There are no regrets here, nor lengthy plots, but every chapter contains ruthless moves that can rewrite the fate of the dynasty.
It might be a commoner strategist who breaks the Seven Kingdoms Alliance with a glass of poisoned wine, or it might be a palace lady who overthrows a centuries-old family with half a secret letter;
Perhaps the border general used fake death to cut off the enemy's food routes, or the reclusive gentleman used Feng Shui to disrupt the layout of the court.
Each ten chapters is about an independent dynasty, from the disputes among nations under the feudal system, to the official strife in the county system, to the vying for power in troubled times, planners with different identities show their talents.
There is no eternal protagonist, only the constant battle of wits:
Some rely on psychological tricks to make enemy generals destroy the Great Wall, some use serial schemes to discredit political opponents, and some even use themselves as bait to set up a dead end that spans decades.
Each volume has a closed loop, and each story contains a reversal that subverts cognition. You can never guess what kind of strange trick the next conspirator will use to find a way out of a desperate situation.
Open this book and see how little people use their ingenuity to stir up troubles and determine the outcome in different fictional histories.
