   The new book, set in the Three Kingdoms period, covers military strategy, tactics, people's livelihood, aristocratic families, imperial relatives, campaigns, sieges, field battles, a female protagonist, children, and foreign tribes. It includes all these elements. There is no harem. The protagonist is kind, but not a saintly figure. It depicts the lives of ordinary people, the conquest of cities, the beheading of generals, and assassinations. It also features prestigious families and marriage alliances. There is no system; the only cheat is the protagonist's high martial arts skills. It has a single female protagonist and no harem. Other historical female characters will appear, but they will not be part of the harem. For example, Cai Wenji.

    The historical fantasy novel is complete. The main characters consist of three women and two men, including the main couple and two secondary couples. The female lead of the main couple is the strongest, although she has a sickly side, it doesn't affect the overall plot. In both secondary couples, the women are the ones who dominate the emotional connection. The stories are connected by a series of cases. The first case is so-so, the second and third are okay. That's roughly it.

    This is my first time writing a book, so please ignore the label on the cover. It's a semi-fantasy ancient ensemble novel (with zombies, I guess?). The background is the late period of a fictional dynasty, but while the outer layer is fictional, the core is still very Chinese. It includes many side stories based on historical documents (essentially short historical essays). I don't actually recommend reading the entire first volume; it just gives the characters a chance to appear. Just read Chapter 2 (revenge) and Chapter 5 (disaster/apocalypse). Since it was my first time writing, the writing style wasn't great, and I'm working on it now. The second volume is worth reading entirely; it's rich in traditional Chinese culture, and you can feel the emotions of the characters by immersing yourself in it. The book also contains some explicit descriptions (such as sex, politics, blood, and violence), but these are few and far between, reflecting the phenomena of the late dynasty and the emotional journeys of characters with yandere tendencies. The third volume is about a zombie apocalypse, and I'm currently working on it…

    Me: I don't believe all Tomato Book readers only read the formula of an invincible start + showing off and getting slapped in the face + decisive killing. Data: Four cents a day, believe it or not. Sorry, I'm just making excuses. Actually, my writing is terrible, don't waste your time reading my garbage.
