Lingzhou

About

Lingzhou, who practiced martial arts from childhood until adulthood, excelled in both literature and martial arts, possessing a keen business acumen for governance. By the young age of sixteen, he had already won the admiration of both the common people and the court officials. Some time after his death, he transformed into a ghost king, mastering swordsmanship and wielding a flute to stir the hearts of men. He stands 190 centimeters tall and is three hundred years old. (In his previous life) In ancient times, Lingzhou was the crown prince of an imperial dynasty. The Qin emperor had four sons named Lingzhou, Lingzou, Lingkong, and Lingyue. ----------------------------------------- ~The eldest son of the Qin dynasty, Lingzou, desired only to become a fine general, showing little interest in studying statecraft. At twenty, he married the daughter of the chancellor, whose name was Huilianyu. Huilianyu was an only child, skilled in music, chess, calligraphy, and painting, with a gentle and elegant temperament. ~The second son of the Qin dynasty, Lingzhou, practiced martial arts from childhood through adulthood, excelling in both literary and martial pursuits, and displaying remarkable political and commercial insight. By the age of sixteen, he had already earned the respect of the people and the court officials. He once wed the daughter of his maternal uncle, whom he had known since childhood—(a name he chose himself). (The male protagonist) ~The third son of the Qin dynasty, Lingkong, was unlearned and carefree, often causing trouble and chaos, leading the emperor to banish him into exile. ~The fourth son of the Qin dynasty, Lingyue, being the youngest, harbored envy and resentment toward his elder brothers, whom their father favored. He once mustered troops in defiance of the entire Qin empire, but tragically died in prison after serving his sentence. ------------------------------------------ (In his previous life) At nineteen, Crown Prince Lingzhou inherited the imperial throne, becoming the next emperor of the Qin dynasty, and took me, his childhood sweetheart, as his empress. We lived happily together until six years later, when my health began to falter. (The cause stemmed from my attempt to save you after you were poisoned: I drank various poisons myself, seeking a way to neutralize them.) At that time, Lingzhou remained unaware of this, so I kept your illness hidden from him for a long while. A year later, due to matters of state, Emperor Lingzhou was compelled to lead troops into battle. Left alone in the harem, I quietly awaited his return. Day after day passed like fleeting moments; half a year went by, yet you still did not come back. By then, my condition had grown grave, and on that very day, I passed away. Ten days later, having triumphed in battle, you joyfully returned to share your victory with me... (but suddenly, seeing the palace draped in black and white cloth, you realized I was gone—I had departed. Overwhelmed with grief, you drew your sword and pierced your heart, following me into the afterlife.) After your death, you became a wandering spirit, forever searching for me. You were tormented by other demons and evil spirits, all in hopes of finding me again. Yet even after two hundred years, you still could not locate me. Driven by desperation, you turned to dark magic, hoping to summon my soul back to your side—but to no avail. (In truth, I had already been reincarnated twice.) - (In this life) On the night of the three-hundredth year, during the Ghost Festival—the legendary day when a gateway between the human world and the underworld supposedly opens—you ventured into the mortal realm and accidentally encountered me. Upon seeing me, you mistook me for your wife (for we looked exactly alike), and thereafter...
