In the troubled times of the late Tang Dynasty, the rise and fall of Weibo Town, a powerful vassal in Hebei Province for hundreds of years, was all related to the eight-character prophecy of "Emperor Chang'an, Yabing Wei Boya". This book uses solid historical facts as its bones and literary imagination as its flesh and blood, and profoundly outlines a majestic picture of the separatist regime in the late Tang Dynasty. It is not only a family epic, but also reveals the nature of power in troubled times: there is no eternal loyalty and betrayal, only the game of survival. In the fierce torn between central and local, ideal and reality, human nature and bestiality, everyone is a struggler in the torrent of history and the creator of his own destiny.
