Tang and Song Dynasty Historical Novels
Looking for books like *Serving Song*. Any novels that follow historical logic, are well written, don't vilify historical figures too much or make the protagonist ridiculously overpowered, and have the protagonist either study under a historical figure or take one on as a disciple, ultimately saving the dynasty?

If Li Yu was not an emperor, but just a prince who indulged in the mountains and rivers, then he might be more free, but he would not be able to marry such two gorgeous sisters. And since he is an emperor, he is destined to bear the heavy responsibility if he wants to wear the crown. However, the demise of the Southern Tang Dynasty was determined by the general trend of the world. Even so, Li Yu resisted for many days in the battle with Zhao Kuangyin, who was a strong enemy and a weak one.
Jiuwan Zhilan is an allusion from Qu Yuan. It not only refers to the historical and cultural landmark of Zigui, Hubei, but also is a symbol of orchids and noble character. The origin of Qu Yuan's "Li Sao": "Nine Wans" first came from the sentence "I both nourish the orchids in the nine buns, and tree the rhizome in the hundreds of acres" in Qu Yuan's "Chu Ci·Li Sao". "Wan" is an ancient unit of area (about twelve acres or thirty acres), which refers to the large area of land where Qu Yuan planted orchids. The symbolic meaning of Zhilan: "Zhilan" is the elegant name of orchid. The ancients often used it to describe noble moral character, beautiful environment or the friendship between gentlemen. For example, "Living with good people is like entering a house of orchids" in "Confucius' Family Sayings", which emphasizes the influence of the environment on people.
