Historically Accurate, Without Making Things Up
Historical fiction has more room for worldbuilding, with vivid characters and no distortion of history. I want a satisfying read that covers dynasties, major and minor events, wars, and loyal civil and military officials, all presented in a historical setting.
The Heroine Is World-Weary, Gloomy, Lazy Yet Powerful, and Doesn't Care Even If the World Is Destroyed

Participating in the competition for essays on ancient books, I made reference to "Zi Zhi Tong Jian", Lu You, "Book of the Southern Tang Dynasty", "Spring and Autumn of the Ten Kingdoms", "Unofficial History of Jiangnan" and other documents. I hope you all like it. If you like it, give it a five-star review [Blow a kiss][Blow a kiss][Blow a kiss]
This is my first time writing a long review, dedicated to this book. History is the best source of inspiration. Based on the background of the Southern Tang Dynasty, Madam has processed some characters on the basis of respecting history, making them realistic and not obtrusive. Let me tell you a few points that struck me. The first is the creation of characters. The characters in Madam's works are "imperfect", and "imperfections" are real people. For example, although Jingda Jingsui admires Yushan, he will occasionally be jealous because of his talents; for example, Yushan is not a perfect person, and the master also points out her shortcomings... I especially like the female characters in the wife's works. The second is the reasonableness of the plot. The connections between aristocratic families in this book are mostly for profit, and the encounters between characters in the book and Yushan are mostly for profit. Then there was a sharp contrast between the sightseeing tours in the early period and the life in the Western Capital in the later period. Being born in a royal and wealthy family was both a blessing and a misfortune. The third is the explanation of relevant knowledge about Buddhism. I really like the occasional stories interspersed with some Buddhist sayings. Such as "goose in a bottle". At last! ! My wife's writing is really good! ! I'm sorry to see you comment on what the author has to say. In this era when fast food literature is on the rise, it is a blessing for readers that there are still authors like you who can write what they want to write. I and I have been dealing with each other for a long time, and I would rather be me. I wish my wife everything will be successful in real life and she can write her favorite stories! !
It is good-looking and has popularized the historical knowledge of the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms period. Some of the descriptions of women in the article also correspond to the problems faced by women today. The thinking about human nature takes up a lot of space. In today's society, with the rapid economic growth and the advent of the big data era, news is exploding into people's brains and consumerism is flourishing. Okay, people's desires come very quickly, and after their desires are satisfied, they fall into a deep sense of emptiness. The book has a unique insight into the "greed" of human nature. You might as well read it in your spare time. It will give the author some traffic [cool] and let readers have something to read [shy]. It's hard to find such a book in 🍅 [almost crying]
It's good-looking, realistic and cruel, and I really want to see the heroine become the empress, but it's impossible to think about it. The wheel of history is rolling forward, Guo Rong soon conquered a large area and died young, Zhao Kuangyin wore a yellow robe, and the tragedy of the master Li Yu after the fall of the Southern Tang Dynasty was doomed.
It's very interesting. I don't know why the rating didn't go up. It should be around 9 points. The novel is logical and not an ordinary novel. Inside, you can see the survival dilemma of women. Even the aloof princess has her own helplessness.
I just read it casually at first, and then I was surprised, why is such a good book so poorly rated? The logic is rigorous, the writing is sophisticated, and the intrigues and intrigues are particularly wonderfully depicted. Regardless of the protagonist or supporting role, the upright and villains all have distinctive characteristics. They are as subtle and complex as real people in real life. There are many poor people in it, such as Jinlang, a good-for-nothing who was pampered and raised, Jinxiu, who died of illness in a foreign land with her relatives, was forgotten by her father and was cursed by her mother, Jinlin, a transparent person who has parents and relatives but no one cares about them, and Zhao Xier, who is neglected and suppressed in the deep palace and goes crazy. There are too many, and each has its own misfortune or hatefulness. There is a gap in the author's heart. Without the foreknowledge and systematic cheats in the book, he still wrote the story magnificently. I like Yushan very much and thank the author.
I really, really like the writing style of this book. First of all, I feel that although the author mostly uses a few strokes to describe the vast history or inconspicuous characters, the emotions, love, hate, and resentment can still be expressed, giving it a plain but powerful feeling. Secondly, the character of the heroine is also well shaped by the author. She is both affectionate and ruthless. She has great wisdom rather than little cleverness. She is confident and free. She does things not for anyone but for herself. This is the treasure heroine I have been looking for. Finally, I wish this book a great success. (The evaluation of the author's writing style is only part of my thoughts. My evaluation is not very good, and I can't express my feelings, but I really like this kind of writing style.)
The author's writing style is very good, and his views are also in line with my taste. The protagonist is Princess Yushan, but the novel is more of a group portrait. Historical fan fiction is actually difficult to write, especially stories that are well-known to the public can easily fail to meet readers' expectations. Being niche also has its benefits.
It's a very interesting historical fanfic, and it's the first one I've ever come across with the background of the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms. It is very charming, not a "big heroine novel", and does not have any earth-shattering career, but the heroine is more independent and clear-headed than the so-called big heroine. Everyone is lost in chaos. The heroine walks in the world alone and does not need to rely on anyone. She does everything based on her heart. Although she has gone to the deepest part of the world's entanglements, she has a kind of magnanimity and indifference that seems to be immovable.
This one is also good to read. Fortunately, I finished the previous one and opened a new one. Otherwise, I wouldn't know what to read [crying][crying]
