Empire of the Pen: Historical Political Strategy Series

历史、政治、策略

I. Ups and Downs in the Great Yong Dynasty

"Minor Official Simulator" — You are a low-level clerk transferred from a province to Chang'an. With no imperial degree and no family background, you rely on your calligraphy and your aptitude for numbers to struggle within the lowest gears of the imperial bureaucracy. You investigate cases, reform the salt and iron monopolies, and implement policies. You witness the downfall of officials and princes, and you personally draft the indictments of your own colleagues. Behind every memorial to the throne lies a living soul.

II. Survival Trials in the Sin City

"The Sinful City, The Unsinful Clerk" — You are still that same clerk, but this time, you are transferred to the "Pure Stream Bureau" in Chang'an. Here, "betrayal" is an administrative system, and denouncing colleagues is the ladder to promotion. The city rots a little more each day, and your only sanctuary is that drafty shack in the west of the city and a bowl of hot porridge waiting for your return. You are torn between "Light" and "Ink," eventually forced to answer the question: Are you a part of this sinful city, or the only one who does not belong to it?

III. Two Worlds, The Same Struggle

Both are set in the ancient world, using strategy as your tool and politics as your chessboard. They are mirrors of each other within the Great Yong Dynasty universe: one struggling within the system, the other seeking redemption in its shadows. Regardless of the path you choose, you will experience the suffocating sensation of walking a tightrope between power and conscience.

In the future, more new worlds themed around "history, strategy, and politics" will be added. Stay tuned.
