Início / Histórico / Intriga palaciana / The Fake Gentleman of Jiangzuo

A slave tells one small lie to get a full meal — and keeps lying until he has fooled the whole empire.

The Jin dynasty has fractured: princes at war, barbarian invasions, the north lost, the gentry fleeing south. To feed his brothers, a young slave invents a noble identity — and the con works too well. A fast-talking antihero survival story set in one of China's bloodiest eras, by a historian-author whose research backs every scheme.
