Synopsis

When heroes rise, the world falls into chaos. Strategists abound, and warfare is a game of deception. Fate is fickle, and only virtue and merit endure. This book weaves history into a fast-paced, tense plot, touching on countless subjects and giving you plenty to talk about. It also strives for historical accuracy, preserving the official history of ancient China through the Jin dynasty, then imagining the turbulent era from the fourth to the tenth century as the backdrop for an epic saga.

The first ten chapters move quickly, but focus mainly on laying the groundwork. After that, the story brings you dramatic twists and turns, lighthearted comedy, vast battlefields, perilous assassinations, earth-shattering romance, and power struggles involving regicide and usurpation. The novel is vividly cinematic: close your eyes, and the scenes play out like a movie. So savor every word. There are a few passages in classical Chinese, where a handful of characters convey a wealth of information! Here’s a little secret: even the author gets hooked rereading their own novel -_-!

The writing of this book is good, but the scenes are a bit too grand. The events of only two or three countries in the Qing Dynasty are comparable to those of the Seven Heroes of the Warring States Period. However, the story structure is very compact and reflects a lot of life and social philosophy. Why do I feel that the author is euphemistically explaining to readers the sinister nature of people's hearts and the various pitfalls, which are a bit like anti-fraud propaganda. If you don't read it as a story, the knowledge points in it can also make people feel immersed in it. Does Liu Jiuyang's love story need to be so cruel? I feel so sorry for him. Generally speaking, reading is better than listening to the book. If you are reading, there are some words at the end of each chapter. The author has something to say, which you cannot see when listening to the book. I think there are always updates, and there will be some supplements to special knowledge points, which is very good. The main problem now is that it is only 200,000 words, too few, and there are too many updates. If this can be kept like this and it is not unfinished, it will still be an epic masterpiece comparable to The Lord of the Rings 😏

I have read more than 70 chapters of this article. The first ten chapters did not interest me particularly. After that, especially the vivid performances of Jia Qiong and Liu Jiuyang, they began to attract me. Moreover, the later plot is very fast-paced and step-by-step. There are not many pitfalls. Basically, any pitfalls must be filled. I personally think it is quite good. Most of the knowledge introduced in the book is not fictional, but contains real historical facts, such as sword manufacturing, the history of Confucius, and details of the art of war. This is something I did not expect. And my writing skills also began to improve later on. The world is vast and you can wander around! I am now free and guilt-free, and I can spend the early autumn as I please! I hope the author will make more updates and complete the book as soon as possible without finishing it 🤭!
