“Whoever is wedded to the princess is destined to become emperor.” Somehow, a political alliance brought them together, and the course of the empire changed forever.
The worst tyrant in Chinese history, who in a blind attempt to pursue his frivolous dreams, knowingly sentenced millions to their graves. He saw nothing but lust, gold, and corrupted power.
