    Shuhuang recommends a new niche book. The title of the book is very conventional, but the inside is subversive. What I thought was a refreshing novel about rebirth and revenge turned out to be a psychological epic as precise as clockwork. Based on the Northern Song Dynasty, the author builds a rich world where intrigue and poetry are intertwined. The writing is excellent, and the original poems all contain hidden mysteries. The most shocking thing is the late reversal. When I looked back at the previous article, I realized that all the clues had already quietly woven together another truth.

    Trust me! This one! Just finished! Not a mindless piece of abuse! The storyline is not cliched, there is no mindless golden finger time travel system, etc. The male and female protagonists are not the kind of gods who are like chicken blood. The story is grand and involves the integration and unification of the Tanzhao Dynasty, the Xihuang Empire and the Twenty-three Hu tribes in the north. In the story, Yin Chengji, Yin Chengrui, Emperor Zhaoming, Xiao Linghui, Liu Qingqi, Chen Qingyan, Imperial Physician Jingyan, Queen Mother Yuanling, Princess Xiyuan, etc. Are all supporting characters, but each supporting character has its own origin and destiny. Around chapter 60, I started to cry a lot, and the more I read to the end, the more I cried. I cried while watching many plots, and I basically cried through the second half of the book! It's logically connected, with lots of foreshadowing, and the last few extra episodes are also very exciting. Every pitfall is filled in perfectly. I highly recommend it!!!

    Ao Guang's novel is about humanities, but it is based on the background of Fengshen. Princess Longji is an important figure in Fengshen. She is noble and beautiful. However, in the original work, Jiang Ziya allocates the princess to Hong Jin as a beauty in order to win over Hong Jin. The fate of the princess is rewritten here. The title of the book is a bit eye-catching, but the content is really good. The logic is rigorous and there are no pitfalls. The righteousness of the people transcends the love between children. The love is delicious, sweet and charming, and is unique.

    Two powerful people seeking literature. The plot is compact and well-written, and all the members' IQs are online. Highly recommended [top post] In troubled times, Yan Xi, the female monarch of Yan State, took the initiative to seek an alliance with Jin Mian, the monarch of Jin State, in order to protect the country. She came for an alliance, but he asked her to use her body as a betrothal. His fluttering words "the marriage has not yet been consummated, the engagement can be annulled" forced her to give up the engagement between her childhood sweethearts and guarantee a permanent alliance with the marriage between the two monarchs. When the Yan Kingdom collapsed due to civil strife and the alliance became a void treaty, she forged the new life of the Zhao Kingdom with blood and fire, cut off the shackles of marriage, and vowed not to be a vassal of others. From husband and wife to strangers, from allies testing each other to rivals in a game of chess. Staying with you, relying on you, until the day when the iron cavalry rides through the Central Plains, the world will be shocked - it turns out that the sharpest sword is never a single sword
