For Girls with High Cultural Level, I Recommend an Ancient Novel
Faguan is a book that is not written according to routines. It has a lot of knowledge, a clear historical context, and a profound analysis of human nature. It is worth reading calmly.

What surprised me most about this book was its "sense of structure". On the surface, it is a house, a chess game, and love, but underneath it is really the torrent of the times in Tianbao's last years. You will find that many details are not written casually: Uighur, Tubo, Donggong, Weishi's loss of power, Yang Guozhong, Qi Daizhao... These lines are all slowly closing. The author obviously didn't just want to write a "pleasant article", but wanted to write about how a person survives in the cracks of the prosperous age. Nowadays, there are not many people who can calm down and make this kind of structure. I am looking forward to the following plot. Don't collapse, don't collapse, don't give up, don't cut. Please...
To be honest, I came here for "Datang + House Fighting" at first, but the more I read, the more I realized that this book is not an ordinary ancient book at all. The heroine has a rare "modern adult feel". She is not a brainless cheater, nor is she a holy mother. Many of her judgments and logic are very similar to those of people who have actually done projects and taken on things in reality. Especially her way of looking at business wars, relationships, and profit distribution is particularly true. And the best thing about the author is that although many plots are very dramatic, the emotions of the characters are still in control. I cried when I watched the episode "Bai Yuliu". It's not that the horse is miserable, it's that "she saw herself in the horse." This one is too high-end.
I have rarely seen "business war" written into ancient Chinese proverbs so smoothly. And it's not about business, but it's naturally integrated into the plot. During the Huichun Hall episode, I even felt like I was watching a modern capital siege...
I originally didn't like reading ancient novels, but I really couldn't stop reading this one. Especially the chapters in West Market, I felt like I was watching a movie. Grilled mutton, orchids, wine, Hu Xuanwu... Chang'an is really brought to life.
I screamed when Ye Hu came out! ! ! Who knows! ! ! Hormones are kicking in! A young prince from a foreign land + a tall horse + a direct shot from the sun! ! ! "Immortal God wants you and me to meet." I fell immediately. The author is a male couple, right?
It can be seen that the author did not write in the same way as "The Twelve Hours of Chang'an". His Chang'an is not suspenseful or spectacular, but truly full of fireworks. Especially the West Market part is so flavorful of the Tang Dynasty.
I really like Meng Yongwuwuwu. He is either the flamboyant male protagonist type, or he is very quiet and stable. He will silently buy rouge and hand stoves for the female protagonist, and is afraid of being discovered by his sister. I feel that this kind of boy is the most destructive in reality. Moreover, the author wrote very carefully about the feeling of "a young girl being taken seriously for the first time", which made my aunt laugh all the time while watching it.
The author has definitely studied Tang history. Many changes in etiquette, markets, clothing, titles, and even makeup trends cannot be described by just looking up on the Internet. Especially details such as "Crying makeup", "Falling horse bun" and "Hu Xuanwu". When some people comment, please don't spoil it.
The atmosphere of this book is so strong. Especially in winter. Snow, charcoal fire, Tangbaozi, hand stove, wind blowing door god paper, incense of medicine, white breath in horse's nose... The author seems to have really lived in the Tang Dynasty
What I like most about this book is the "human touch". Not only the protagonist, but also every maid, shopkeeper, coachman, and old lady are like living people. Especially the cage, it was really uncomfortable when I saw her being beaten.
