This is an epic narrative with "power and people's hearts" at its core. Xie Xingzhou was originally the prince of a subjugated country. He became an official in an enemy country under the pseudonym Lu Xing. He rose up as an aide to the prince based on his strategy. He secretly supported the rebels and controlled the government, leading to the division of the empire. He finally ascended the throne and proclaimed himself emperor, and then burned the palace and died as a martyr. Revenge, empire, faith and destruction are intertwined into a long scroll of the times from "Youth Inspiration" to "Ashes of Empire".
