About This Novel

When the beacon smoke of the Warring States Period was burning fiercely on the land of the Central Plains, and when the ritual vessels of the Zhou Dynasty were teetering on the edge of the feudal princes' aspiration, the four names were like four stars, shining a brief but blazing light in that era when "scholars had no fixed masters, and the country had no fixed borders." They are Wei Wuji, Lord of Xinling of the State of Wei, a young man who dared to park his carriage under the Yimen city wall and spend an afternoon drinking with the gatekeeper Hou Ying; Zhao Sheng, Lord of Pingyuan of the State of Zhao, is the most honorable prime minister in Handan City, with three thousand guests in the mansion, but he has been The concubine laughed at the cripple and almost lost people's hearts; Mengchang Jun Tianwen of Qi State, the "local emperor" of Xue Yi fiefdom, kept retainers in his house who could learn to crow chickens and crawl into dog holes; Huang Xie, the king of Chun Shen of Chu State, was the only "outsider" among the four gentlemen who was not a member of the clan. "The Four Gentlemen of the Warring States Period" was never written with four perfect symbols. Here are the drunken eyes of Lord Xinling when he was jealous of the King of Wei, the hesitation of Lord Pingyuan when he held the map of Shangdang, the ruthlessness of Lord Mengchang when he joined Qin to conquer Qi, and the greed of Lord Chunshen when he caressed the jade. Some of them raised scholars, some for righteousness, some for fame, some for profit, and some for power; they struggled in the gaps of royal power, in the game of states, in the false reputation of "gentlemen" and the actual benefits of "survival". Open this book and you will see four ordinary people who have lived as "legends" in troubled times - they once wore bright clothes and angry horses, and were also in a state of embarrassment; they once made their disciples willing to die, and they were also crushed into dust by the times. And the wind blowing from the Warring States Period, carrying their laughter and tears, is still asking: When ideals collide with reality, when morality meets machinations, how should people deal with themselves?
