    Sharing a little-known historical fact every day: Although ancient Rome went through the city-state era, the monarchy era, the republic era, and the empire era, Rome's official name was always "The Senate and the People of Rome." That is to say, even after Octavian, Diocletian, and Constantine I had abolished the Senate, Rome remained the Rome of the Senate, and the Roman people only recognized the republic, not the emperor. Although it's a fictional historical account in an alternate world, every detail is historically accurate, and every plot has a historical prototype, depicting the cruelty of dynastic struggles and court intrigues, and the horrors of feudal rule, spanning five hundred years.

    All are ultimate historical works [good reads]. The first one, "Trust Me," is really good; it's not like those old history books. The second and third are from the Tang Dynasty; both are completed works. Fourth, the author probably writes a lot of academic papers; it's research-oriented, a professional writer, historical fiction, aristocratic families. Fifth, this writing style is definitely from someone's new account; the Three Kingdoms is truly strong. Sixth, a veteran author from the Ming Dynasty; quality is guaranteed.
