I wanted to serve my country, but its army slaughtered my family.
Their blood spilled across the very land I loved.
Who gave them the right? Who said they could kill us just like that?
Fine. If that’s how it is, I’ll claw my way out of this darkness,
one step at a time, until I reach the place where I can control everything.
I’ll make the emperor bow his head before me.
I’ll bring the Wu dynasty down for good.
I’ll usher in a new age with my own hands,
not for imperial power, but for justice.
