I Want to Be Emperor.

Summary

The narrative unfolds in Nan Chi, a region still recovering from the devastation of the Han Chao army two years prior. The Hu Jie people, primarily herders, struggle with unsuitable farming conditions despite abundant water. King Qie Zhi meets with Lan Tuo Xin, who expresses concern over a potential Han attack on Henan due to weakened Xiongnu forces.
