Lu Chenzhou, the last descendant of an old noble family, accidentally caused a comrade’s death by doing a good deed during the war. From then on, he disguised himself as a lazy, money-grubbing tavern keeper, hiding forbidden books and the truth of history deep in his wine cellar. Ten years later, the Northern Empire conquered the Southern Principality, and a mercenary band of unknown origin arrived at his tavern carrying relics from the “Age of the Gods’ Fall.” The band’s female leader recognized Lu Chenzhou’s true identity: she was the orphan he had once saved. As old grudges and new conspiracies descended upon him at once, Lu Chenzhou was forced to shed his disguise and discovered that what he was protecting was not merely a secret, but the last hope of this age.
