Picture a time in ancient China, from around 771 to 476 BC, full of turmoil and transformation. This era, known as the Spring and Autumn Period, was named after the famous "Spring and Autumn Annals," a chronicle of the state of Lu. It was a time when the Zhou dynasty's power waned, and local warlords battled fiercely for dominance, setting the stage for countless stories of intrigue, betrayal, and heroism.
