18th October 1673
The Forbidden City, Beijing, Qing Dynasty
The city of Beijing is filled with opulence, noble carriages adorned with exquisite designs passed the streets one after another, signifying how rich the centre of Chinese power was. All the buildings in the city were designed with unique Chinese architecture and images, making the city look like a completely different world, isolated from Earth.
Today was a peaceful day for the people of Beijing, it was work as usual, but suddenly a young man dressed in scholarly robes ran out and yelled out an earth-shaking news that stopped everyone in their tracks. They had their mouths agape and their eyes widened.
"What did you say?"
"Emperor Fulin is dead"
The crowd immediately gathered around the scholar who broke the news.
A man who was very excited tried to pull the scholar and drag him to the guards, his face hideous and ugly.
