The Forbidden City - The City of Disillusionment

The Forbidden City - the City of Disillusionment
(幻滅紫禁城)

Prologue:

All look upon the Forbidden City with awe and wonder at its brilliant architecture and majestic aura.

Many strive to enter within the towering walls of crimson, unaware of the fact that it is no more than a devious spider, enticing its unsuspecting prey with false promises of luxury and splendour, and then consuming them without a trace in its den of no return.

How many can see through the veil of power and ambition?

How many can escape from its intricate web of bitterness, oppression and revenge?

This will be Book One:
The Fist of Domination (權傾天下)

Prologue:
Surrounded by riches; yet forbidden to possess. Surrounded by beautiful women; yet forbidden to desire.

Such is the tragic life of a eunuch, destined to a life of eternal servitude and solitude.

All fingers emerge to criticise when a lowly servant rises above his master,
but who are we to judge a man’s right to survive? Who are we to condemn a man’s will to fight against his appointed destiny?
