At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the building was about to collapse. In this land where morality and fame are respected, a warrior from the edge of the empire will use fire and steel to sound the final death knell for the decaying dynasty.
Dong Zhuo, a powerful man from Liangzhou, was of mixed Qiang and Han descent.
He once believed in military merit and loyalty, but he saw his faith collapse amidst the contempt of bureaucrats and unfair rewards and punishments. He was once the guardian of the border, but in the war of the Yellow Turban and the suspicion of the court, he learned the only rule of troubled times: power, no decoration.
From the wind and snow in Longxi to the flames of Luoyang, he took a path that was denounced as "immoral" by history books. Recruiting Lu Bu, deposing the emperor, burning the capital, and moving to Chang'an... He used the most brutal method to tear apart the hypocritical order, and also built a fortress of fear at the pinnacle of power.
