KUAN HUNG as Li Zhi

Li Zhi is the ninth son of Emperor Taizong (Li Shimin) of the Tang Dynasty and holds the title of Prince of Jin. After losing his mother at age nine, he was raised directly by the emperor and became his most beloved son. To outsiders, Li Zhi appears kind and gentle, staying above palace conflicts. But whether this is his true nature or just a mask, the struggle for power will eventually involve everyone.

REVIEWS NEW ONE STUDIO

"Sure, there are tons of bad endings, but with so many replayable scenes, it's actually not that punishing as a game. At the booth, even kids and casual players were having a blast. They were watching it like live theater, totally relaxed and entertained. Even when you hit a bad ending, the solid acting and gripping story still make it worth it. Honestly, all those different bad endings just add to the experience!" ——Dengeki Online (One of the top 3 major Japanese gaming media outlets)
