The Ming, Song, and Tang Dynasties
Are there really no stories about the Liao, Jin, Yuan-Mongol, Dali, and Tubo? Is it because there aren't enough sources or historical records? Did we all have different textbooks in our nine years of compulsory education? Do I have to look up local gazetteers?

I advise you to update more frequently when you have free time, instead of being ungrateful and forcing me to kneel down and beg you.
Hmm, as for Kongming lanterns, I remember reading about them in some book, but I can't quite recall. I remember a passage mentioning that Emperor Xuanzong of Tang released these lanterns at a banquet, though they weren't called Kongming lanterns. I can't quite remember, but they definitely existed in the Tang Dynasty.
There are some mistakes, but I still like the writing style. I don't like political intrigue; I prefer this lighthearted style.
It's not bad, but the details are a bit lacking. You can tell some research was done, but some parts are rushed and feel careless. I recommend a very good book, *The Great Tang Dynasty*, for your reference. This book, besides describing the Crown Prince, Dukes, and a large group of brothers working together, has too few chapters and is a bit exaggerated.
It's beautiful; I love this kind of harmonious family scene.
This is one of the best transmigration stories set in the Tang Dynasty that I've read so far, even more to my liking than Li Ke, who had a strategic warehouse. He accomplished everything he wanted to do and everything that needed to be done. He relinquished fame and fortune, or at least a portion of them, and he himself acted with brotherly respect and affection. The initial character development was perfect; now it's up to the author to write the later stages and the ending.
The harmonious and happy royal life
We can still keep striving and working hard.
If you want to be a tough guy, read ten chapters a day.
The overall plot of this book focuses on family harmony, filial piety, and brotherly love, without any fratricide. The protagonist effectively acts as a mediator, without any ambition. The ending is also good; although it's brief, it's a satisfying conclusion. If you like stories about powerful nations, no harem elements, and brotherly love, you should check this out. It's a good read.
