He was a nameless scholar—an obsessed historian who lived only for one purpose: to uncover the truth about Emperor Jin Muyeon, the most feared and vilified ruler in ancient history.
To the world, Emperor Muyeon was a tyrant who razed cities, slaughtered the royal Shi bloodline, and seized power through blood and betrayal. He even took the princess of the Shi Dynasty as his bride—the daughter of the very king he killed. But the historian saw through the myths. Jin Muyeon was once a broken child, born in chains, forged by cruelty and war. His reign, though brutal, was not without reason.
