   The male protagonist is practically General Duanmu, righteous to the point of being wicked. He chased Ren Yingying for over 300 li, and when he had the chance to kill her, Kaba strangled her instead. The protagonist is Yue Buqun's disciple. He leads Mount Hua to become the number one martial arts master in the world. He spends sixty years vanquishing demons, killing them one after another. He intervenes whenever he sees injustice. There are no flaws in the entire book. The problem is that the author was heartbroken; there is no female lead in the entire book, and the protagonist never falls in love with anyone else.

It places classic martial arts characters from Jin Yong and Gu Long's works in the same world, with the protagonist gradually building his power after arriving. It features both sword duels typical of martial arts novels and court intrigue. There's no forced suffering for the protagonist, making it suitable for those who want a peaceful and satisfying read.

    Reader note

    1. The author is a fan of Li Shimin. Throughout the text, one can feel the author's lavish praise for the emperor modeled after Li Shimin, and for the prosperous Tang Dynasty (or Daqian in the text). 2. Many historical events are interspersed. For example, there's the story of Li Shimin teasing a bird, and Wei Zheng coming to advise him. Li Shimin had to put the bird in his sleeve until it suffocated. I only learned about this anecdote after reading the comments. 3. The story focuses primarily on the male lead's career, with romance as a secondary theme. Although there are many unrequited feelings for the male lead, at least in my opinion, there isn't a clearly defined female lead (although there are multiple unrequited feelings, it's not a harem story!). Among the multiple unrequited feelings, Bai Xingling is described more extensively, but she doesn't appear very early in the story. New readers might want to be prepared (but it's okay if you don't; this unrequited feeling is quite palatable, I'm just worried some readers might be critical). 4. The protagonist's sense of right and wrong, and his stance on the issue, are very clear. The protagonist respects those with good intentions but different stances, but will not show mercy. This means that the protagonist does not have a saintly heart throughout the story, but will not indiscriminately kill innocent people for his own purposes. In short, the logic is sound. 5. A true ensemble piece, even the villains possess their own sense of righteousness.
