Historical novels based on official history, not unofficial accounts. Any dynasty is fine, but it absolutely has to be official history! Official history! Please! Historical fiction is really useful to me.

There is one book about the Five Hus and Sixteen Kingdoms, one book about the Southern and Northern Dynasties, and one book about the Sui and Tang Dynasties. They are all real histories, and the characters are very well-drawn.

Please recommend! The Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms is very slow to develop (it's soy sauce from the sidelines in the early stage), not brainless, not pretentious, not cultivating immortals, not bloody, not time-traveling, no system, no protagonist aura, no modern technology, no thermal weapons, but there is history, there are characters, there are wars, there are ghosts and gods, there are calculations, strategies, adoptive sons usurp power and control the feudal towns, and then dominate the world, and continue the five hundred years of prosperity of the Tang Dynasty!

The author is Mingyue's younger brother. It is said that Mingyue encouraged him to write the book. The writing style and thinking are all top-notch.
