A-Wan, the four-year-old Princess of Ten Thousand Years, stood before the iron armor of the Western Liang warlord, her little face raised.
"Bad man, you're hurting the Han!"
The suffering of the land, invisible to everyone else, became cold and pain on her own body. Only A-Wan could feel it.
She had no brilliant schemes and couldn't foresee the future. She could only sense the undercurrents of a chaotic age through a child's most instinctive physical sensations.
Confined in the inner palace, surrounded by blades and spears.
She made Diao Chan, trapped in the tiger's den, her godmother; she and her timid brother Liu Xie depended on each other for survival.
Against her will, she was swept into Wang Yun's intricate, deadly plot and pushed onto the chessboard where all sides contended for power.
There are no easy, carefree days of being doted on by everyone in a chaotic age.
Will the childish lisp of a little girl throw the world into turmoil, or can it win a sliver of hope for the war-ravaged Han?
⚠️ [Reader advisory] A bittersweet story set amid the turmoil at the end of the Han dynasty. The heroine is a real four-year-old child with only the ability to feel the state of the land and its people. She has no adult soul and no effortless superpowers. If you want mindless pampering, read with caution.
