[250,000 words and counting!] For over a thousand years, Kowloon has survived hidden deep underground, its people convinced they are the last of humanity. The Yaozhi Dynasty has ruled unchallenged, its divine right to rule absolute. Yaozhi Keung, nephew to the Emperor and lieutenant in his elite Kingmaker gang, hunts the Yang: radical Dongists bent on fulfilling religious prophecy. When Keung executes Jian, a key Yang leader, the rebellion should have died with him. Instead, it erupts uncontrollably: A new leader seizes control in South Kowloon, steering the Yang down an even more violent path, and the loyalties of the Emperor's 66-districts being to crack. Now Keung and his Kingmakers face impossible orders in a mega-slum city changing faster than they can keep up. Worse yet, something has alerted the nations high above. After a millennium of secrecy, the surface world has discovered Kowloon still exists. - 4-6k word chapter lengths - Political drama- High-impact martial-arts- Interesting worldbuilding- Hong Kong noir- No harem
