I Dismantle Plotlines Across Five Thousand Years of History 我在五千年历史中拆剧本
I was a struggling history student. After falling asleep in class, I became a corpse on the battlefield where the Yellow Emperor fought. A strange tattoo on my chest could even heal itself. They called me “a remnant of the shaman bloodline,” but Xuannü looked at me as if I were a “programming error.” I once thought transmigration meant surviving in the wilderness and building a farming village. Until I heard a cold voice in my dreams: [This path is forbidden.] [Deviant branches must be pruned.]

Wei and Jin: A Thief of the State Becomes a Marquis 魏晋：窃国者侯
The Jin court fled south to Yongjia, and the Central Plains sank into chaos. This was perhaps the darkest and most absurd era in Chinese history. Behind vermilion gates, scholars lounged in flowing robes, chatting as they picked lice from their hair. Even as they fled for their lives, they still powdered their faces, applied perfume, and carefully groomed themselves. Outside those gates, there was not a rooster to be heard for a thousand miles. White bones lay exposed in the wilderness, and huma

The Late Ming Trilogy 明末三部曲
This is a late-Ming historical epic told primarily from the perspective of the Daxi Army and the peasant rebels. The general approach is seventy percent fact and thirty percent fiction: the main characters and major events are real, but some real historical figures’ personalities, backgrounds, and experiences have been fictionalized. The trilogy’s central themes trace a path from the ensemble cast’s “instinct to survive and ideal of universal harmony” in the Survival arc, to “destruction, plunde
