The Jin Court and the Han

Mountains frequently look back, while the ocean is never forgotten. On the day Jiang Wei fell amidst the fires of Chengdu, the final twilight of the great Han Empire was utterly extinguished. Standing over his lifeless body, the men of Jin extracted a bitter gall bladder the size of a peck, gazing at one another in stunned silence. The Western Jin Empire was founded upon this victory, yet the path of its future was agonizing; forty years later, the land was filled with wailing, the Nine Provinces were plunged into devastation, bones littered the earth, and the starved filled the roads like clouds. Amidst this apocalyptic chaos, driven by a profound sense of duty and destiny, Liu Xian—great-grandson of Liu Bei and the native-born Heir of the Duke of Anle—embarks on a journey of restoration. Tracing the footsteps of his mentor and the ancestral heroes of Han, he crosses paths once again with the descendants of old rivals and allied dynasties, including the bloodlines of Cao Cao, Sun Quan, Lu Xun, Lu Zhi, and Xun Yu. Forged through fierce political struggles and brutal warfare, he undergoes a remarkable transformation and soars to new heights. Starting his journey entirely alone, he looks back to find himself surrounded by the universal acclaim and loyalty of a nation.
