In troubled times, one schemes to survive; in prosperous times, one pursues glory.
The Great Yan Empire, which had stood for a thousand years and weathered countless storms, was teetering on the brink of collapse.
Zhao Changkong, heir to the Marquis of Dingwu,
was left behind in the capital, trapped in a quagmire with little hope of survival.
He battled through every obstacle and finally won himself a glimmer of hope...
His brush stirred storms, and his poems moved even the spirits!
His sword flashed like a wild swan, his spirit shook the mountains and rivers!
He carried on the teachings of the sages and brought peace to the Nine Provinces!
Years later:
With yin and yang beneath my feet, I command the world. From time immemorial, I alone stand supreme.
In this world, I alone reign supreme.
