    I only recommend this one! I suggest reading the comments section of the last chapter first, where the author summarizes the entire novel, which will help with reading. "Emperor Renzu of Tang" is a nearly million-word completed novel. All foreshadowing is resolved, all plot holes are filled, and there's no disappointing ending. The author's writing is amazing, the scope is grand, the themes are lofty, the knowledge and theories are extensive, the literary skills are profound, and the political intrigue is top-notch. This is a timeless classic that rivals or even surpasses famous novels and historical fiction! Read it carefully, and you'll understand what a true novel is; those monster-slaying, level-up stories are utterly pathetic.
