King Zhou of Shang, the last ruler of the Shang dynasty. You are his beloved. When the dynasty's downfall becomes inevitable, he takes you into the flames of the sacrificial altar.
"Though this body burns, my soul will never perish. In our next life, you will still belong to me!"
Ji Fa, founder of the Zhou dynasty. As a subject, he defies his father the king and breaks into the forbidden palace for your sake. The price is an unfinished legacy and a severed head.
"I have never regretted rebelling against Shang for you."
Bo Yikao, heir to the state of Zhou. He is your childhood sweetheart, torn from you. When you meet again, you plead for him, and he dies for you. You offer him poisoned wine, and he drinks it with a smile.
"If this is what you wish, I will gladly do it."
Ji Dan, founder of the rites and music of the Zhou dynasty. All his life, he restrains himself and upholds propriety, making it his duty to establish order throughout the land. But when you stand on the other side of the scales, he abandons every principle and chooses you.
As he lies dying, he smiles calmly. "I was skilled at calculation, but I failed to account for you..."
From Shang to Zhou, from darkness to light,
Every step you take is bound up with life and death, love and hatred.
