Avenged: The Prince's Vow On The Dragon Throne

Two years ago, a prince spoke one defiant word to protect his mother—and unleashed a tyrant's vow to kill them both. Now, with her blood still on his hands, he makes a vow of his own. In the Great Shang Kingdom, power belongs to the Emperor alone—and he wields it like a blade. Prince Chu Heng grew up watching his mother, Consort Xie, endure humiliation in silence: the slights, the exile to cold palaces, the laughter of favored consorts who knew she had no one to speak for her. For years, he said nothing. Then came the day he could bear it no longer. A single act of defiance—a son speaking against his father in open court—was enough to shatter what little safety they had. The tyrant's rage was immediate and absolute: he vowed to murder wife and child alike, erasing them as though they had never existed. In the chaos that followed, Consort Xie did not run. She threw herself between the blade and her son, taking what was meant for him, and nearly lost her life to save his. Two years have passed since that day. The prince who once spoke out of impulse has learned to speak in whispers, to bow lower than anyone, to wait. But those who watch him closely see it—the quiet in his eyes is not peace. It is a promise. And when a vow is made in a mother's blood, the Dragon Throne is the only price that will settle it. #RoyalRevenge #TyrantEmperor #MothersSacrifice #PrincesVow #PalaceIntrigue #FaceSlapping #PowerClimb #TragicBeginning #StrongMaleLead #FamilyBetrayal #Emotional #PlotTwist
