On the 2,010th cycle, the Azure Heaven is dead, the Yellow Heaven is dead too, and the Mandate of Heaven must be fulfilled.
The farcical Yellow Turban Rebellion, the wavering city of Xiaopei, the Imperial Seal that eats away at the mind... This world is being twisted by a force called the “Mandate of Heaven,” hurtling through chaos toward its predetermined end: the unification of the Three Kingdoms under Jin.
Liu Bei, the Han dynasty’s last “chosen one,” bears the destiny of breaking the cycle;
Cao Cao, a watcher of Heaven who possesses “shards of memory,” fights the Mandate’s machinations with a timeline out of order.
In this life, the two heroes are no longer enemies. They form a secret alliance, defy Heaven, and declare war on it.
Yet the end of restoring the Han dynasty is suicide, while the end of winning the hearts of all under Heaven is madness.
Is this a world where every effort is doomed to be futile?
Or, when the cycle begins anew, will a different flame at last ignite in the eyes of the young man who looks up at the sky?
