Plot
My name is Qin Lie, a modern special forces soldier, code-named 'Lone Wolf.' When I opened my eyes, I became the most pathetic puppet emperor of the Great Qian Dynasty. The powerful minister Zhu Sha openly forced me to remove his boots in court and even harassed my consorts in front of me. All the officials were mere dogs of the Zhu family. But inside my body resides another soul—the founding empress of Great Qian, the Phoenix Ancestor. She taught me strategy and intrigue, and I taught her special warfare tactics. When Zhu Sha flooded the imperial city, thinking he could drown me on the dragon throne, little did he know, I had already dug a grave under the rubble for him, leading straight to hell. 'Zhu Sha, if you can sit on this throne, how can I not take back this empire?'
