Daji Inventing the Cruel Bronze Roasting Pillar Torture
The malevolent fox spirit Daji, possessing the body of a royal consort, manipulates King Zhou of Shang into a state of decadence and cruelty. To satisfy her thirst for blood and power, she invents the 'Pao Luo'—a massive bronze pillar heated from below—to torture and execute those who dare oppose her. This reign of terror eventually leads to the collapse of the Shang Dynasty.
