Why not be born into an imperial family in the next life? It must be complete.

May I never be reborn in an emperor’s home in the next life.

This was said by Liu Ziluan. Liu Ziluan was the son of Liu Jun, the lord of the Song Dynasty, and the half-brother of Liu Ziye, who belonged to the royal family of the Southern Song Dynasty during the Northern and Southern Dynasties.

When Liu Ziye was the prince, he was extravagant and made many mistakes. Liu Jun was dissatisfied and planned to depose him and make his beloved son Liu Ziluan the prince. Later, the servant Yuan Kai tried his best to protect him, so he did not change his family. .

However, after Liu Ziye ascended the throne, he did not forget his past grudges and happened to meet Prince Luan of Xin'an when he returned to the capital. He thought that his position as prince was almost taken away by Zi Luan, so he took the opportunity to retaliate and ordered Liu Zi Luan to commit suicide.

Liu Ziluan was only 10 years old at the time. When he was about to die, he sobbed to his left and right: "I hope I will never be reborn in an emperor's home in the next life!" Extended information

The reason for Liu Ziluan's tragedy:

Liu Ziluan’s mother was Liu Jun’s favorite Yin Shuyi, and Liu Ziluan was also Liu Jun’s favorite son during his lifetime. When he was five years old, he was canonized as King of Xiangyang by his father and was given many official positions.

Because Liu Jun prefers Liu Ziluan and does not love Liu Ziye, he has expressed his desire to change Liu Ziluan to the crown prince more than once. Later, after Liu Ziluan's mother died of illness, Liu Jun was heartbroken and named Liu Ziluan the first prince. A series of official positions, from Situ to Zhongshu Ling.

However, it was his father's favor that ultimately harmed Liu Ziluan. After the death of Liu Jun, Emperor Xiaowu of Song Dynasty, Liu Ziye succeeded to the throne and proclaimed himself emperor. And the first thing he did when he became emperor was to take revenge on his younger brother who had competed with him for his father's affection and even almost took away his throne.

Liu Ziye first deprived Liu Ziluan of his title, but later felt that he could not understand his hatred, so he simply killed his younger brother to avoid future troubles. When Liu Ziluan was dying, he left a famous saying that has been passed down through the ages. He said that he hoped for the next life, hoped for eternal life, and would not live in the imperial family again.
