Northern Qi: My Father is Emperor Wenxuan

The Northern Qi dynasty was deeply unlucky, squandering its fleeting chance to end a turbulent era and ultimately becoming a stepping stone for Northern Zhou due to a succession of erratic emperors. Yet, fortune smiled upon it when Gao Yin, the crown prince once beaten into submission, opened his eyes anew in the ninth year of Tianbao. His biological father was Emperor Wenxuan of Gao Yang, the notorious "heroic emperor" who made lutes out of human bones, drank excessively, and indulged in slaughter. Upon the emperor's death, Empress Dowager Lou Zhaojun is slated to elevate her own son to usurp Gao Yin's throne, cutting Gao Yin's life short at just sixteen. Seventeen years later, Qi—the strongest state of its time—will be obliterated, remembered in history as a grotesquely absurd dynasty of beasts. But how can this be allowed? The ancestors of legendary statesmen and generals like Qin Qiong, Cheng Yaojin, and Wei Zheng are all right here! Qi should be the one to unify the realm under heaven, not the pseudo-Zhou regime of Yuwen that merely pays lip service to the Rites of Zhou while reviving old Xianbei customs. "The former gentle and accommodating Gao Yin is dead; standing before you now is the heir to the heroic emperor!" With a Tujue princess as his empress and the Prince of Lanling as his vanguard general, Gao Yin makes foolproof preparations to rewrite history. "Grandmother loves you, see you at the Yunlong Gate!"
