I've been using Tomato for a while. It's a hub for lightweight novels to pass the time, and quality gems are rare. Overall, historical fiction has the highest average quality. Plenty of books have flaws, but you can tell the authors put in real effort. Most of the books I've finished have been historical fiction.

In front of his two formidable elder brothers, he always kept his head down and wore a smile, never daring to drink even one cup too many. But no one knew that beneath this timid exterior lay a heart that saw all under heaven as a chessboard.

Yu Wenshiji's life was a "delicate transformation" of a son of the Guanlong aristocracy at the time of the dynasty's revolution: from the prince-in-law of the Sui Dynasty, to the younger brother of the regicide, to the prime minister of Li and Tang Dynasties. He did not have the arrogance and ambition of his elder brother, but he walked on the edge of the knife with caution and adaptability. In the end, he became one of the few former nobles who could escape unscathed in the late Sui and early Tang Dynasties and became a very popular minister. His break with Princess Nanyang, his inability to protect his son Zen Master, and his "consummation" in remarrying the Tang Dynasty County Lord in his later years formed the complex and tense fate of this historical figure.

Both are of very high quality. The writing is good, the logic is tight, and the world view is very broad. No time travel, no brainless fun, no wisdom, no cheats, no system. It writes about the times, the common people, history and destiny, and not about small romances at all. The first book is being serialized. From the perspective of an ordinary person, as the class jumps and the plot progresses, an increasingly grand worldview pattern appears. At present, the geopolitical landscape of East Asia, Central Asia, and West Asia has been spread out, and it has begun to enter a state of collision of civilizations and a war between the old and the new order. A situation in which multipolar powers compete with each other under the geographical pattern has been formed. The second book spans the oceans and the Eurasian continent, forming an exploration of civilization, impact and change of the system. The machinations, strategies and tactics, as well as the blood boiling and bloodshed on the battlefield are all beautifully depicted. I strongly recommend the first book to remind students who like to watch wars. The third volume is very enjoyable starting from the third volume. The battlefields are depicted with excitement and the tactical arrangements are quite thoughtful. Make a battle mark: Chapter 28, Chapter 35, Chapter 40, and the latest Chapters 46, 7, 8, and 9 are the latest big battle. Other minor conflicts will not be marked. The most difficult thing about this book is that war, economy, politics, and resources are all closely intertwined with each other. It is not a mindless slap in the face.

(History + fictional history + fantasy + strategy + battle development) The background of this article is similar to the last years of Li Zhi in the Tang Dynasty to the Anshi Rebellion. During Li Zhi's reign, he successively destroyed the Western Turks (657 years), Baekje (660 years), and Goguryeo (668 years), making the Tang Dynasty's territory the largest. However, since the first year of Xianheng (670), the Four Towns of Anxi, Tuyuhun and other areas have been successively captured by the Tibetan God of War Qinling. The Tang Dynasty's territory in the Western Regions declined and was defeated by Silla and lost the Korean Peninsula. They also listened to the slander and killed the surrendered East Turkic Khan Ashina Funen, which led to the East Turks rebelling against the Tang and becoming independent, establishing the Post-Turkic Khanate, and invading the borders of the Tang Dynasty for many years.

Reader note
Personally, I think "The Most Beautiful Girl of the Five Generations" is the best historical novel on Tomato. One can learn knowledge, and the other can learn writing skills. A legendary beauty who was ashamed of her beauty during the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms. He has lived through three dynasties and eight emperors, served generals, emperors, and Khitan lords, experienced glory and disaster, in heaven and on earth. This is a touch of tenderness in the midst of a fierce battle. It starts from Chang'an, the capital of the Tang Dynasty, and ends in Bianliang, Tokyo. Ashes to ashes, dust to dust. It's a pity that Chang'an is so close, but I can never go back. It's a pity that when I look up at the sun, I can't see Chang'an. If the fragrance lingers, I will definitely head west.
