Plan *********

This book is quite exciting and very beautiful! The author's writing style is gorgeous and delicate, and he narrates the thrilling and exciting story. The plot is explosive but not losing logic. The characters are well-drawn and three-dimensional, and the IQs of all the members are online. From the first sight, I was deeply involved in it and couldn't bear to put it down. I gained a lot from reading it in a few hours. I will continue to read it. Highly recommended!

I thought Lin Yan would fall down, but he knelt down. I thought he would die if he knelt down, but he stood up. This is not a book that can be finished quickly, but a political drama that needs to be settled down and savored word for word. The story begins with the Xuanwu Gate. Lin Yan, a time traveler, enters the game as a "chess piece" and deals with various forces such as Li Shimin, Changsun Wuji, the Crown Prince, and the King of Wei. The pace in the early stage is slow, and the chessboard is very large - the layout of northern Xinjiang, the army building with Modao, the checks and balances in the court, and the undercurrent of reserve positions. The placement of every chess piece requires patience. But once the accumulation period of the first 70 chapters has passed, the whole book is like a flood, and it is out of control: Shen Qinghuan hits the pillar, the gentle wedding is poisonous, the prince "asks your majesty to call him prince", Mo Dao rains down to kill the enemy, borrows troops to destroy the country... The highlight chapters burst out intensively, and the reading experience directly jumped from "not bad" to "can't stop". The greatest advantage of this book is its solid Machiavellian logic. The emperor's checks and balances, the border generals' self-protection, and the powerful ministers' calculations. Every step has traces to follow, and there is no tricking the mind or playing tricks. Li Shimin's imperial mentality of "use and defend", Lin Yan's survival philosophy of "hiding the edge and guarding the weak", and Changsun Wuji's "family-centered" approach are pressing forward step by step. The three-party game runs throughout and is full of tension. The characterization is equally impressive. Lin Yan is not a traditional "cool hero". In terms of writing style, it is rich in ancient style and has a strong sense of picture.
