The emperor's sons have long been engaged in a relentless struggle for power, and the news of the arrival in the capital of the unmatched genius and strategist Mei Chansu has only poured more oil on the fire.

For this, he is ready to do anything: discard past attachments, stake his own life, and shake the foundations of the Celestial Empire.
