    My work is a historical article with a thoughtful mind. The intrigues of the court - ordinary people in the city, the iron-blooded war - fresh love. The light and humorous style interprets the rich history. A different perspective shows the legend of an ordinary person. There is no magical protagonist, no black technology, no group portraits with facial makeup, and no awkward and cool moments of wisdom. The author is coming to you with full sincerity and unique writing style! Content example: Serving her good husband, Su took the time to sneak out quickly. I saw several neighbors talking quietly in front of their own yard. Mrs. Su paused, tried her best to put on a bitter face, patted her chest and sighed loudly: "Oh, what can we do?" "Ms. Liu, don't panic, what happened to Mr. Liu?" Several neighbors asked with great concern. I breathed a long sigh of relief. "The official family sent two imperial guards to protect my second son. You know, my yard is small, how can I live there in the future?..." Mrs. Su looked confused. Example: The light cavalry quickly dispersed to the two wings and retreated, while the heavy armored cavalry showed its ferocious appearance like wild beasts. Dozens of cavalry formed more than ten columns and faced the Song soldiers directly. The armored horses ran faster and faster, the rumble was like thunder, and they were about to crash into the Song army's formation. Tuola led the light cavalry around to the rear of the heavy cavalry, waiting for the heavy cavalry to open the gap and deliver a fatal blow to the southerners. "Open!" Zhang Shun, the general, shouted sharply. The heavily armored soldiers at the front held up their chest shields and separated to both sides. Hundreds of them resisted the horses and deer, and they were pushed from the inside to the front of the formation in a few breaths. The heavily armored knight tried his best to rein in his horse, but the armored horse that had already charged could not hold back its momentum and kept rushing forward. The first few war horses collided with the rejecting horses and fell to the ground whiningly. The knight was violently thrown out...
