Zhu Zhao, the sixth prince of the Ming Dynasty, lost his mother at a young age and was dismissed as a "useless idler" who hid in the palace corners to live in peace. However, when the crown prince died suddenly, the succession struggle erupted—Prince Qi framed him for poisoning the crown prince, Prince Jin sent assassins to his bedroom, and even Su Wan, the daughter of the grand tutor he secretly protected, was kidnapped as a hostage. At the brink of death, Zhu Zhao finally dropped his "useless" disguise: he had long planted spies in the imperial kitchen, gained loyalists in the imperial army, and even held the late emperor's edict stating "merit over birthright"! He had been feigning weakness for ten years, driven by two obsessions: to avenge his mother, who was murdered by the empress, and to make those who looked down on him witness their fall from grace.
