Autumn of the Zhao

By werstal

The Zhao Dynasty is on the brink of collapse. Emperor Zhao Yanliang is dying, and his Crown Prince has fallen victim to a mysterious illness that smells of poison. Within the Forbidden Palace, ruthless consorts, powerful eunuchs, and strict scholar-officials are maneuvering to control the succession. Outside the palace walls, the northern army is suffering from starvation as grain shipments mysteriously vanish, and the assassination of a prominent merchant points to a massive conspiracy. In this rigid society, where a single misplaced word can mean death, you must navigate the treacherous waters of Chang’an to uncover the truth or seize power for yourself.
