Planning the World: Splendor

The Wang daughters were destined to become empresses, while the Wang sons went to war at a young age. In the Great You Dynasty, the Wang clan stood equal to the imperial family. Wang daughters were born to marry into the royal family, a status more exalted than that of a princess. Wang sons joined the army in their youth, shedding their blood on the battlefield in loyal service to the emperor and country. Such a status inspired admiration, envy, and even hatred. After a single act of treachery, the entire Wang clan was executed. From then on, the Great You Dynasty had no more Wangs, but gained a Jin clan instead. The Nine-Thousand-Year-Old, Jin Yulou, held power over the entire court. He was ruthless and killed without batting an eye, yet he alone treated her with tenderness and care. "Jinxiu, as long as I'm alive, you'll never escape me." He was the heir to a prince's estate, his origins shrouded in mystery. In others' eyes, he was both clever and terrifying. Only before her was he as simple as a fool. "Jinxiu, as long as I'm here, no one will dare bully you." Royal rivalries, conspiracies stirring beneath the surface. A tale of Jinxiu, who schemes to claim all under heaven.
