Fangs of Frustration question

"Fangs of Frustration" is a descent into the churning vortex of a nation's metamorphosis. Bai Lang chases a phantom past, a golden age that may have never existed, a fantasy incompatible with the brutal birth pangs of a modern China. This isn't your grandfather's historical fiction. This is a nuanced exploration of ambition, disillusionment, and the ghosts that linger in the long shadow of empire.
