Time is dead, but the emperors are still alive.
Two higher-dimensional beings, [Entropy], representing “chaos,” and [Order], symbolizing “order,” have turned the universe into a gambling table for an ultimate wager over the “essence of civilization.”
The stakes are five emperors who should never have met, along with the entire civilizations they represent:
Qin Shi Huang, Ying Zheng, with his elite Qin troops and absolute laws, believes that “order is above all.”
Emperor Guangwu of Han, Liu Xiu, brings the Twenty-Eight Generals of the Yuntai and a benevolent heart guided by the “Mandate of Heaven,” determined to unite hearts and minds amid chaos.
Emperor Taizong of Tang, Li Shimin, leads his inclusive Tang army with the bearing of a Heavenly Khan, believing that “balance is the true way to rule.”
The Hongwu Emperor, Zhu Yuanzhang, builds walls with the wisdom of the common people. Through the shadows of the Embroidered Uniform Guard and the foundations of military farms, he lives by the principle: “Build high walls, stockpile grain, and claim the throne slowly.”
Genghis Khan, Temujin, commands the Mongol cavalry and an insatiable hunger for conquest, believing that “the world was made for scimitars and horses' hooves.”
They and their most trusted civil and military officials are thrown together into a “chaotic battlefield” stitched from fragments of space and time. The bright moon of the Qin era shines alongside the cannons and fire lances of the Ming, while music from the Tang palace and the war drums of the grasslands echo through the same valley.
History and warfare have never been so complicated:
The Qin Code, implemented by Li Si, and the Great Ming Code, written by Liu Bowen, vie for legitimacy in the realm of “law.”
Fang Xuanling's political strategies and Yelü Chucai's administrative methods compete over the efficiency of their “systems.”
The Embroidered Uniform Guard's spies, the Mongolian keshig, and Li Shimin's Hundred Riders Bureau wage an intelligence war in the shadows, one that transcends their eras.
This is more than just a war.
