    This is a different kind of historical novel. The protagonist is dressed in ancient times, and the emperor and ministers speak in classical Chinese. The protagonist only knows how to curse. The writing is excellent, and the plot is well-developed. The supporting characters are outstanding in the middle part. Starting from the protagonist's imprisonment in the capital, the female lead and female supporting characters appear. There are no superfluous characters or plots. Everything has a story. Go and read it.
