This is a sweeping novella rich in meaning. Set against the vast backdrop of the Yellow Turban Rebellion at the end of the Eastern Han dynasty, it retells the story from the unique first-person perspective of Zhang Jue, a figure traditionally branded a “demonic priest” and “rebel” in the history books, recasting him as a compassionate hero who pleads for the people. Far from ordinary, empty web fiction, the novel offers profound historical insight and a wealth of literary imagination.
Across a thousand years of time: “If someone asks, ‘Zhang Jue, why did you defy Heaven?’ I will answer: ‘I never defied Heaven. I followed the will of Heaven, which demands that the people be allowed to live!’ If they ask whether I ever regretted it, I will answer: ‘If I could live again, I would still give my whole life to establishing this Yellow Heaven for humanity!’ The azure Heaven is dead, but my path is not walked alone!”
