The Undying Court Historian: Writing Secret Records in the Spring and Autumn Period

Everyone thought he was just a man who wrote on bamboo slips King You traded beacon fires for a smile, King Ping traded royal power for his life, Duke Zhuang of Zheng slapped the Son of Heaven in the face with wheat, Duke Huan of Qi died of thirst among maggots, and Duke Ling of Jin was so moved by his own assassin that he killed himself... Tyrants, foolish rulers, and ruthless warlords took turns on the throne, yet the court historians still had to make even their deaths sound dignified. This time, Ji Tan would write no dignified history. He was a child of eternal life. Whoever showed disrespect would go to hell. He would write it down himself.
