Synopsis:

In a fractured realm of seven states, the Han kingdom is perceived as vulnerable, unaware of a hidden danger within its own ranks. The formidable General Ji Wuye, a key figure in the Han military, secretly orchestrates a plan for transformation. Working alongside him are the enigmatic Four Fearful Warriors of Nightfall – specialists in military strategy, economic management, political maneuvering, and clandestine operations.

The narrative explores themes of loyalty, ambition, and the moral compromises inherent in striving for political change within a volatile world order.
