Wow, So This Is the Northern Frontier King!

A tragic song of a dynasty woven with blood and fire, an epic of betrayal and redemption in a time of turmoil.

Yongding Gate falls, and the imperial city collapses. Xu Zheng steps over bloodstains on the jade stairs and enters the Hall of Supreme Harmony, only to find Jinghe Emperor, the ruler of a fallen dynasty, calmly weaving him a long-life charm to pray for his good fortune.

Seven years earlier, on a snowy night at the northern frontier, the renowned general Xiao Qing was forced to his death at Yanhuai Pass by twelve golden edicts. The young Xu Zheng buried his father’s tiger tally, but could not bury the dying words stained with blood: “In His Majesty’s sleeve… are two long-life charms…”

From the northern frontier to Jiangnan, from fugitive convict to regional warlord. The mysterious mute girl A Wu follows him at the cost of her life; the young master of the Canal Gang forms an alliance of convenience; a princess of the previous dynasty faces a difficult choice… Every clue points to the sinister thread in the emperor’s hands.

When Xu Zheng finally marches on the capital and confronts the emperor who has woven the fate of his entire life, what awaits him: an offer from the throne, or a vast conspiracy twenty years in the making?
