Synopsis

This historical novel, approximately 1.2 million Chinese characters in length and published in three volumes, follows Wang Mang, the emperor of the Xin dynasty. Building on the author’s two-volume biographical work The True Story of Wang Mang, published in 2002 and faithful to historical sources, this book takes a fresh look at history. From a new perspective and in a literary style, it depicts the late Western Han, an age where darkness and hope intertwined and conservatism clashed fiercely with reform. It portrays courtly infighting, the corruption of human nature, social conflict, emotional bonds, and insights into life, making for a highly engaging read.

Historically Accurate, Without Making Things Up

Historical fiction has more room for worldbuilding, with vivid characters and no distortion of history. I want a satisfying read that covers dynasties, major and minor events, wars, and loyal civil and military officials, all presented in a historical setting.
