Great Yan, the fifteenth year of Emperor Jianming's reign, the second day of the eighth month.
Yunjing City.
Its walls stretched nearly a hundred miles, towering eight zhang high, imposing as mountains.
The city had eighteen gates, four corner towers, six water gates, three hundred and seventy-two enemy platforms, and countless arrow slits.
Within its registrations were one hundred and sixty thousand households, with a population exceeding one million.
This city, aligning with the Star River above and uniting all under heaven below, was the heart of the empire, the head of the Dragon Vein, the core of Great Yan...
Streams of people surged, carriages shimmered, golden bricks paved the ground, and jade trees lined the paths.
At a glance, the grandeur of a great nation that hosted countless countries was evident; upon further scrutiny, its majesty was boundless, its opulence beyond measure.
