Yongjing looks peaceful on the surface, but in truth it's a place that devours people whole.
Framing and assassinations are commonplace. Take one wrong step, and there's no way back.
In the tenth year of Yonghe, the Hu Kingdom, which had surrendered years ago, suddenly attacked the northern frontier. The Marquis of Zhenbei was ordered to put down the invasion. When he returned to the capital, he brought back the heir of the Marquis of Chuan'an, who had been dead for years. An unforeseen turn of events unleashed a storm without end.
"Once you're inside this cage, you have to play your part. The first to falter is the first to die."
"The Great Yong of today is at the end of its strength, riddled with corruption within and beset by powerful enemies without."
