expression was unclear, but he pulled Jiang Yanxin back to her senses.
...
Shen Linyue and He Xiao removed their makeup, changed back into their own clothes, and dismissed the crowd that came to ask for their WeChat accounts. They then waited for He Liyu at the exit.
"Are you so eager to see him?" He Xiao asked, a hint of jealousy in his voice.
Shen Linyue was stunned, then looked up at him and smiled: "I want to know what kind of wrap party he prepared for us."
He Xiao: ...Foodie, speechless.
