The Autumn Hunt use to be a casual event masked up as a fun gathering but in fact a stage to show off their talents.
Men compete and boast about their abilities, all in while saying they were simply comparing notes and having friendly conversations.
But their gaze is sharps as they weight each other's worth. What they are hunting were, in fact, one another.
And then, Jiang Yu sat into the dragon throne and another purpose got attached to the Autumn Hunt.
'All hunted games will be offered in goodwill to the lesser provinces,' the emperor declared.
It was in time for winter too. A time where the commoners are a lot more desperate. The perfect moment to light up the masses' expectations towards the ones that run the kingdom.
The emperor even made a public display of it. Giving rewards to the best hunters and announcing it to the whole nation to know.
'How cunning,' the ministers thought. The emperor drags them and throws them right into the pit.
