Historical Fiction
The Whispering Walls of Liao Yang
A Tale of Loyalty, Honor, and Sacrifice in the Last Days of the Qing Empire
As the sun rose over the bustling streets of Liao Yang, the capital city of Liaodong Province, a sense of unease hung in the crisp spring air. The once-majestic city, built on the banks of the Liao River, now wore a cloak of desolation, its ornate temples and pavilions weathered by time and neglect. The sounds of hammering and sawing echoed through the streets as the city's residents toiled to complete the grandiose new imperial palace, a symbol of the Qing Dynasty's fading glory.
