Late Ming: Amid Survival and Ruin, Only Sorrow Remains

In the southeast, Zheng Chenggong recaptures Zhoushan and eyes Fujian's coast. On the Yangtze, Zhang Huangyan stands alone against the crisis, roaming with his isolated forces. The Eight Banner cavalry have trampled across the Central Plains. In an age when those who refuse to shave their heads are killed, nowhere is safe. Nanjing, a rainy night. One man sets out to slay demons. The demons he means to slay are the former officials who have switched their allegiance, the warlords of the day who bow their heads, and this cruel age that devours its people!
