Synopsis

This is an epic reimagined through blood and glory. The dazzling life of Li Shimin, the Celestial Khan we know, began with a terrible secret buried in his boyhood. When he was just ten years old, he rescued Emperor Yang of Sui from a mountain of corpses at Yanmen Pass. What he brought back was no glory, but an ancient parasitic insect called “Tiance,” embedded in his spine and sustained by “imperial ambition.” It granted Li Shimin the genius to govern the world and unparalleled charisma, but whenever his achievements reached their height, it hungered for the blood of his closest kin. The tears and blood before Xuanwu Gate, the undercurrents beneath the prosperous Zhenguan era, the tragedies of fathers and sons turning against each other and brothers killing brothers: were they inevitable parts of history, or sacrifices meticulously orchestrated by Tiance? When Li Shimin enters old age and finally realizes that all his conquests and tireless efforts to strengthen the realm have been nothing but preparation for the parasite's ultimate feast, what will he choose? Will he resign himself to becoming a puppet sage-emperor who nourishes the divine insect, or use his battered body to protect his people and launch one final war against “fate”?
