[War, Founding a Nation, Raising a Child, A Small Ensemble Cast]
[An Alternate Qin-Han-Era Setting, Including Customs and Forms of Address]
[Those who do not understand me ask what I seek. (From the Book of Songs: Millet Shoots)]
A tyrant's harsh rule has thrown the realm into rebellion.
Everyone is looking for a worthy leader to serve.
But Wei Zhi and his wife, Xu Qi, are the capable ministers everyone most wants to recruit, and they have gone and chosen the most hopeless faction of all.
Their subordinates cannot understand it.
Holding his son, Wei Zhi gives a little hum. "She and I both prefer raising someone from scratch."
*The overall tone will be lighthearted, though at its heart this is still a romance between a young married couple.
*The character "Qi" in Xu Qi's name is not derogatory. This will be explained in the story.
Theme: Striving to survive.
