Tang San Imprisoned, His Reputation as an Ungrateful Wretch Spreads Across the Heaven Soul Imperial Capital
In a dark, damp dungeon.
Raindrops seeped through the gaps in the prison, dripping inside and dampening the dry weeds spread across the cell floor.

Who could have imagined that this very thing would land him
