As the glorious dynasty rotted from within, those who passed the imperial examinations all rose to wealth and status. The Heaven-Shaking General, who had repeatedly failed the exams, marched on the capital with his troops. The emperor abandoned the city and fled, and people once again heard the grand proclamation: "The Yellow King has taken up arms for the people!"
When the powerful and wealthy had turned to dust, people tried to believe the new dynasty would be different. But the executioner's blade had already entered their homes.
As cries of injustice shook the land, a group wearing Kunlun slave masks sent ripples through stagnant waters. People called them the "Kunlun Heroes."
Women forced to serve bandits, soldiers compelled to surrender to them, and ordinary folk whose blood still ran hot pieced together the bandits' movements into vital intelligence.
That day, the bandits fled in a humiliating defeat. People cheered the arrival of the imperial army, only to have cold steel pierce their chests.
It turned out the so-called imperial army was just another band of bandits.
Later, the bandits counterattacked and seized the capital once more. The people then faced the bandits' inevitable "purge of the city."
In a world like that, how could anyone stay alive?
One person said, "No matter what happens, I refuse to die!"
Another said, "I don't want to live, but I'm afraid to die, so I have no choice but to keep living like a wretch!"
Someone else said, "There are no people left in this world. Everyone who cared about propriety, righteousness, integrity, and honor has turned to dust!"
And another said, "Live like an animal!"
[Dark Realism] [Chaotic Times] [Not Suitable for Normal Readers]
Tomato keeps slapping on random tags. It's got nothing to do with me! There's no romance here. In a nutshell, this book is a riot of colors.
I wrote a historical romance novel before; now it's time to write one set in a chaotic world. I'll give myself four stars again, and save the next one for later.
