    Jan 22 2025

    The 520s BC in China were anything but quiet. With states like Qi and Jin vying for influence, leaders like Zichan rising to prominence, and strange omens hinting at disaster, this decade laid the groundwork for one of the most extraordinary events in Zhou history.


    Join us as we unravel the decade’s intrigue and ambition where a father steals his son's hottie bride, an evil minister schemes and schemes, while a revenge plan is hatched.


    Good stuff... don't miss it!
