A record of the evolution of Chinese civilization that strictly follows the official historical context but is full of flesh and blood. It does not mythologise emperors, nor dwarf all living beings. It only refines the cold records between the knife marks on the bamboo slips into warm human stories.
For readers:
✓ Readers who are tired of "time travel cheats" and long for a rich reading experience of real history
✓ Those who like to gain insight into complex human nature in the struggle for power
✓ Readers who are interested in China's institutional changes and the evolution of civilization
✓ Lovers of fine novels who pursue both literary quality and historical depth
