The Abandoned Scion
Song Chi transmigrated, becoming the son of the reigning Chief Grand Secretary. He aspired to a life of beautiful wives and concubines, an idle playboy who muddled through life, but instead became an abandoned scion, expelled from his family.
In the imperial court, a treacherous prime minister controlled the nation, and eunuchs wielded tyrannical power. Foreign tribes whetted their blades, eyeing the world with predatory gazes. The common people suffered from hunger and cold, barely surviving.
Through imperial examinations, he embarked on an official career, eventually becoming a Regent King who dominated the court, even suspending the Emperor's authority.
His scumbag father: "My son, your father knows he was wrong."
Song Chi: "How many times have I told you, when at work, address me by my title, and speak while kneeling."
