The Dragon’s Song in Commoner’s Garb

[Alternate History] [Struggle for Supremacy]

A reflection of the chaotic final years of the Ming dynasty, set along the borders of Fujian, Guangdong, and Jiangxi. Zhu Yan, a living overlord, sees his path to the imperial examinations blocked by a corrupt prefect and angrily becomes an outlaw. He outsmarts the government troops sent to suppress him, absorbs the bandits of the hills, and takes root in a world in turmoil. As the court collapses and northern invaders batter the passes, Zhu Yan raises the banner of rebellion and embarks on a bloody campaign to conquer the Nine Provinces.
