Sui Emperor Yang Jian: In the Central Plains, the land was divided among warlords. After the Three Kingdoms and the Western and Eastern Jin dynasties, the Central Plains split into two opposing regimes—the Southern and Northern Dynasties. The Southern Dynasties underwent several changes until a heroic figure with an extraordinary appearance seized the throne, conquered the Northern Dynasties, and reunified the empire. This hero was Yang Jian, the founding emperor of the Sui Dynasty, known as Emperor Wen of Sui. However, the Sui Dynasty had not yet stabilized when turmoil erupted in the palace.
Chasing Li Yuan: Emperor Wen dreamed of an ominous sign and thus expelled all Li surnames from the empire. Li Yuan, a loyal general who led campaigns in the north, was demoted to Taiyuan. After Emperor Wen's second son, Yang Guang, usurped the crown, he grew resentful of Li Yuan due to his beauty and ordered an ambush to assassinate him. In the nick of time, the hero Qin Qiong arrived.
