The once declining Great Yin 3rd Prince, Shen Yuan, suddenly changed his ways from his previous listlessness and decay.
After executing several servants in various Prince's Mansions, 3rd Prince Ji Zhaoyang began actively visiting the noble families who had lost favor amidst the changing tides of the Imperial Court.
Within the Imperial Capital, rumors began to circulate among the common marketplace.
It was said that the 3rd Prince of the Great Yin Imperial Dynasty had exceptional talent and was fit to be a Mortal Emperor, having swept away all enemies at the All-Worlds Luotian Convention and earned prestige for the dynasty.
Yet such a capable figure was maliciously suppressed by the Crown Prince Ji Xuanyi and, under the instigation of treacherous courtiers, fell out of favor with the Mortal Emperor and thus lost his power.
