"If you're wise to protect yourself, you might scrape by."
"If you choose the wrong side, death is certainly awaiting."
"Ha." Xu Yan snorts derisively, "Picking a side blindly, who knows what will happen."

"The full title of the Young Emperor is — the Innate Prince!"
"Shi Shou, oh, Shi Shou, do you know the implications of the words 'Innate'?"
"Lower and middle-tier officials may get promoted in advance, leaping over their ranks."
"But at the top, even the greatest of luck finds it hard to bridge the gap!"
"Ye Hanjun had the chance to be the Young Emperor, but he gave it up himself, who can he blame?"
