Wang Dao Yulin: the Twelve Kingdoms Aspire to Be Crowned Kings

During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, rituals and music collapsed, the Zhou Dynasty declined, the Nine Provinces and Twelve Kingdoms fought for hegemony, natural disasters occurred frequently, and refugees were everywhere. Ying Ye, the young master of the Xuanchen Kingdom, was overthrown by his uncle Ying Jie who killed his brother. His father was framed for rebellion for protecting refugees. He was forced to flee to the border and witnessed the pain of separation among the people in the troubled times. By chance, Ying Ye encounters the weak Qinglin Xuanyu, and is shocked to realize that Linglin is actually the "mirror image of the people" condensed by Dayu's Jiuding - his health is tied to benevolent government, and his decline is due to tyranny. In order to end the troubled times, he determined to explore the royal way of "governing with etiquette and law, and putting people's hearts first", and since then he has embarked on a journey to unite the countries and awaken the four spirits. Along the way, he met Ji Yao, the princess of rituals and music in Qufu Kingdom, Mo Yue, a practical and talented girl in Mozhai Kingdom, Hu Yanyue, a prairie girl in Shuofang Kingdom, and Li Hua, a talented legalist in Xuanchen Kingdom. Each of the four heroines brought their own ideas and strengths and followed him to organize rituals and music, build water conservancy, resolve ethnic conflicts, and formulate good laws. Their feelings were heated up in the process of jointly solving the crisis, and their ideas were perfected in the collision. Faced with Ying Jie's tyranny, Xilinggui's witchcraft and sorcery, and Shuofang Kingdom's grassland plunder, Ying Ye used the power of Linglin as a guide and relied on the King's Alliance to break the shackles of witchcraft, settle tribal disputes, climb Peng Mountain to obtain the Jiuding fragments, and awaken the power of the Four Spirits to advance. This road to victory in troubled times is not only the ultimate game of "power and benevolent governance" and "division and integration", but also a profound interpretation of "the destiny of the people is the people's heart". In the end, Ying Ye did not seek the right to unify, but only sought to unite the nine states to jointly promote the rule of etiquette and law and the symbiosis of nationalities, so that the people could live in peace and the troubled times would end.
