I am the Southern Qing Divine Lord of the Nine Heavens, my true form is a dragon.
Everyone says that the tribulation of love is hard to overcome, whether you are a god or a human. I don't believe it, so I made a bet with Emperor Xuanling that if I could overcome the tribulation of love, he would give me the Crimson Sky Sword.
And so, I was born into an imperial family. In this treacherous and scheming family, I was not happy, which shaped my peculiar personality.
But before I was ten years old, my life was happy and joyful because I had a loving mother and father. My father was the ruler of a country. He had many wives, but he doted on my mother alone.
My mother was gentle and noble, and everyone around her liked her, except for that woman.
I will never forget the New Year's Eve when I was ten years old. As in previous years, I waited in my palace for my mother to take me to see the fireworks. I loved fireworks because they were so dazzling.
That night, I waited until dawn, but my mother still didn't come to take me. I was very angry, angry that my mother must have gone to see the fireworks and left me behind.
Just as I was getting angry and about to confront my mother, Xiao Li, who had been serving me, rushed in in a panic. He told me that my mother was dead, forced to death by the Empress!
I hate it, I hate that my father failed to protect my mother, I hate the empress, I hate everyone...
I didn't cry when my mother died. At that time, I didn't know what the future held, but I only had one thought: I would make the Empress pay for her crimes in blood.
Not long after my mother died, the Empress became pregnant. I vowed that I would definitely avenge her.
So, when she was six months pregnant, I kicked her down the steps, causing her to bleed to death.
The Empress is dead, but the hatred in my heart has not subsided. I even considered killing her son as well...
Because of this, my father beat me severely and locked me in a temple to repent. I was in this state of repentance for two years until my father fell seriously ill, at which point I was brought back to the palace to care for him.
My elder brother dislikes me because I killed his mother. He sees me as a thorn in his side and wants to get rid of me after our father's death. How could our father not see through my brother's intentions? Before he passed away, he entrusted me to his most trusted minister and left a will to ensure my safety.
When I was nineteen, my elder brother, in order to get rid of me, did not hesitate to provoke a conflict between Jingzhao Kingdom and its neighboring kingdoms and sent me to quell it. He thought I would die as a result of his scheme.
Yes, I almost died at his hands. In that battle, Jingzhao won a great victory, and all the soldiers returned in triumph, but I was the only one who was seriously injured and fell off a cliff, with no one caring for me.
I lived in the village at the foot of the cliff for two years, thinking I had let go of my hatred. But then, my brother dragged my mother's remains from her mausoleum and threw them into a mass grave. At that moment, my hatred for him was endless.
I'm going to take everything from him, I'm going to kill him.
Who wouldn't be shocked when a prince who disappeared on the battlefield two years later suddenly returned? No one knows how I got through those two years, nor does anyone know what I learned during those two years.
Upon returning to Chang'an, I became, in everyone's eyes, a prince who only knew how to indulge in pleasure and lived a life of extravagance and debauchery. Despite this, my imperial brother did not lower his guard against me.
Although I am surrounded by beautiful women and fine wine every day, and the world thinks I am a lecher, that is not the case. I have no interest in women whatsoever, and even think that all women are like empresses, with wicked minds...
I thought my life would go on like this until the first moment I saw that person. I knew then that my calamity had arrived.
