    This book is truly captivating. Don't let the title put you off; every character is vividly portrayed, with their own pursuits and ideals. They don't simply serve the protagonist. Even minor characters are willing to sacrifice themselves for their own sense of justice and the well-being of the people. Even knowing the road ahead is fraught with peril, someone will always be there to test the waters. Even the treacherous minister, Wen Ge Lao, initially aspired to be an upright and honest official. Each character is vibrant, living under a specific dynasty, seemingly guided by their own destiny, writing their own story. The female protagonist is also incredibly moving. She is seen as the most favored princess, but in reality, even after her father's death, she is betrayed. This made me deeply understand the saying, "The imperial family is the most ruthless." It's a truly excellent book. I'll always be moved by the stories of national righteousness and those who are willing to give their lives for their beliefs.

    The first book is Kong Liu's new work, a complete edition. I added it to my bookshelf back in 2023, and only now that it's finally finished have I been able to bring myself to read it. Whether it's the writing style, the plot, the character development, the environmental descriptions, the detailed action descriptions, or even the patriotic sentiments, this work is worth treasuring in every aspect; it's always refreshing to reread. The second book is also very good, but unfortunately it's still being updated. I can add it to my bookshelf and occasionally urge for updates; it's more satisfying to accumulate a lot before reading it.
