Even though it was Ling Chen's first time meeting the crown prince Zhao Qingcheng, he already knew a lot about him including his current situation.
As the crown prince of the mighty Soaring Dragon Empire and also the future emperor, Zhao Qingcheng was supposed to be one of the most powerful and influential figures throughout the whole Soaring Dragon Empire.
A man who all the nobles and influential figures throughout the Soaring Dragon Empire would try to suck up to and befriend. However, it wasn't the case. Despite being the crown prince, he was the most powerless member of the Zhao Imperial Family.
