Features: This is a grand historical panorama centered around the decline of the Self-Strengthening Movement, weaving together dramatic stories such as the bloody battles in the northern frontier, the ambitions of foreign powers, the revenge of righteous men, and the intrigues within the imperial court. It is also the most comprehensive and epic novel to date, reflecting the turbulent late Qing era with profound depth. The vast historical scroll tells of an empire too vast to be fully described, beneath the facade of grand drama, lies hidden how much filth, darkness, and the helplessness of inevitable decline. From the boundless homeland to the bloodshed on the nine borders, from the shadows of the Tianshan Mountains to the mysterious fate of spies in the minister's mansion, seemingly factors push everything toward an irreversible and comprehensive collapse. Readers here will not only gain a thrilling plot and a masterful narrative.
