Pride in the Dust

Xiao Jinyan, the founding emperor of the Great Jing dynasty, unified the realm with his four loyal brothers, his iron will and pride dominating the world. However, his half-life of slaughter bore karmic consequences; he was poisoned slowly by a sorcerer. Obsessed with immortality, he refused to accept his fate. He secretly raised a double who looked exactly like him, controlled him as a puppet emperor through a voodoo curse, and left the palace anonymously to seek immortality, attempting to defy heaven and change his destiny.
