About This Novel
Su Dongpo is broad-minded, Wang Anshi is stubborn, Li Qingzhao is chivalrous, and Lu You is maverick. They are so free and easy that people forget that they have also suffered a critical blow in life: Su Dongpo was demoted three times in his life, to Huangzhou, Huizhou, and Danzhou, and was not pardoned until he was sixty-five years old; Wang Anshi was betrayed by his cronies when he implemented the new law and was falsely accused of treason; Li Qingzhao was deceived and domestically abused by a "scumbag"; Lu You was disqualified from the palace examination because he blocked the path of the grandson of the powerful official Qin Hui, and lost his name... Times were bad, but accepting reality was not their style. Su Dongpo turned every place of exile into his own paradise; Wang Anshi dared to defend himself in front of the emperor for his ideal of reform; Li Qingzhao would rather face the worldly ridicule and prison to find his freedom; Lu You searched up and down, actively seeking every opportunity to rush to the front line... Open this book and have the courage of "Su Dongpo" to face life head-on!
