    The first book, set in the Ming Dynasty, is written with a touch of warmth, yet also captures the majesty and intrigue of the imperial court. The second, about the Southern Qi Dynasty, features a character impersonating the Wang family of Langya; the author demonstrates profound historical and literary knowledge, providing detailed annotations. The third book, set in the Han Dynasty, focuses on imperial power struggles.

    This book requires patience, but it's quite enjoyable. The love-hate relationship between the Zhao family (who are actually all protagonists) and Old Zhu is engaging, with moments of lighthearted humor and touching moments. Furthermore, the descriptions of imperial scheming align with my understanding of ancient emperors; it's not mindless.
