It's 1750 and you've always wanted to work in China's Forbidden City. But you better be careful. The emperors are impossible to please. Their informants are everywhere. And if you make a mistake, you, your friends, and your family will all pay — with your lives!

The Forbidden City is a palace complex in Dongcheng District, Beijing, China, at the center of the Imperial City of Beijing.
