The Scribe's Reckoning

In the dying days of the Zhao kingdom, court scribe Ji Yuan discovers proof that the execution of General Li Mu was a Qin-orchestrated conspiracy fueled by a minister's petty malice. As he digs deeper, he learns that some betrayals are born of desperation, while others are committed for pure amusement. His pursuit of truth costs him his family and his freedom, transforming him from a quiet chronicler into a desperate voice determined to leave a record that will outlast the kingdom itself—a final cry meant to topple the powerful, even if he must fall with them.
