    Although it's a hodgepodge, it's barely readable. The protagonist, based on modern China, promotes the idea of ​​the people being masters of their own destiny within a feudal dynasty, aiming to achieve monarchical socialism. While his rhetoric is grandiose and empty, he does reduce taxes and exempts the people from corvée labor, doing practical things to lessen their burdens. He enjoys the status of an imperial tutor, a superior figure, and the riches and honors of feudal society. He's both pretentious and ultimately fails, amassing many women and wealth. It's a shame he doesn't write about super-rich characters. Others like Zhuge Liang became prime minister because Liu Shan couldn't handle the mess left by Liu Bei. While the Han dynasty declined during Liu Hong's reign, it wasn't worse than the Shu Kingdom after the defeat at Yiling. The protagonist is far from being Liu Hong's father! Most historical novels are like that; without establishing a superior or intellectual persona, you're subjected to corvée labor, taxes, and military service—any of these can be deadly. To be a dutiful son to the emperor, you need some status; otherwise, you're no different from pigs or dogs. Just look at Zhu Yuanzhang, Shi Hu, and Li Longji.
