Won the first prize of the 2022 National Excellent Novel Award from "Legends of Modern and Ancient Times". Exclusive historical materials fill the gaps in history. The work relies on the background of three major historical materials: "New and Old Tang Books", "Shangguan Zhaorong's Epitaph" and "Shangguan Family Tree", and is closer to a true reconstruction of Shangguan Wan'er's life. It uses a unique and brand-new perspective in the novel's style to interpret the life of an ancient woman who suffered bizarre hardships, was talented, cared about the country and the people, was glorious, and was famous in history.
The purpose of this book is to highlight the broad-minded state of Shangguan Wan'er, an eternal and extraordinary woman in the Tang Dynasty. The interests of the country are above all else, the country is the greatest, and the people are the first. This idea runs throughout the text.
Highlights of the work: 1. It fills in two little-known pieces of history. First, the content of Guan Zhaorong's epitaph, and second, some contents recorded in Shangguan's family tree. 2. In order to improve readability and break through traditional techniques, the ending adopts the idea of traveling through the realms of heaven and earth to reach a community of human destiny, satisfying the readers' emotional space.
The book starts from the time when Wan'er is about to be born, and ends when Shangguan Wan'er is killed by Li Longji during the Tang Long coup in 710 AD. The story has twists and turns, with new content and unique ideas.

So well written! It's like experiencing that distant era. I burst into tears. Although Wu Ma and Xiang Yun don't have much writing, they are touching and I like them very much. It's a pity that they are both dead. Cry me to death
A very beautiful tree
