Drunk in Jiuzhou: War Fires Illuminate the Western Capital

In the 314th year of the Great Qin calendar, Emperor Zhao Li, Ying Wu, ascended the throne. He murdered his father and devoured his brothers, abused his mother and violated his sister-in-law. Upon a bloodstained throne sat a tyrant despised by all under heaven. He doted on the “Three Foxes,” built the Qing Fu Tower, and sold official posts and noble titles, turning the prosperous Nine Provinces into a living hell. War erupted across the land, and feudal lords threw the Nine Provinces into chaos. The Hundred Schools of the Pre-Qin era reappeared in the world: some used their silver tongues to persuade vassal kings to declare independence; some took up butcher's knives and raised armies in the Central Plains; some traveled across the Nine Provinces in search of a worthy ruler; and even a beautiful woman plotted to restore her kingdom. The century-old clans watched from the sidelines, the Hundred Schools of the Pre-Qin made secret moves, and the court's agents and enforcers were everywhere. Who, in this game of chess, is moving the pieces? And in this chaotic age, who can bring order to the world? Don't ask me who the main character is. In these intoxicated Nine Provinces, every soul struggling to survive is the hero of their own story.
