Synopsis

The imperial court is the center of an emperor’s power. The seat of supreme authority is not merely a symbol of prestige and dignity, but also the product of intrigue and bloodshed. In the small world of the court, there are ministers who murder their sovereigns and sons who kill their fathers; families torn apart and siblings turning against one another; factions formed for private gain and courtiers who change sides with the wind; schemes and rivalries, and those who kick others when they’re down. Those who submit prosper and enjoy their moment in the sun, while those who resist perish, their entire clans drenched in blood… Court coups have become synonymous with political conspiracy. The dust of history has covered it all, yet those bloodstains remain as vivid as ever.

Looking for Masterpieces, but Not Anything on the Recommendation Rankings

Don't recommend anything where the protagonist's surname is Ye or Ling, where the protagonist has a cute little sister, or where the protagonist is a bleeding-heart do-gooder. In short, no stupid novels. The darker and more ruthless, the better! Kill, kill, kill!!!
