The Great Song Through the Emperor's Eyes

From the dragon throne, the realm looks different.

This is the private memoir of seventeen Song emperors, a psychological map soaked in three hundred years of time and tears. From the yellow robe forced onto Zhao Kuangyin at Chenqiao Station to the briny final swallow of the imperial seal in the waters off Yashan, we will experience every tremor on the dragon throne, every hesitation behind an imperial edict, and the emptiness beneath each age of prosperity.

Zhao Kuangyin's guilt, Zhao Guangyi's fear, Zhao Ji's indulgence, Zhao Gou's scheming... Power turns people into gods, then brings those gods crashing back down to flesh and blood. In the dead of night, alone in the imperial study, and in the final moment before the fall of their dynasty, they finally dare to confess the truth to themselves:

These nine-tiered palaces are both the summit of the realm and the ultimate prison of human nature.

Turn the first page, and you will hear the dragon throne sigh.
