A Hundred Years of Knocking

Dayong collapsed, and the mountains and rivers were broken. Zhao Heng's soul traveled through the world as a subjugated prince surviving in troubled times, and found a strange secret spirit in the ruins of the war. It has no intelligence, does not distinguish between good and evil, and only answers every question faithfully. It is a sharp weapon to quell chaos, and it is also a double-edged sword hanging over the head of the dynasty. With this artifact, Zhao Heng created a new dynasty on the scorched earth. When he was dying, he left his ancestors' instructions: This thing can be used, but it cannot be trusted. But the human heart is the hardest to control. In the following hundreds of years, more than twenty emperors appeared one after another. The heroic ruler uses it to plan the world; the mediocre ruler knows the good strategy, but is afraid of the cost and dare not implement it; the foolish ruler only wants to listen to the words that suit his ears. Utensils remain unchanged throughout time, but what changes over and over again is always human desire, cowardice and ambition. When the prosperous age falls and the dynasty collapses again, a secret book sealed for generations will reveal the differences that were buried in the past. This is an interrogation between human nature and tools that spans a hundred years. A slow-burning epic that emphasizes the rise and fall of power and people's speculation. It is unsystematic and not without brains.
