Synopsis

Historical span: From the Rebellion of the Eight Princes in the Western Jin Dynasty in 290 CE to Liu Yu’s overthrow of the Jin in 420, spanning 130 years.

Core themes: The southward migration of the aristocracy at the end of the Jin dynasties was a history filled with blood and fire, tears and hope. It was at once the grand tragedy of a collapsing dynasty and the story of families and individuals enduring against all odds. Through the rise and fall of a fictional branch family of the second-tier gentry, the Langya Wang clan, this novel reflects the upheavals of a great age.

Any Palace Intrigue Novels Without Women Fighting Over Men?

Looking for stories like "Spring Snow Cannot Envy Fragrant Bones; Slaying Dragons Is What Matters". I want palace-intrigue and political-struggle stories, but without women competing against each other. Ideally, the leads would join forces to rebel. I really like this book for that. I don't mind whether there's a male lead, as long as the story is absolutely centered on the female lead's perspective.
