Dong Zhuo paraded him like a puppet, mocked him as a trembling hare, and laughed when he wet his robes in fear on the court floor. That was the mask. Behind it lived a mind colder and sharper than any sword. While Dong Zhuo celebrated his control, Liu Xie quietly pulled the strings. He orchestrated the fall of his tyrant through a dancer’s charm and a foster son’s blade. Dong Zhuo’s head rolled—but the boy emperor’s chains only tightened. Cao Cao took the warlord’s place.
