Playing Dead at the Start: My Killing Spree in the Imperial Capital

I transmigrated into a prince's heir in the Great Qi dynasty—and immediately had to fake my own death. Two and a half years later, I'm ready to shock the capital with my resurrection. But the Emperor has his own surprise waiting: this whole charade was HIS trap from the start. In a court where loyalty is theater and treachery is currency, everyone's playing a role. Behind the prosperity of Great Qi's twenty-year reign lurks faction warfare, scheming nobles, and enemies at the gates. Time to stop playing dead and start playing for keeps.
