Youzhou, the northernmost of the nine regions of Li Chu Country, contains ten cities in total, seven of which are under the control of the Zhou family. This control includes military defense, daily life necessities, and all other aspects, creating an absolute dominion. In those cities, the Zhou family is the undisputed local emperor, with insurmountable authority.
Youzhou's Huanru City, the stronghold of the Zhou family, is allegedly where the Zhou family began its development initially, having managed it for countless years. The Zhou family's ancestral home and shrine are both here, and most of the Zhou family's direct descendants and excellent branches reside in Huanru City.
Huanru City experiences distinct seasons, with pleasant spring and autumn, scorching summers, and bitterly cold winters. A massive moat, measuring over a dozen meters wide, surrounds the entire city.
