Prologue
By the time Da Xuan was pa.s.sed down to the seventh Emperor Xiao Wen, it had long since declined from its original state. After Emperor Xiao Wen’s pa.s.sing, Emperor De Jia succeeded the throne. Ignorant yet arrogant, with harsh and demanding taxation—the citizens of Da Xuan have no way to survive, causing unceasing rebellion all over the country.
After ten years of his reign, Emperor De Jia met his demise. Subsequently, the Crown Prince Su Yuanan succeeded the throne. The t.i.tle, Emperor De Xi, left its mark in history as the last emperor.
The Dynasty had reached an end, with no path for retreat.
There was limited information recorded in official history regarding this emperor; his five years of reign were both ludicrous and tyrannical. After the rebel army appeared, he was immediately defeated, captured with death by suicide.
However—--
There was such a woman, who stood amidst the whirlpool. She witnessed the rise and fall of a dynasty, the love and hate of this emperor.

Meow Meow: I was actually meant to translate this book however... I gave up on this after reading the prologue. As much as I enjoy reading tragedy, I really can"t translate it. So now, I"ve officially become Lin"s editor.
Lin: Dear readers, I guess you have to thank Meow Meow for pushing me into this pit... sigh
