Espionage: The Spy Emperor's Road to Reclaiming the Throne

An alternate ancient world of espionage, political intrigue, and high-IQ showdowns. A story you can read with your brain switched on, not a fast-paced romp.

A new take on Romance of the Three Kingdoms, featuring intelligence organizations: Northern Wei's Shadow Pavilion, Eastern Wu's Hidden Dragon Institute, and Western Shu's Security Bureau.

Gu Ruize, crown prince of the Yan Hua Empire, is entrusted with the mission of restoring his country. He founds a nation on a deserted island, defeats the natives, and forcefully unites them.

He establishes the Hidden Dragon Institute and appoints himself its director. Concealing his identity, he joins the institute and studies alongside everyone else...

The late emperor's decree: "I, the emperor, lack virtue and ability, and have failed to govern the realm well, allowing the Shadow Pavilion to plunge it into chaos. My heart is filled with regret.

"Yet the crown prince is clever and benevolent, wise and discerning, truly a pillar of the nation. Whoever receives this decree must treat the crown prince as they would treat me, and do their utmost to support him and restore the glory of the Yan Hua Empire. I previously sent General Zhou to Donglai Island in the southeast.

"If the situation becomes irredeemable, the generals may go to Donglai Island and plan the restoration of our nation anew."
