    Set in the Song Dynasty, this is a fan fiction based on the film "Man Jiang Hong" by He Li. It features a poignant and unspoken love story, as well as themes of national duty and patriotism. Originally, both the male and female leads were retainers of Qin Hui, but they ultimately turn against him, gradually escaping the prime minister's mansion and bringing him down. Seeing the treacherous minister fall from grace is very satisfying. [Thumbs up]

    This novel, set against the backdrop of the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms period and using the founding of the Song Dynasty as historical material, is a welcome read for history enthusiasts. We welcome your feedback. Amidst the collapse of the Han Dynasty and the trampling of the Central Plains by nomadic tribes, Xia Qing gathers the remaining people and flees to the mysterious "Xia Ruins" for survival. Young Zhao Kuangyin joins the army, growing up amidst mountains of corpses and seas of blood. The reclusive lineage of the ancient Xia Dynasty emerges, and Xia Yinhua secretly teaches them ancient warfare techniques. Together, the two sweep away barbarians and warlords, ending a century of chaos. Ultimately, Zhao Kuangyin dons the imperial yellow robe and establishes the Song Dynasty, but due to ancestral instructions, the life-saving grace of the Xia Dynasty is not recorded. As time flows, the Sanxingdui artifacts are unearthed, and this long-buried secret history that has protected Chinese civilization is gradually revealed.
