After reading this, you will wonder if you have any brain. Specially recommended. Everyone's IQ is online, and foreshadowing runs throughout the text. Anyway, I don't understand it, except that it's cool. All I can say is that the author's writing skills are amazing.

This long historical novel has a magnificent structure, starting from Sima Yi's youth growth to the era of his son Sima Zhao. It depicts the power game and the transformation of human nature in the late Three Kingdoms with a cold and profound writing style. It especially portrays the "Tomb Tiger" Sima Yi in a profound way, emphasizing both the calculation of power and the weight of history.

They are both true plot novels. In the early stages of the novel, the protagonists have little power and can only engage in some conspiracies. In the later stages, when the protagonists become more powerful, they mainly engage in upright plotting. I highly recommend the first and fourth books.

A five-star recommendation for one of the best historical works: fighting against rebellion, guarding the capital, attacking and establishing slaves, stabilizing the border, destroying traitors, fighting against the officials and gentry, and suppressing the rule of officials... Natural disasters and military disasters and the barriers between officials and gentry have become a yoke of fate. Use wisdom to cut the shackles and rely on fate. When the law of survival and the weakness of human nature are intertwined into a web, use conspiracy to break the web, use the game as a chess game, and win the half of the sky, you will be a true hero. In short, there are turmoils in the temples and palaces, scheming for power, traveling through time and space, exploring the legends of emperors, making up for the regrets of the dynasty, showing the charm of history, the rise and fall, and the wheel of history is rolling forward.

Wonderful and beautiful! The novels written by Kai Zhongkan began with the first "The Road to Feng Shui Cultivation", then the second "One Man and One Mouse Want to Cultivate Immortality", and after finishing it, he wrote "The Journey of Mecha to Immortality, Invincible from Exile on Mars". The three books are now completed. The three books are combined into a Cultivation of Immortality series, which can be called the Cultivation of Immortality Trilogy. Now, he has started writing again. This time he is not writing about cultivating immortals. He is writing about things close to us, about Feng Shui, human hearts, kung fu, layout, breaking the situation, the Eight Gates of Jianghu, and the story of how he overcame obstacles along the way, established a business empire, and took advantage of the situation to build regional military power... This new book is called "Traveling Horses and Hidden Bureaus". The yin and yang of walking horses are Feng Shui, and hiding the world is human hearts. The purpose of the book: In this world, the human heart is more terrifying than ghosts. But you can't be afraid. If you are afraid, you will lose.

She is really a calm, sober and big-picture heroine, and the heroine herself has no rebirth, no golden finger of time travel, and she is too meticulous to be invincible in the harem. Who knows, it is the absolute personal thinking strength and the heroine's leadership pattern that can convince the entire harem and concubines, and they have to obey. From the very beginning, he knew how to be extremely clear-headed and knew how to stand in line. He had excellent vision and thinking. If he didn't take action, he would definitely defeat the opponent and kill him directly! Unexpectedly! Without an invincible backing, the original character was born and raised, and unexpectedly, unexpectedly, he captured and conquered the arrogant female cousin who had a rebirth experience and the time-traveling female college student who had gone through nine years of compulsory education. Even at the peak of power, one can still be sober and free to let go, without nostalgia or procrastination. Almost no one can let go of the peak of power so objectively and calmly. The author's vision and depth of thinking in this book are truly admirable. At first I thought it was a romance drama about palace battles, but I changed my mind and watched it as a distraction. I was pleasantly surprised. After reading it, it was indeed well written and the plot was compact. The key point is that all the supporting characters are very distinctive and real, not superficial. I finished reading this book at five o'clock in the morning on December 27, 2024.

🌺There are no palace and house fights in the short-lived ghost. The story starts from the inner demons and extends to one shocking case after another. This story allows us to respond to the cycle of cause and effect. After reading this, I was immediately relieved. I must have been a bad person in my previous life, otherwise why would God send my mother to be me. 🌺The second book is an old one. It is estimated that few people have not read it, but I still can't help but recommend it. This is the originator of the Republic of China, power plot, heroine, sweet pet, and revenge novels. The heroine also had a short marriage with her brother-in-law (killing the hero for cooperation). It is the kind that can be n-swiped.
