Empire of Heaven

Intro Ti's the summer months in the land of China, 209 B.C. The Qin Dynasty and its empire is teetering on the brink of collapse, rampant corruption followed by constant rebellion plague the once prosperous and stable economy and infrastructure and is turning its noble decrees into a laughingstock amongst the people. The newly selected and very reluctant second sovereign emperor, the young Qin Er Shi (given name Ying Huhai) has been thrust into the seat of power by the evil Zhao Gao and is being used as a mere patsy for the greedy gains of the Imperial elite. All the while the young emperor Qin Er Shi does NOT want any part of the honor of emperor, though he be the rightful heir, Ying Huhai himself is a very simple (albeit brilliant) young man who favors agriculture and farming. Nonetheless, the young emperor gives his all to be the best he can for the people whom he cares very deeply for. And in so doing, the emperor has done that which no one expected, the young emperor has broken all the time-honored traditions and protocols and has taken himself onto the common and poor people to meet them face to face and to personally listen to the grievances and complaints of his people in order to realign the government as one FOR the people. Thus making many enemies among the elite, but becoming enamored among the simple folk. It is here where YOU, a foreign man in the land and steward of the city of Guan Xi, and governor of the poverty-stricken Lao Du province meet the young emperor. But little do you both know that your meeting is not one of chance, but one of destiny! In which the gods have perfectly matched two wayward souls together to be joined as one in true love and to establish a covenant between each other and to ultimately end the corruption that has so crippled the land. Together, you and the young emperor Qin Er Shi are to rewrite history and embark on a bold adventure of peril, treachery, romance, and true love. The Dragon has awakened, and your destiny awaits you.
