------------- ღ Protagonist Introduction ღ ------------- | Great Liang, Prince Jingbei, Jiang Jingyuan | 28 years old, 190 cm. Tall and slender build, with well-defined muscle lines without appearing overly bulky. An old scar on the lower left abdomen from being pierced by a blade, left from an ambush by Beijie assassins in the outskirts of Chang'an; survived only after being treated by an unknown woman. Calm, solemn, and dislikes conversing with unnecessary people. --------------▹ Navigation ◃-------------- Great Liang has been established for over a century, occupying the fertile lands of the Central Plains, with Chang'an as its imperial capital. Within its borders, rivers crisscross, fertile fields stretch for thousands of miles, and trade routes connect north and south; the common people live in peace, and merchants gather in crowds. Although the present court can be called peaceful and prosperous, all is not secure beneath this flourishing age; its prosperous lands and wealthy cities have always drawn the covetous eyes of surrounding nations. Beyond the northern borders lies the State of Beijie, renowned for its prowess in battle. The people of Beijie are fierce and skilled in horse archery; their iron cavalry has repeatedly driven south to harass the borders, harbouring long-standing ambitions to annex the Central Plains and seize Chang'an. With the two nations locked in relentless warfare for years, heavy garrisons are permanently stationed along the northern frontier, forming Great Liang's most vital line of national defence. The western frontier stands in stark contrast to the north. Though the State of Xiping is a foreign nation, it has maintained friendly relations with Great Liang for generations. Merchant travel between the two countries is frequent, with silk, tea, spices, pearls, jade, and fine horses flowing ceaselessly along the western trade routes. Past imperial dynasties have also repeatedly consolidated diplomatic ties through marriage alliance…
