Looking for High-Quality Historical Fiction. No Mindless Power Trips or Brain-Dead Plotting
I want high-quality historical fiction that’s engaging and doesn’t dumb things down or rely on brainless plots. It can be satisfying, but don’t treat readers like idiots. No stories like the one where the protagonist fools Cao Cao’s quartermaster about the provisions from the start, or those where a literati protagonist suddenly has the strength of a tyrant. They’re unoriginal and mindless...

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.

The logical thinking is rigorous and the writing is brilliant. I especially like the dialogues in this book, which are very thoughtful, such as: Yu Ji did not leave immediately. She sat down at the table and watched Lu Pheasant taking care of his family. She suddenly asked softly: "Don't you complain, madam?" Without stopping, Lu Pheasant wiped Taigong Liu's forehead with a wet cloth: "Who do you blame?" "I blame the King of Han... For abandoning you." Yu Ji said very softly, as if she couldn't bear it, "If he were the overlord, he would never do this." Lu Pheasant raised his eyes and looked at her. In this woman's world, there seems to be only the word "overlord". Her love and resentment, life and death, are all tied to one person. "If King Xiang is defeated," Lu Pheasant asked calmly, "What will happen to my wife?" "Follow him to death." Yu Ji answered without hesitation, and there was even light in her eyes, "Life and death are in the same place, and we live up to each other's understanding." Lu Zhi was silent for a moment and continued what he was doing: "That is Madam's choice." "Wouldn't Madam choose this way?" "No." Lu Pheasant put down the wet cloth and looked at the sleeping Liu Ying and the tired Lu Yuan, "I want to live. Live for them." The tent became quiet. The sound of soldiers' drill orders came from the distance, uniform and murderous. Yu Ji looked at Lu Pheasant for a long time, a trace of pity flashed in her eyes, and said softly: "Sister, you live soberly, aren't you tired?" This was the first time that she changed to a more intimate title. Lu Pheasant looked outside the tent. Sunlight leaked in through the cracks in the curtains, casting a bright trace of light on the ground. She thought of everything she had experienced over the years: from being the wife of a minor official in Peixian County, to being the queen of Han, to fleeing in Pengcheng, and now being a prisoner in the Chu camp. Every step is calculated, every breath is weighed. Tired? "Tired." She said honestly, but then changed the topic, "But you can survive if you are awake." Yu Ji shook her head, with a kind of innocent stubbornness in her posture: "What's the point of living just to survive? There is always something more important than life in a person's life." "For example?" "Friendship and righteousness." When Yu Ji said these two words, the light in her eyes grew brighter. "The Overlord values love and righteousness, so the heroes of the world return to their hearts. I am willing to follow him, and it is for this reason." Lu Pheasant looked at this woman who was much younger than him, and a complex emotion suddenly surged in his heart. There is pity, envy, and a hint of indescribable sadness. "Sister," she said slowly, "you are too devoted to your life, aren't you afraid?" "What are you afraid of?" "I'm afraid that you've entrusted me to a wrong person, I'm afraid that my friendship will be betrayed, I'm afraid that my passion will end up being wrongly paid." Lu Zhi's voice was very soft, but his words were clear, "In these troubled times, friendship is the most luxurious and dangerous thing." I really appreciate the author's wonderful dialogue writing—— But Liu Ying seemed to have exhausted all her strength, her chest heaving violently, breathing heavily, her eyes wildly scanning the gorgeous and cold palace around her, her voice lowered, but with a creepy prophetic meaning: "What she is cutting off is not just Qi Ji's eyes, ears, hands and feet? What she is cutting off is the Liu family's bones and blood, the hero's backbone, and... The eyes, ears and conscience of the world! Turn this world into her pigsty! Turn everyone into a pig in a urn that cannot see, hear or speak! You tell her! Sooner or later, this Weiyang Palace will become a big urn! No one can escape... Haha... Hahaha..."
Read, practice and be happy! The aroma of books steeped in history is the most intoxicating!
