[Two male protagonists + Machiavellian strategy + salvation]
With the imperial family in decline, Li Daozang was summoned to the palace and became a pawn in the game between the courtiers and the royal family. Lu Youchuan responded to his feelings and secretly protected the young marquis who was entrusted with holding up his pants and refusing to recognize anyone. Unexpectedly, the two formed a rift due to Li Daozang's indulgence when they first met. During the tit-for-tat confrontation in court and private, the two gradually came to appreciate each other, and together they sang a drama that could overturn a troubled world.
Along the way, Li Daozang saw the people and knew their diseases. Together with the general Lu Youchuan, he resisted the aliens, resolved internal troubles, and raised up the Li dynasty that was crumbling amidst internal and external troubles.
"Wars are rising everywhere, and troubled times are coming. I am willing to cut through this world for you with the knife in my hand." - Lu Youchuan
So far, it looks pretty good.
Very nice, a rare book
