    This book is indeed quite good, but it's a slow burn and the cover is a bit outdated, so its popularity hasn't been great. The protagonist is a member of a powerful clan in the late Tang Dynasty, starting from a low point and navigating the complexities of the situation step by step. Characters like Zhu Wen and Huang Chao are incredibly complex, and even minor characters who only appear in one chapter feel alive. For example, the female lead (it should be a single female lead) is thoughtful, dignified, and vibrant—not just a pretty face or a tool. I highly recommend it. If you think I'm being paid, check my profile. This is a real account; I only read novels to enrich my life and won't recommend books for a pittance. I hope everyone will read it carefully.
