Reclaiming the Throne

Ten years ago, in Black Mountain Gorge, the 70,000-strong Tianxiong Army was unjustly wiped out. Young Marshal Lin Mo was struck by a chilling poison that destroyed his meridians, but his brilliant mind remained intact.

Ten years later, the frail scholar "Chen Mo" returns to the imperial capital. Though he has barely the strength to kill a chicken, he carries strategies capable of overturning the world. With all under heaven as his chessboard, he calculates the hearts of men and wields his intellect as a blade and his schemes as armor amid the treacherous imperial court.

Aristocratic clans vie for power, eunuch factions wreak havoc, border generals command their own troops, and the Di tribes raid the frontier. Amid the ruins of a dynasty on the brink of collapse, he secretly spins his web: establishing the Abyss of Silence, commanding the Listening Rain, and controlling master artisans. Forming alliances and turning enemies against one another, he stirs up the world, vowing to burn the rotten throne, his treacherous foes, and this devouring old world to ash!

This is a road to vengeance that begins in obscurity and ends at the throne. Watch a frail man outwit his rivals and strike without hesitation as he overturns the Yin dynasty, sets the land ablaze, and rewrites the world order!
