Synopsis

At the end of the Northern Wei dynasty, heroes rose up across the land. Gao Huan, Erzhu Rong, and Yuwen Tai vied for control of the realm. The Heba brothers, Heba Sheng and Heba Yue, made their names in that era, and men like Hou Jing and Sima Ziru were heroes in their own right. Yet their stories have rarely been told in novels. This book was written to chronicle the history of the late Northern Wei and fill in the early lives of these figures, which the history books have left obscure. The protagonist is Gao Huan, a powerful minister of Eastern Wei at the end of the Northern Wei dynasty and the man who laid the actual foundations of Northern Qi. The story follows his glorious rise from Huaishuo Garrison to his final defeat at Yubi. Though Gao Huan is the protagonist and the main plot unfolds alongside him, the novel also strives to tell the stories of all the heroes of the late Northern Wei, Eastern Wei, and Western Wei. These include Erzhu Rong, Erzhu Zhao, Sima Ziru, Du Luozhou, Hou Jing, Ge Rong, and Zhang Baoluo. Their characters will be neither formulaic nor one-dimensional. Besides his old acquaintances from Huaishuo, many of Gao Huan’s followers were former Northern Wei rebel generals who had once taken part in Ge Rong’s uprising. Most readers know little about their stories. Pan Le, Puliuhan Chang, and Zhang Baoluo are among them, and they too are characters the novel is dedicated to bringing to life.

Historical Fiction: No Nonsense Allowed

It doesn’t have to be completely historically accurate, but at least don’t make it ridiculous. I want power struggles and political maneuvering that make sense. People shouldn’t just get confused all the time and believe the protagonist at first sight. The language doesn’t need to be perfectly period-appropriate, but please don’t throw in internet slang and memes at every turn.
