When Qin Shi Huang Ying Zheng left Mount Li, when Emperor Gaozu of Han Liu Bang emerged from Mount Mangdang, and when the founders of the Tang and Song dynasties broke free of history's shackles, the founding emperors of every dynasty glimpsed the ultimate downfall of their realms amid a disturbance in the flow of time.
They were the most ambitious pioneers in China's millennia of history, yet in the mirror of fate, they saw their empires in ruins and their descendants lamenting the loss of their lands. This time, no outsiders will interfere. These rulers who defy fate will use the iron will and wisdom of founding emperors to rewrite the final chapters of their dynasties with their own hands.
Ying Zheng abandons his obsession with seeking immortality and instead lays the groundwork for an empire to last ten thousand generations. Liu Bang casts aside his suspicions and joins his loyal ministers to build a Great Wall for the Han. Li Shimin sees through the dangers within the imperial clan and extends the prosperous Zhenguan era for a hundred years. Zhao Kuangyin puts aside the gentleness of disarming his generals over wine and uses an iron fist to secure the Song dynasty for all time...
Each emperor brings his own commanding presence and chivalrous spirit, forging a wholly different path through familiar courts and battlefields. This is a war against fate fought by founding emperors alone. With the wisdom of one, they shake a thousand years of history and reshape the course of China into something entirely new.
