In the first year of Jian'an, Han Xiandi Liu Xie, having just fled from the grasp of the Liangzhou warlords back to Luoyang, got his soul replaced. Before his eyes were burned palaces, an empty national treasury, and arrogant powerful ministers; in the distance were warlords each occupying a region, and a fractured realm of mountains and rivers. Dong Cheng advised him to move east to Xu County, to become a peaceful puppet under Cao Cao's wing; Han Xian forced him to grant official titles indiscriminately, using the Son of Heaven's majesty as a chip for his own promotion. Everyone treated him as a rubber stamp to be manipulated in troubled times, a last emperor destined to "surrender" the state. But no one knew that the soul inside this body was determined to defy the heavens and change its fate. Not going to Xu County, never admitting defeat!
