The author is meticulous in his historical research and writes in a humorous style.

   As the saying goes, "A single thought can open up a whole new world." There's a book I can't help but recommend. It's not set in the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms period, but in the Ming Dynasty. However, the protagonist is very charismatic. "If you say he's not greedy, he's always thinking about selling chickens from his chicken farm to the people. But if you say he's greedy, he's willing to take the silver given to him by Uncle Xu and Uncle Chang to help those women open a steamed bun shop. He often says that to make money from the people, you have to make them rich first." "If you say he's not lustful, he told Wang Qiong he wanted to listen to music in brothels every day, and Wang Qiong said it didn't seem like a lie. But if you say he's lustful, he hasn't touched a single woman in Ningyang County. The people forced a maid on him, but he only had her serve him tea and water, and he's still unmarried." "If you say he cares about his reputation, he doesn't care at all about the old woman tarnishing his name. But if you say he doesn't care about his reputation, he says that justice resides in the hearts of the people."
