I Want to Be Emperor 我要做皇帝
By the Mandate of Heaven, may the dynasty endure forever. I have drawn on the hard-won achievements of three generations and invoked the great cause of all under Heaven. With a three-foot sword in hand, I shall become ruler of all the world. The head of the Wiman king of Joseon now hangs above the northern gate of the Han capital. The Zhao rulers of Nanyue have surrendered their lands and submitted to the empire. The Central Empire, the Celestial Empire above all nations, is about to take shape.

Disciplining the Song Dynasty 调教大宋
In the sixth year of Qingli, the Zhao Song dynasty was awash in song and dance. Then a madman arrived… He saw with his own eyes the Great Song's splendor, grace, and warmth.

The Inhuman Life of a Northern Song Scholar 北宋士大夫的非人生活
This was the era most beloved by scholars. The literati of this dynasty led an unconventional life: they didn’t have to live in constant fear of losing their heads. They could challenge the emperor and shower him with spittle, or show up at court in disheveled clothes without a care. They didn’t have to call themselves slaves and their ruler master, or sob that “if the ruler wants his subject dead, the subject has no choice but to die.” Instead, they could answer the emperor with righteous convi

Song of Everlasting Joy 长乐歌
A century of history, yet sorrow still abounds; I remember the Marquis of Changle from long ago. His hall was fragrant with flowers and thronged by three thousand guests; one sword’s frost chilled fifty provinces! Does Heaven know the ills of this mortal world? The green hills laugh at me, while the clouds beckon. I breathe in a beauty’s fragrance among the flowers, and beneath the moon I lightly sever my enemies’ heads! Victory, defeat, gratitude, and vengeance, all poured into a heart-rending
