I’d like historical fiction, or literary fiction if you like, with good writing. Anything but brainless wish-fulfillment novels, and please give it a decent moral compass.

Chang'an in the prosperous age was the result of the hard work of each and every one of them, but they were never allowed to enjoy the glory of this prosperous age. The collapse of the building is not the purpose of the worms. They just want to live with more dignity and not be swallowed up by the dust of this prosperous age. There have been many ups and downs, but the books of history will never leave a single line of text for us. What is buried in the dust is the most real memory!

In fact, Cao Cao's main purpose was not for Liu Bei, but Liu Bei, the arsonist, burned all the supplies in Xinye Fan City. It would be very distressing if he ran to Jiangling and set fire to all the logistics supplies in the city. Boss Cao is also a man who knows how to live a good life. He must seize Jiangling first to prevent Liu Bei from setting fire to cause trouble again!

I highly recommend these two novels. The male protagonist silently builds his own secret power, relies on modern knowledge to create firearms, telescopes, and hot-air balloons, implements drastic reform policies, unifies his thoughts through new learning, and finally unifies the world. The war scenes are grand and the storyline is ups and downs. It's a super interesting new fictional history book!
