The new emperor, who had inherited the throne less than a day ago, donned golden armor patterned with mountains and dragons devouring dragons. On his head sat a thirty-two-petal helmet with colorful phoenix wings. He carried a long riding bow with golden branches and divine-arm strength on his back, a precious Vermilion Bird saber with a wild-goose-feather blade at his waist, and a dragon-devouring crescent-bladed halberd in his hand. He gazed upon the besieged capital... This battle ensured the Ming dynasty would endure.
This is a story set in a new timeline. The Ming dynasty has split in two, and amid the conflict between the Northern and Southern Ming, a group of highly skilled freelance assassins walk the line between black and white, following their own code of conduct.
