A new work is now available! Welcome to read my stories on Tomato Novel. I hope you enjoy them. Your support motivates me to write, and I'll do my best to tell every story well! Centered on Li Gang's life, this novel weaves together a complete portrait of the troubled era spanning the Jingkang Humiliation at the end of the Northern Song and the beginnings of the Southern Song's retreat to the south. Balancing historical accuracy with literary storytelling, it portrays Li Gang as a loyal and brilliant statesman who was repeatedly sidelined, and whose fate was tragic. It depicts the tangled interests, steadfast loyalty, and struggles of human nature among rulers and ministers, soldiers and civilians, and enemies and allies amid the chaos. It also recreates the political corruption, military decay, and failing livelihoods at the turn of the two Song dynasties, as well as the tragic resistance of the Central Plains people against the Jin.
