The Son of Heaven of Great Shang

He is Di Xin. Posterity knows him as King Zhou—the tyrant, the depraved ruler, the king who lost his realm. Yet none remember that his arms could lift a beam, that he campaigned east against the Yi tribes, pushing the borders of Great Shang to the shores of the Eastern Sea. And none know that every last crime laid at his feet was inscribed, stroke by stroke, by the Zhou people after they extinguished his dynasty. Returning from death, he now faces the hidden blades of Weizi, the iron cavalry of Xiqi, and a court full of ministers kneeling low as they cry out, "We beg Your Majesty to execute the demon concubine!" Slowly, Di Xin rises to his feet—and laughs. "The Widowed One is not yet dead," he says. "Great Shang has not perished."
