[Ancient historical fiction + alternate setting + no transmigration or rebirth + no golden finger + sound values]
The age of chaos has arrived, beset by troubles at home and abroad. The descendant of a disgraced minister seems destined to be unable to escape fate.
Who would have thought that two successful jinshi from one family would make their name in the capital, earning a chance to enter the court, root out evil and corruption, and strive to stem the tide of collapse?
A young boy, neither timid nor afraid, neither servile nor arrogant, does his utmost to make waves and clear his family’s name.
Great ministers are not so great, and minor officials are not so minor.
Alas, everything has fallen into disarray.
With drums and horns sounding across a chaotic age, heroes are sure to emerge.
Yet the dynasty’s fate is all but spent. Who can turn the tide?
All we can do is our best!
Take heart: the long night will eventually end...

This novel reminds us of the desolate period in the late Southern Song Dynasty. It is really difficult for people to live in troubled times, especially the helpless feeling that despite their best efforts, they are still unable to save themselves. Xing, the people are suffering! If we die, the people will suffer even more!
Read it carefully, the story is very interesting.
It starts out a little bland and gets more flavorful the faster it goes, which is not bad.
