The book is quite good. To be honest, it should be rated 8.8 Or higher on Tomato Bookstore. It's likely been overrated by other authors on PDD (a Chinese online marketplace). It's another alternate history novel set in the Ming Dynasty, and frankly, the other characters who time-travel to the Ming Dynasty would likely die, especially after Zhu Yuanzhang's wife and son died.
She seems alright, but given Emperor Hongwu's temper, Lady Lü was practically finished the first time she provoked the eldest grandson! You can tell from their names: Zhu Yunwen and Zhu Yuntong both contain the fire radical, but Zhu Xiong Ying didn't care about such things at all. In Emperor Hongwu's eyes, his only daughter-in-law was Lady Chang! And his only son was Zhu Biao.
It's great, but Calvin's shots are too accurate 🤦
Keep writing, believe me, you'll do well. You can look at other people's work, trust me.
Given Zhu Yuanzhang's personality, even a fool in the Lü family could see that they were vying for the throne. Could Zhu Yuanzhang tolerate that? Zhu Yunwen was neither the legitimate heir nor the eldest son.
It's pretty good; at least the author writes the kind of stories I like.
This book is alright, but its downside is that the historical timeline is a bit messy. If you're too picky, you won't be able to enjoy it. It excels in humor, heartwarming moments, and action-packed scenes, making you laugh and cry in turns, and it's also incredibly exciting.
The most regrettable thing is that it happened to the Ming Dynasty.
The article vividly portrays the characters' thoughts and qualities through rich language and actions. The imagination is plausible, the narration natural and lively, the structure tight, the transitions smooth and coherent, and the central theme prominent.
A very good novel about the Ming Dynasty
