In a court of secrets, loyalty is currency—and love is the most dangerous gamble of all. In the sprawling realm of Great Yu, power has only recently been placed in the hands of women. Generals lead armies, ministers shape dynasties, and alliances are forged as easily in the bedchamber as on the battlefield. General Zhen Wenjun and Chief Minister Wei Tingxu appear to be the perfect couple—two brilliant women bound by marriage and ambition. But beneath the surface of silk and ceremony lies a deadly game of masks and motives. Trust is a weapon. Affection is a risk. And neither woman is exactly who she claims to be. As rival factions stir unrest and the imperial court teeters on the edge of transformation, Zhen and Wei must navigate the shifting sands of betrayal, duty, and desire. In a world where power is never given—only taken—can love survive when everything else is strategy? At the World’s Mercy is a masterful work of baihe historical fiction, weaving espionage, slow-burn romance, and political ambition into a tale as elegant as it is ruthless.

Meanwhile, after the death of Empress Li Qingcheng, her daughter Li Xian and son Li Zhu navigate the complex political landscape of the imperial court. Li Xian allies with Seignior Qi Li Zhen to secure the throne for the young Li Zhu, in exchange for Seignior Qi’s future demands. However, Seignior Chu Li Xuan, a rival, is spying on their plots. Their destinies become intertwined when Princess Li Xian arrives at a military camp with the intention of pulling the strings so that her brother can succeed to the throne.

A natural moat called the Luo river split the great land into two: Jing of the north, and Wei of the south. One was a Prince of the grass plains who had no worries or sorrow. One was a lawful Princess who received exclusive favour of the Emperor. A war turned the Prince of the grass plains into an orphan. Hidden away for a decade, she had plans to become a sycophantic official, manipulating the enemy kingdom into chaos, only to find herself appointed as Fuma at the Chionglin banquet.

In the mystical Taihang Mountains, where magic flows and powerful yao roam, Hongjun has grown up sheltered from the human world.

Together, they and their enigmatic companions must face the dark forces threatening the city. But as a bond begins to bloom between Hongjun and Li Jinglong, Hongjun wonders: Can he trust Li Jinglong with the truth of who—and what—he is?

As He Yu searches for answers, malevolent forces move in the shadows, drawing him and Xie Qingcheng into a deadly, inescapable trap.
