The overall structure of the book is based on history, with characters and events as the latitude, and the "marriage between two generations" of Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty, Zhu Gui'er, Emperor Ming of the Tang Dynasty, and Yang Yuhuan as the general framework. It tells the legendary history of more than 170 years from the time when Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty launched his army to attack Chen to the death of Emperor Ming Dynasty of the Tang Dynasty. It is a novel. The descriptions are flexible and changeable, some are gorgeous and full of the flavor of the times, some are bold and bold, and the characters are vivid, narrating the extravagant palace life of Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty, the army of heroes at the end of the Sui Dynasty, Li Shimin unified the world, Wu Zetian's debauchery, and the romantic affairs of Emperor Ming of the Tang Dynasty and Concubine Yang. The book's sympathy for the wives of the Sixteenth Academy who wandered around the world after the fall of the Sui Dynasty, and the lament for the frustration of Qin Qiong's heroes are inextricably linked with the author's "fallen" and "difficult" mentality of the survivors after the fall of the Ming Dynasty.
