The Fall of the Tower of Temptation

The fate of all living beings is such that their aspirations are fundamentally absurd, dreams will eventually dissolve in the flow of time, and their fate will inevitably be tragic. This story took place many, many centuries ago during the... era of the Southern and Northern dynasties. In a world where power is concentrated in the hands of the Son of Heaven, and territories are divided between the emperor and his loyal advisors, the balance has been shaken. For their own ambitions, people were willing to do anything. An official from the imperial office, Cao Gui, rebelled against the emperor, destroying countless souls: his friend, official Mujun Xin, dies after drinking poisoned wine, and his wife, unable to bear such disgrace, burns down the ancestral estate and perishes in the flames. No matter how powerful the world may be in their desire to obtain what they want, one cannot disregard the will of Heaven. Emperor Yuwen Hu, intoxicated by greatness, forgot this simple truth. Corrupted by wealth and human passions, he believed he could attain immortality... And ready to assist him in this is the beautiful Qing Nyaolo. A girl capable of the most despicable acts to maintain her status as the emperor's favorite concubine. Thus begins the fall of the Yuwen clan and the dawn of a new era, marked by the creation of the Palace of Divine Grandeur.
