The Kingdom of Shu seeks to reunify China after the collapse of the Ming Dynasty in the 1400s. This is a 45-page short story that seeks to be a short, yet epic tale of a nearly two-century long period of upheaval and civil war. This is a story of political intrigue, heroic deeds, epic conquests, and betrayal. This is my 45-page long historical fiction I wrote based off of a Europa Universalis campaign in which I, playing as the country Shu (which I call Later Shu in the title to distinguish it from the real-life kingdoms of Shu [~300 BC] and Shu-Han [221-263 AD]), sought to reunify China after the collapse of the Ming Dynasty. The style I wrote this in is inspired by Chinese texts -- novels like Romance of the Three Kingdoms, and historical texts such as the Book of Jin, Spring and Autumn Annals, etc. As such, there is a mix of hard "historical" facts/numbers, moved along by light narrative and prose. In short, this is pretty much a story in the style of "embellished historical document." I spent a lot of time researching Ming Dynasty era China to make the finer details in this book as plausible as possible. However, this was written and edited over the period of 3-4 years during my free time as a full-time college student that has a ton of other papers and books to read and write, so I couldn't get as detailed and fleshed out as I would have liked. It's also my first time seriously writing a "significant" piece of fiction (and a nearly 50-page document in general), so I don't want to make it sound like I'm claiming to be the next Luo Guanzhong or anything. If you're seeking a historical fiction light reading, and the unique "embellished document" style sounds interesting, this might be for you. Thank you for reading
