    This probably doesn't need much explanation (a true god in 2014), it's a book by the author, and the protagonist is the son of a king of a different surname, a prince. But actually, all the large-scale wars are later on; the beginning mainly focuses on the protagonist's martial arts training. If you break this book down, you could write at least seven or eight books of various themes. It's mind-blowing, a great book, already a masterpiece. (I just don't know why chapter 64 was reviewed for so many years, but it doesn't seem like a big deal.) Protagonist relationships: I'll just say a few words, the protagonist has 12 wives (seven are taken in, five are not mentioned). Of course, you don't need to worry about the romance, after all, the author is the author, and there are many relationships between the characters.

    It has all the necessary elements, the only difference being that this is an alternate history novel, but some seemingly far-fetched events have historical prototypes. No powerful martial arts sect can ever be stronger than the state apparatus. The book depicts the conflict between the martial arts world and the imperial court, the conflict between factions within the court, and the conflict between nations, but all these conflicts stem from a lack of sufficient mutual benefit. Everyone is intelligent, and the book offers reflections on war and analyses of human nature. The writing style is somewhat harsh in the beginning, but it gradually lightens later.
