   Reader note

   I highly recommend this one. It's a story about the daily lives of ordinary officials and commoners in a county town during the Northern Song Dynasty. The exquisite details and realistic portrayal of society transport you to the bustling streets of the Song Dynasty a thousand years ago. It's not a wish-fulfillment novel, but it has its emotional moments. It's not about political intrigue, but it captures the essence of human relationships. There are no romantic pairings, no cheat codes, and no modern-day superiority complexes—it's a hyper-realistic ancient Chinese novel. It's almost a million words long, well-developed and juicy, so give it a try! The downsides: slow-paced, not a wish-fulfillment novel, no romantic pairings, relatively gentle plot twists, and a few chapters that are too detailed. Impatient readers should avoid it.

   This is my own work. There will be a bonus chapter every seven or eight chapters; only those with a brain will laugh.

A unique perspective showcasing the legend of an ordinary person. No overpowered protagonists, no supernatural technology, no stereotypical ensemble casts, no cringeworthy moments of mindless enjoyment. The author brings you sincerity and a distinctive writing style! Example: After serving her husband well, Madam Su quickly slipped out of the house. She saw several neighbors whispering in front of her courtyard. Madam Su paused, forced a bitter expression, patted her chest, and sighed loudly: "Oh dear, what should I do?" "Don't panic, Madam Liu, what happened to Registrar Liu?" Several neighbors asked with great concern. Madam Su breathed a long sigh of relief. "The Emperor has sent two imperial guards to protect my second son. You know, my courtyard is small; how will we be able to live here?" Madam Su looked troubled. Example: The light cavalry quickly dispersed and retreated to the flanks, while the heavy cavalry revealed their ferocity like wild beasts. Dozens of riders formed more than ten columns, facing the Song soldiers directly. The armored horses galloped faster and faster, their rumbling sound like thunder, and they were about to crash into the Song army's formation. Tuola led the light cavalry around to the flank and rear of the heavy cavalry, waiting for the heavy cavalry to tear open an opening and deliver a fatal blow to the Southerners. "Open!" Commander Zhang Shun roared fiercely. The heavily armored soldiers in front, holding their breastplates, parted to the sides, and hundreds of chevaux-de-frise and palisades were pushed from inside the formation to the front in a matter of breaths. The heavy knights desperately reined in their horses, but the armored horses, already charging, could not stop their momentum and continued to charge forward.
