The term "emperor" originated with Qin Shi Huang. Over the 2,100 years from Qin Shi Huang's proclamation as emperor to Puyi, the last emperor of the Qing Dynasty, China produced 406 emperors in total. However, among these hundreds of emperors, those who could truly be called wise, mighty, and visionary—capable of expanding territory externally and enriching the nation internally—were rare indeed. The ten emperors selected in this book are all extraordinary and renowned rulers.
- Qin Shi Huang and Emperor Wen of Sui: Unified the divided Chinese continent, which had been fragmented for centuries.

- Emperor Taizong of Song: Promoted cultural governance, allowing the civilization of China to flourish.
- Cao Pi (Emperor Wu of Wei): Militarily suppressed rival lords and culturally excelled in poetry and calligraphy.
- Emperor Gaozu of Han and Emperor Zhu Yuanzhang (Hongwu Emperor of Ming): Founded new dynasties and laid the foundations for their eras.
