About This Novel
"My Life as an Emperor" is a historical novel created by Su Tongxiu using realistic techniques and modern techniques. It is also a historical story in which Su Tong used his creative imagination to build a palace at will and blended it according to his own formula. The characters of the era and dynasty are all fictitious, but the stories told are real and believable. The work adopts a first-person narrative throughout, telling the story of an ignorant prince named Duan Bai, who became the puppet king of Xie State under the control of the old queen mother's desire for power. Although he had the power of life and death over his subjects, he lived in fear and anxiety all the time. He was a political tool used by his grandmother and mother. He wanted to resist but was unable to do so. A person who should not be an emperor, a person who has no ambition to be an emperor and is incapable of being an emperor became the emperor. No wonder Duan Bai and the crazy old palace servant Sun Xin repeated an ominous saying again and again, and the disaster of the country was coming! Disaster will strike at any time, and Duan Bai has always had a deep shadow in his heart, so he is sad and helpless. The whole novel is full of elegiac sentimentality, and is poignant.
