    The first book is a time-travel story set in the early Tang Dynasty. It's meticulously researched, and the technology is in line with Tang Dynasty conditions. The protagonist has a slight advantage: a motorhome that accompanies him through time, carrying a few modern items, but these only play a minor, crucial role. The second book is a historical fiction written according to historical events. Needless to say, it preserves historical accuracy while incorporating artistic embellishments.
