Foreword
The court of Great Chu is caught in a turbulent maelstrom, its currents treacherous. A conspiracy decades in the making is gradually coming to light!
To purge corrupt officials and stabilize the political situation, and above all to save the Crown Prince’s life, Emperor Hui of Chu appoints Consort Chen as empress. But this only drives his beloved son further away!
Unable to accept the emperor’s actions, the Crown Prince breaks with his father, consumed by grief!
When an emperor and his son love and loathe each other, how can they break the deadlock between them?
With the empire and the martial world at stake, and identities as father and son, master and disciple, how will the Crown Prince choose his path?
Once the dust settles, who can say what was gained or lost, what succeeded or failed? Fortunately, the people who matter are still here…
