Ember Palace: The Ninth Prince Reborn
From surviving the struggle among nine princes to ruling the realm, his path has always been steeped in blood and schemes.
Court intrigues, border fires, the poisonous plots of wealthy clans, and foreign powers watching from overseas: he weaves a web through the Shadow Pavilion and breaks through every crisis with an iron hand. Iron plows bring prosperity, cannons thunder at the barbarians, corn flourishes in sandy soil, and glass shines across the distant seas.
Taking concubines is a move in his game; traveling incognito is a way to gather intelligence. Every step hides a twist. Watch as he uses the people's support as his armor and his wits as his blade, carving out a brighter world from the whirlpool of power struggles.
