As Zhou falls and Song rises, there are an imperial edict, a confession, and evidence of a crime. Shen Huaijin seals them inside a bronze box and stands by the Yellow River all night. Open it, and the realm will fall into chaos. Sink it, and his conscience will never be at peace. Before lowering the box into the river, he carves eight words into its inner wall. He hopes that one day, these words will see the light of day.
Open this book, and you will come closer to the truth than any court historian, and understand the price of silence better than anyone.
