Dark Manipulator / High-IQ Scheming / Revolutionary Power Fantasy / Villain Protagonist This is a world shrouded in eternal night.
Theocracy shackles people with faith, capital wields profit as a blade, and monarchy rests on violence. These three powers press down on all, and every living soul suffers.
His name is Chen Wu. He was born in the dust, with a gentle appearance,
but deep inside, he conceals the coldest madness and the most profound hypocrisy.
He commands no army, claims no throne, and kills no one with his own hands,
yet he turns the world into a chessboard, people’s hearts into pieces, and remnants of defeated factions into beasts.
In secret, he raises two false champions and provokes the remnants of the theocracy and capital into a bloody war;
he lays a web of suspicion, driving traitors and ambitious schemers to destroy one another.
Blood flows through Blackstone Gorge, and accounts are settled before the council hall.
Every enemy dies by their own hatred and greed.
When he ascends the altar and summons the aurora to illuminate a thousand years of darkness,
the people hail him as the true god, and the three ministers bow in submission.
No one knows that this era of peace and prosperity
has been his design from beginning to end.
He commands the darkness, defines the aurora, and stands supreme above all under heaven.
