   Reader note

   "Desire to the Nine Heavens" is an epic of troubled times that spans more than ten years and gives an overview of the rise and fall of the four kingdoms. It breaks away from the "black and white" formula of traditional Machiavellian novels and plunges its writing into the most real human heart. The two core male protagonists in the book are never flat "decent" and "villain": the first male protagonist Qi Ming went from a wandering boy on the streets of Yong Dynasty to the throne of the Flame Phoenix King. He has a kind side - opening up new opportunities and reducing gifts. There are also mortal struggles between taxing and protecting the people under his rule: facing Pan Chi's Zen position, he refused to give up. He was not only afraid of not being able to shoulder the heavy responsibility of the country, but also afraid of the backlash brought by power; in order to protect the people around him, he also wavered at the boundaries of power. The second male protagonist, Xiao Lin, is the iron-blooded emperor of the Yong Dynasty. He killed the king in cold blood and subjugated the soldiers, but he also had tenderness for his lover Su Ling'er and the sobriety that "the people's heart is the strongest city wall." He believed in iron-fisted power throughout his life, but after he ascended the throne, he was gradually backlashed by the evil consequences he had planted. The court games throughout the book are intertwined, from the transformation of the Yong Dynasty Palace to the Zen throne of Yanhuang, from the hidden secrets of the Four Kingdoms to the open situation of the Three Kingdoms Alliance, and the war scenes are even more magnificent and tragic: the confrontation at Shiping Pass, the surprise attack at Hansu Pass, the fierce battle between the Snowfield and the Xuanshuang Army. Behind every killing, what is written is not a simple victory or defeat, but the collision of different governing logics. The sharpest core of the book is that it puts "people's hearts and minds" absolutely above all plots, wars, and heroic narratives: Xiao Lin tried his best, but because he lost the hearts of the people, he was finally pressed by Qiming's "submission of the people"; Qiming's "catfish theory" and "power comes from the people" governing philosophy are never empty slogans, but are based on the reality of promoting trade and benefiting workers, resettling refugees, and reforming official governance. Even those seemingly inconspicuous little people - the old people guarding the dilapidated inn, the soldiers who were drafted, and the people who were struggling to survive in the war, their choices are the real force that pushes the four countries forward. This is not a novel about "how a hero reaches the top", but a story about how everyone struggles with desire, responsibility, and conscience in troubled times, and is ultimately weighed by the steelyard of "people's hearts."
