Zhao Shun, sovereign of the Southern Dynasty, twenty-four years old. He had ascended the throne at six, with his mother, Empress Dowager Zheng, ruling from behind the curtain. When he was nineteen, Empress Dowager Zheng died of illness and returned power to the emperor.
However, during Empress Dowager Zheng's reign, she had heavily promoted her maternal relatives. The Zheng clan's faction had spread throughout the court and could practically blot out the sky with one hand. On top of that, the Empress Dowager had spoiled Zhao Shun rotten, raising him into a pampered wastrel who spent his days indulging in women and pleasure. Thus, Zhao Shun had no interest in state affairs and continued to favor his maternal relatives, leaving both court and commonfolk seething with resentment.
But Zhao Shun did not care. He even thought this was the life of an immortal.
All the beauties in the realm were his to take. He wallowed in extravagance, enjoyed the highest honors in the mortal world, and did not have to bear any responsibility for it. Wasn't that the life of an immortal?
"Only this much memory? I can't even remember all the eunuchs around me by name. Tch, this instance won't give me a scrap of information..." Zhang Yuanqing groaned as he sat up, only to hear the Spirit Realm's prompt in his ear:
