“He Who Drowned the World” throws you into a heart-stopping power struggle for the dominion of China. Zhu Yuanzhang, the victorious “Radiant King,” sets her sights on the ultimate prize: the Emperor’s throne. However, Zhu isn’t the only contender. A cunning courtesan, Madam Zhang, plots to place her husband on the throne, while a vengeful scholar, Wang Baoxiang, seeks to dismantle the empire from within. To survive this deadly game, Zhu must form a precarious alliance with her sworn enemy, the brilliant but volatile eunuch, General Ouyang. Each player is willing to pay any cost for victory, even if it means sacrificing the empire. “He Who Drowned the World” promises a thrilling adventure filled with political intrigue, brutal battles, and the desperation of those hungry for power.
