In the long river of history, there is a group of people who stand at the pinnacle of power and overlook the world. They seem to have infinite scenery, but in fact they are entangled in endless difficulties. This book uses a unique perspective and uses the emperor's autobiography combined with narration to tell the legendary life of 422 emperors in chronological order, from Qin Shihuang, the first emperor through the ages, to Puyi, the last emperor.
