Empire at its zenith-yet under the setting sun, new storms rise. An assassination of the Chancellor tears open the illusion of mid-Tang splendor, and with it, this book begins. Drums of war thunder through Chang’an, as blood and iron quell rebellion and proclaim the 'Yuanhe Restoration.' Emperors and ministers carve their grand designs, while amidst the clamor of the 108 Fangs, a young commoner, Shen Youzhi, begins his own struggle with fate-quietly, with pen and lifeblood. In the lines he writes, his joys and sorrows become inseparable from the pulse of the Tang, shaping a living 'legend of the people.' He learns that life admits no perfection, yet chooses to face the ordinary with courage: scaling the first mountain of the 'self,' and turning toward the second-'selflessness.' This is not a tale of power, but of a question: What is true strength? Not arrogance, not conquest, but the courage to embrace the world after seeing its truths. The stage of the Tang is vast-not only emperors and generals, but also the lone bravery and quiet tenderness of ordinary souls. For in truth, what is strength in this world, if not the vastness of one’s heart?
