Synopsis

I was born in Lingnan. My mother said that on the night I was born, the moon rolled right into her belly. As a boy, I stole lychees and disturbed hornets' nests with my two childhood friends. We fought for our friends, and by the Qujiang River I met a girl gathering herbs, whose eyes shone brighter than the moon. Later, I traveled north to Chang’an. From being a “southern barbarian” at the Imperial Academy, I rose to become a chancellor at the height of the Kaiyuan era. I saw the dagger hidden in Li Linfu’s smile, and heard the wolfish ambition in An Lushan’s voice when he came to court. In the dead of night, Emperor Xuanzong once summoned me to play Go. A single move decided the crown prince’s fate. A vendor at a Western Market flatbread stall once said, “There are more officials in Chang’an than sesame seeds. Squeeze them and oil comes out.” But in the notes my wife, Lady Tan, left behind, she wrote: “Wherever he is, that place is home.” This is a book about the bright moon, lychees, youthful passion, and a lone, loyal heart gone white with age. I am Zhang Jiuling. The moon rises over the sea, and we share this moment though worlds apart. What you’re reading is most of my life.

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.

Brilliant Historical Fiction, Rated 9 or Higher, Meticulously Researched, with a Down-to-Earth Protagonist

I've read a lot of stories like this, even some highly rated ones, but their protagonists all seem to have an arrogant, godlike perspective. Since they know how things unfold and how they end, they spoil everything for the locals and act smug about it. It's really uncomfortable, and they show no respect for history.
