Synopsis

An alternate-history novel with no System, no transmigration, and no golden finger.

He was born into a distinguished family, yet his misdeeds were notorious, and his ill fame spread across the entire Qin state.

He started fighting at three, flirted with the maids at home at five, rode off on horseback at ten and stayed away for half a month, then arrived in the Qin capital at fifteen and became the most popular patron at its brothels and gambling dens within a month.

And he was also the one who took the top prize among the younger generation of the Yuwen family in mounted archery at ten, traveled to the grasslands with a diplomatic marriage mission at fifteen, killed a general in battle at sixteen, raised a rebellion at twenty after his family was wiped out, ascended the throne at thirty, and unified the realm at forty-five, ending three centuries of chaos.

An alternate-history novel set against the backdrop of the late Northern and Southern Dynasties and the era after the Three Kingdoms, fulfilling the Yuwen family’s dream of unification.

This Is More of a Discussion Thread: The Highest-Quality Historical Novels Are on Tomato Novel

I've been using Tomato for a while. It's a hub for lightweight novels to pass the time, and quality gems are rare. Overall, historical fiction has the highest average quality. Plenty of books have flaws, but you can tell the authors put in real effort. Most of the books I've finished have been historical fiction.
