*Synopsis* Shanghan is a vibrant kingdom where everyone worships their crown prince Song An. Song An was a youthful, attractive man when he was younger, but after his parents passed away unexpectedly, he had to deal with a lot of hardships and was given the task of leading the nation. Many other domains keep a watch on that country because the head of state was not a mature man. After Song An assumes the throne of Shanghan, what would have had happen that makes him despise the entire world and all those peoples? What might have occurred during those two years that turned a good soul into a devil's soul? *Two years later* "If you go now, don't come for me again. Your efforts will be in futile, so why hurt people over something trivial? " A man's voice came in a sigh. "Minor issue? It may mean nothing to you, but to me, it means everything." A laughing voice with a menacing tone and a gloomy vibe emerged. "How can you possibly believe that you can defeat the three realms by yourself, my lord? Both your life and the lives of those closest to you who genuinely support you on your path will be at stake. "After a while, Song An broke the unusual stillness with a somber and reflective tone, saying, "Uncle Su, I already told you to not call me 'my lord' anymore. Even though I am now a nobody, I still want to attempt my risky path because I can't do anything that will make me regret it. I will now make everyone who had interfered with my joyful life regret ever entering this world". Uncle Su looked out the window with a sigh on his face.

"Shall I tell you a little secret? But I have to warn you, you won't like it." No one likes spoilers, therefore, I present this to you. "Is it a book filled with spoilers or a book specifically about spoilers?" Read between the lines, that is what you do when you are eager to find out. To figure out a secret, to interpret and keep note of what there is to come. "It is kind of like that, but I would rather refer to it as a compilation or a series." "Or an outline, a note, reminder for what'll end up happening, whatever feels right to you." A story that has only one plot, universe, and meaning is not how you would describe this one. Spoiler though, you'll never be satisfied. /Extra/ "One more thing... None of this is real. Unless you know what exactly is going on."
