King Zhaoxiang of Yan: Flames Beside the Golden Terrace

When Prince Zhi fled Jicheng, a city engulfed in blood and fire, he was merely a fallen noble burdened by hatred for his country and family. After twenty-eight years of endurance, what he built was not a golden terrace, but the faith of an entire age. Yue Yi, Ju Xin, Zou Yan... The finest talents in the land gathered there, not for gold, but for the promise that “a scholar will die for one who truly understands him.” See how King Zhao of Yan made domestic policy the framework, diplomacy the lifeblood, and Yue Yi the sword’s edge, joining forces with a five-state alliance to capture seventy-two Qi cities, avenge past humiliation, and vie to become the ruler of all under heaven!

The ultimate bond between ruler and subject: The heartfelt connection between Yue Yi and the king, summed up in “You treated me as a man of worth, so I shall repay you as one,” is the story’s most moving emotional thread.
