Are there really no stories like this on Tomato Novel? Where are the tales of sleeping with beauty on your arm and waking to command the world? Ideally, the protagonist should be ruthless, wield power over the realm, and be highly resourceful.
Honestly, Li Qiu Is Absolutely Unmatched in Tang Dynasty Stories
The way he portrays Changsun Wuji is so true to life. He's an uncle who serves his country, its people, his family, and his clan. This is the most realistic portrayal of Chancellor Changsun I've ever seen.

Tang Dynasty Novels Are So Awful, All the Same Stories About Early Tang and Zhenguan
The only book I can think of is *Tang Plotting the World*, which is set in Emperor Gaozong’s era. There isn’t another one after that. After all, if the story goes a little further forward in time, Li Bai, Du Fu, Du Mu, Bai Juyi, and Li Shangyin are all born, and it gets harder to show off with poetry. Even this topic of mine has been derailed.

In the grand narrative of the prosperous Tang Dynasty, we are used to seeing the brilliance of emperors and the grace of poets, but few people see those tiny figures at the feet of Chang'an. This book focuses on these ordinary people buried in the dust of history. They live like ants, but they want to earn a chance to live with dignity in a troubled world where the building is about to collapse. There is no legend of fighting and iron horses, there is only the struggle to survive; there is no extravagant hope of leaving a name in history, there is only the stubbornness of "we really existed". The author uses delicate brushstrokes to make these silent "worms" speak out, allowing us to understand the hard work and unwillingness of countless little people behind the glory of the prosperous age. This is not only an elegy of the Tang Dynasty, but also a passionate tribute dedicated to all ordinary lives - it turns out that the most moving thing in history is never the grand narratives, but the glimmer of light that refuses to be extinguished in the dust.
The earthworms shake the trees, the water can carry the boat but also overturn it, the embankment of a thousand miles breaks in the ant nest, and the prosperity of the people is painful; the death of the people is painful, and the princes and generals are in peace... The work is written from a small point, with small details and a fallen leaf to tell the world's autumn. I strongly recommend friends to read it carefully and taste it [like][like][like]
They were born to be ants, but they did not change their aspirations. Chang'an in the prosperous age was accumulated by the blood and sweat of each worm, but they were never allowed to enjoy the glory of this prosperous age. The collapse of the building is not the purpose of the worms. They just want to live with more dignity and not be swallowed up by the mud and dust of this prosperous age. There have been many ups and downs, but the books of history will never leave a single line of text for us. What is buried in the dust is the most real memory. We can die, but we cannot be forgotten, because we really existed. Come on, come on, come on
This is a good novel that you can stay up late to read. There is a group of people with humble status, but they can move the earth. In Chang'an Street in the Tang Dynasty, there was such a group of people, and the bustling avenue cannot be separated from them. The novel has a reasonable structure, clever conception and smooth writing. Good book
Earthworms are no different from all living beings. We are also ordinary beings here. The value of existence is not whether they are princes, generals or prime ministers, but whether they have fought hard, protected, chased the sunshine, and yearned for freedom and warmth in their short lives. This is a good story, with a clever plot, interesting stories, and vivid and fluent language. The prosperity of the Tang Dynasty and the loneliness of the Tang Dynasty are all wonderfully interpreted in the story. Worth reading carefully, recommend to friends
The author's writing is so good. I remember hearing this sentence once: "Can a firefly dare to compete with the bright moon?" But no matter how small the firefly's light is, it is still brighter than the moon that does not emit light, right? No matter how weak they are, they are still creatures that exist between heaven and earth. Just like the people of Chang'an, they should not be ignored or forgotten. They should have a share in this prosperous Tang Dynasty.
This novel is quite high-end, even though it is an ephemeral existence [Like] It has the flavor of the Twelve Hours of Chang'an [Chigua] The writing is magnificent, the plot is compact, and the logic is online. The five-star praise is for encouragement [Sneaky smile]
The entry point of the novel is different from ordinary historical novels. It is not the high-ranking emperors, nobles and generals and heroes, but describes the other side of the prosperous times from the perspective of the lower class. It is refreshing. It seems to be a very new attempt for historical novels. Therefore, the plot is slow and requires patience. I hope the author can be patient and write better works. It's getting better [laughs]
"Twelve Flies in Chang'an" is set in the Tang Dynasty and tells the thrilling story of the "Twelve Flies" organization disrupting Chang'an. The characters in the book are delicately portrayed, and the plot is compact and exciting, fully displaying the crisis of prosperity and the struggle of human nature.
Reading this novel makes my blood boil, as if I have returned to the ancient battlefield. I saw the flash of swords and the shadows of swords, and the horses drank from the glacier. The soldiers had no clothes on their bodies and no food on their bellies. They were living and dying in an instant, but they didn't know who they were fighting for. The author uses rich historical knowledge to describe real war scenes to us. The plot of the novel has ups and downs and is worth reading. The novel is so well written that I read it again.
