Throne of Chains: A Puppet Emperor's Awakening

In a world where sacred lands reign supreme and myriad kingdoms rise and fall, swordsmen boast of their elegance, the resolute vow to pave a path for all, and the ambitious scheme to seize the reins of fate itself. Era gives way to era, and players emerge and fade in an endless dance of power. Into this grand and turbulent age descends Jiang Yi—only to find himself a prince imprisoned within the cold, silent walls of the harem's back palace. For thirteen full years, he has been confined, forbidden to step outside or speak to anyone, with nothing but ancient tomes and the palace walls for company. Yet within those pages, his mind roamed free, unbound by any obstacle, until he now stands but a single step away from the legendary realm of "Spirit Roaming the Void" recorded in the old texts. Just as Jiang Yi prepares to finally break free and witness the vastness of the divine continent and the breadth of the four seas, the Grand General raises his banners, proclaiming a righteous purge of traitors and corrupt ministers. His army storms the imperial palace—not to kill, but to place the discarded prince on the throne as a puppet sovereign, wielding the authority of the Great Zhou dynasty through his shadow.
