A pure ancient proverb about the power struggle for power and hegemony in troubled times, an era full of killing and cannibalism. Each character has a distinct personality and can see the difficulty of surviving in troubled times, as well as the blood and cruelty of war. The first half mainly focuses on the struggle in the court, and the second half focuses on the struggle for the throne. The plot is reversed, the design of the plan is very exciting, and the writing is more classical.
