On the night bronze comes into the world, a playboy commands the light of heaven.
Ye Wuxie, an archaeologist, is born into another world. He embraces the most beautiful courtesan with one arm and commands the universe with the other.
On the surface, he is a wastrel from a marquis's estate. In secret, he is the dark emperor who commands the Evil Palace. Four maids suppress the bloodlines of the heavens, ten Evil Emperors stir up turmoil among the myriad races, and three thousand faceless shadows weave an intelligence network that spans the heavens.
When the Dragon Princess sheds her reverse scales for him, the Celestial Saintess abandons her divine kingdom for him, and the Asura Queen breaks her battle blade for him, the Evil Emperor in his purple-gold mask merely smiles as he devises a Hongmeng chess game amid brothels and gambling houses.
The undying spirit light gives birth to myriad arts; once the mask is donned, the heavens tremble.
Watch as this playboy wears his wastrel ways like armor and turns brothels into a chessboard, composing a wild song that subdues all paths in a primeval world teeming with myriad races.
"Evil Emperor of Ten Thousand Races" is based on the extremely tense classical Zhanghui style, but it is infused with the smooth rhythm of modern online writing. The fourteen words in the opening chapter, "Bronze appears in the night, and the dandy holds the light of the sky," set the narrative tone of both good and evil - the protagonist Ye Wuxie is both the absurd prince in the brothel and gambling house, and the emperor of the dark night behind the purple and gold mask. This dual identity is not simply about pretending to be a pig and eating the tiger, but has become his key armor in dealing with the chess game of thousands of races. Traditional mythological images such as the "Four Attendants" and "Ten Palaces" are reconstructed as fulcrums of power, allowing romantic symbols such as the Dragon Clan's Reverse Scale and Shura's Broken Blade to closely interlock with the cold and hard political game. In the mirror image of drinking in a brothel and the layout of the heavens, the novel completes an upgrading of the "dandy" narrative: what the prodigal son deduces in his jokes is actually the chess game of the survival of civilization.
