This is a Tang Dynasty that has gone astray, with imperial power waning and the empire nearing its end. This was yet another era in which empires and aristocratic families coexisted. Fifteen years ago, the An Lushan Rebellion was finally quelled, but the Uyghurs coveted the Tang Dynasty's vulnerability, drinking from the Central Plains and causing immense suffering. Under these turbulent circumstances, the Tang Empire was on the verge of collapse. The seven great families joined forces to expel the barbarians and restore the country, but they also gradually amassed their own power and agreed to take turns serving as prime ministers, each ruling the court for five years. The protagonist, Zhang Huan, is the lowest-ranking illegitimate son in the Zhang family of Hedong. However, one day, he suddenly discovers a huge secret hidden in his own background. From then on, Zhang Huan embarks on a difficult and dark path. (The history in this book is entirely fictional.)
