Emperor Chongzhen: I Don't Want Loyal Ministers in My Empire

This was a carefully planned murder! Who was the killer? Was it a cold arrow from a Later Jin spy? A frame-up by political rivals at court? The ignorant masses fanning the flames? Or... the young emperor on the throne, consumed by fear? When loyalty becomes a crime, when a devoted heart is ground to dust! See how Yuan Chonghuan clings to his principles in the hell of the imperial prison; how Chongzhen descends into the abyss of paranoia and walks a path from which there is no return; and how Huang Taiji wields the sharpest weapon of all, suspicion in people's hearts, to destroy the empire's Great Wall without shedding a drop of blood! “My realm has no place for loyal hearts and souls!” Chongzhen's roar rang out beneath the final dusk of the Ming dynasty!
