COLD OPEN] Black screen. The sound of rain on stone. A single drumbeat. NARRATOR (V.O.): Ten clans held up the sky of the Sheng Empire for three hundred years. Tonight, the sky loses one. Fade in: the Grand Hall of Judgment, capital city of Tianjing. Rain hammers the high windows. Hundreds of officials in black-and-gold robes line both sides of a long crimson carpet. At the far end, on a raised dais, sits the throne — empty. Beside it, a lower seat: EMPRESS REGENT ZHEN, mid-30s, cold-eyed, unreadable. Kneeling on the carpet: LIN ZHENG (Zhao's father, 40s, dignified even in chains), LIN WAN (Zhao's older sister, 17), and LIN ZHAO (15, trying to keep his face still).

NARRATOR (V.O.):
Ten clans held up the sky of the Sheng Empire for three hundred years. Tonight, the sky loses one.
Fade in: the Grand Hall of Judgment, capital city of Tianjing. Rain hammers the high windows. Hundreds of officials in black-and-gold robes line both sides of a long crimson carpet. At the far end, on a raised dais, sits the throne — empty. Beside it, a lower seat: EMPRESS REGENT ZHEN, mid-30s, cold-eyed, unreadable.
Kneeling on the carpet: LIN ZHENG (Zhao's father, 40s, dignified even in chains), LIN WAN (Zhao's older sister, 17), and LIN ZHAO (15, trying to keep his face still).](https://media.mangaart.com/ab8b2ecd-4cd7-4189-b660-b6cfbfc55686-thumbnail.jpg)
