A one-sentence synopsis
The histories of the late Tang are always half truth and half fiction. Heavy snow can bury blood on palace walls and cover up the blades in the inner palace, but it cannot seal away the treachery of the human heart or conceal a lifelong obsession.
Emperor Jingzong dies suddenly, leaving a power vacuum in the imperial capital. The game of the crumbling Tang Dynasty begins with a thunderous move.
Everyone laughs at Prince Li Yi, calling him foolish and slow-witted, a useless man in the deep palace. Only he knows that playing the fool and hiding his talents are the royal family's only way to survive in a chaotic age.
A sudden upheaval in the mourning hall drives him and Guo Nanxi, a brilliant and formidable figure who has made a name through violence, into open enmity.
One fights to survive and wants to root out every threat. The other cherishes the past and leaves a way out. There is no right or wrong, good or evil, only two people struggling against forces beyond their control in the desperate confines of the palace.
Dark currents surge through the inner palace, as three factions face off in a deadly stalemate.
The Guo clan controls the court and its ancient rites. The Shence Army holds the power to depose and kill. The secretive Shuiyun Jian manipulates the board from behind the scenes. Amid court intrigue and brothers battling for the throne, Li Yi is caught in the struggle for imperial power between Li Han and Li Yan. He moves cautiously through a world of treachery, hiding his edge behind a foolish facade, and carves out a path back to the throne through the storm-tossed endgame of the Tang Dynasty.
The Grand Empress Dowager guards the remnants of the Tang with a sword, only to see her lifelong schemes come to nothing. The young emperor makes promises across the land, yet in the end is buried beneath the winter snow.
No one leaves the deep palace unscathed, and a chaotic age has no perfect ending.
All the deep affection, bonds between ruler and subject, and noble family principles ultimately become sacrifices to imperial power, buried under the snow. Only a few brief lines remain in the history books, their truth impossible to determine.
No one wants to fight for the world. But born into the imperial family, simply living means being caught in the game.
Theme: The turbulent late Tang.
To be honest, is it really BE?
It feels good, but a bit cold
It's quite interesting. Are historical themes really cold themes?
The app has been updated with a caring and cold theme. Emm, it's really quite chilling when you click on it. Warm. (づ ●─● )づ
The author is great, but the layout is a bit dense. It is recommended that the paragraphs should not be too long. It would be better if there are appropriate blank lines.
Paragraph,,,, there are too many words, I can't read it
