The Child Emperor

A succession of three Imperial deaths shakes the throne. An overlooked prince ascends unexpectedly, inheriting a crown surrounded by treachery. Peril multiplies from every direction—the Empress Dowager schemes to replace him with a malleable heir, his half-brother challenges his legitimacy and claims the throne is stolen, and palace officials question his right to rule. Trapped in a web of court conspiracies and political intrigue, the Child Emperor must navigate deadly power struggles to survive and secure his throne.
