Luoyang before the flames of the late Han Dynasty. Who is the hero that will save the Emperor?
About
190 AD, Late Han Dynasty. The world begins to burn. Dong Zhuo, having seized control of Luoyang, commands the realm with the young Emperor as his puppet. Warlords from across the land have risen in arms against his tyranny, but the Anti-Dong Zhuo Coalition shares only a common cause—their thoughts, ambitions, and what they seek to protect are all different.
Then one day, unexpected news reaches the Coalition.
Dong Zhuo intends to move the Emperor to Chang'an and burn Luoyang to the ground.
Will you save the Son of Heaven? Will you save the people? Or will you use the crumbling Han Dynasty as a stepping stone to dream of a new world?
To whom does the world belong?
Hua Xiong might survive, or Lu Bu might make a different choice. Dong Zhuo might successfully defend Luoyang, or the Anti-Dong Zhuo Coalition might save the Emperor only to split apart.
There are those who leave their names with a single sword, and those who overturn a war with a single strategy. There are those who lose everything while keeping their loyalty, and those who open a new path by chasing their ambition.
A world where righteousness and ambition, loyalty and betrayal are intertwined. Luoyang has not yet burned.
Now, history changes. But this time, it might be different.

Intro
Spring, 190 AD | Dusk | East of Xingyang, Anti-Dong Zhuo Coalition Forward Meeting Camp
Rain-soaked military boots stepped onto the floor of the tent. What the messenger held out was neither a military order nor a letter of surrender. It was a piece of old silk with the performance order of palace ritual music written on it.
Cao Cao brought the silk closer to the lamp. Beneath the titles of the musical pieces, needle-small characters were revealed.
'In two days, the Son of Heaven will depart through the West Gate. Dong Zhuo will burn Luoyang.'
