Everyone knows how mysterious the Xia Dynasty was, but few pay attention to one of its rulers: Han Zhuo, who held power for forty years as emperor and another twenty as prime minister, wielding the authority of the Xia Dynasty for sixty years. Perhaps history forgot him, or perhaps the literati distorted his story.
This is a novel, and its plot is entirely fictional. It tells the story of the events surrounding Han Zhuo's era. Some real historical figures appear, but readers are kindly asked not to take things too seriously. This is a work of pure literature, not a historically accurate novel.
The story is full of twists and turns, beautifully written, and moving. It is well worth a read. Han Zhuo and the women around him bring this story to life. Human nature, power, schemes, open plots, assassination, and love permeate every chapter.
