After five years missing, Crown Prince Su Yi returns to the imperial capital.
Enemies eye the realm from beyond its borders, while rebels riot within and aristocratic clans dominate the court.
The martial world is in turmoil, the nation is adrift, banditry runs rampant, and the age is in chaos.
After enduring one crisis after another, he foils the Japanese clan’s schemes, quells rebellions across the land, breaks the aristocratic clans’ monopoly, and introduces reforms to strengthen the realm.
This time, he will bear the burden of Great Yan’s vast lands and vow to forge an age of prosperity unlike any the world has ever seen.
