Mastering the Art of Stratagem

In some great dynasty from an unknown time and place, let us call it the Heng Dynasty.

In the third year of the Wushou era of the Great Heng Dynasty, the emperor governed diligently and cared for his people. The people lived in peace and prosperity, the realm flourished, and foreign nations came to pay tribute.

Yet in this very dynasty, several unsolved beheading cases suddenly took place within the empire.

Like a thunderclap from a clear sky, the cases sent fear through the capital and the entire empire, even reaching the ears of the Great Heng Emperor. Little did anyone know that behind these seemingly minor beheadings, a world-shaking conspiracy against the natural order was taking shape.

This led to a bloody, life-and-death struggle between two long-established secret organizations, the Wendin Alliance and the Duwu Society.

See how the forgotten stratagems of Woqi will restore the prosperous age, turn the tide, protect the people, and quell the rebellion before it begins.

As the verse goes: "Fame and glory rose under Xia, Shang, Zhou. In a moment, rise and fall passed through their hands. Countless heroes appeared in the world, all caught in struggles between dragons and tigers."
