Synopsis

[Traditional style + ensemble cast + alternate history + war + power struggle]

His benefactor, the great general, died for his country by taking his own life. Little Wuzi witnessed it but was powerless to change the outcome. Even after death, his lingering soul could not bear to fade away. By a stroke of fate, he traveled back a hundred years. The long sweep of history unfolded before his eyes like a scroll:

The great clans were arrogant and domineering. How could their power be confined to one corner? The rebel armies were fierce. How could they be allowed to dictate the worth of people by rank?

Civil officials fought for power, each seeking to rule supreme at court. Military generals carved out fiefdoms: who would tolerate another at their side?

Demons from the north launched a massive invasion, while monsters from the south ran rampant. Common folk exhausted every scheme to survive, while the powerful had their own ways of amassing wealth.

Blood flowed together into rivers, yielding gold and silver. Corpses piled into mountains, raising up merit and fame.

Everyone sought to become emperor; each and every one wanted to seize the realm. Who needs to speak of heavenly justice? What does life or death matter?

Looking across the turmoil of this chaotic age, who dares say who the true hero is!

The Pinnacle of Historical Fiction

Looking for books similar to "Tang Dynasty: Defying the Imperial Decree Is the Only Way to Get Stronger". This book makes me cry every time I read it. I've read it five or six times, and I still cry. I just can't believe anything else is better. It's the strongest historical novel in my book! An 8.9 rating is way too low. I'd give it a 9.
