Great Books That Truly Weave Chinese Culture into the Story 真正把中国文化嵌入小说的好书

1. 851 临 A Final Wish 临终之愿 Lei-jie's Hopeless Simp蕾姐的老舔狗Mystery322k WordsOngoing [Not for everyone: a niche novel with no harem, no formulaic tropes, no invincible hero, and no wish fulfillment. The storytelling is detailed, but the pacing is a little slow.] [Why I write: I'm not after money. I don't have much, but I have enough. What I hope for is understanding, and I sincerely look forward to thoughtful readers.] [Keywords: hard science fiction, rigorous logic, wit and humor, critical thinking, and knowledge from seventeen academic disciplines to broaden your perspective] 137Reads—Score102Shelves

   The requirements can be higher. What's the point of embedding only culture? Cutting-edge scientific theories can also be embedded. A book promotion advertisement from a middle-aged troll: For the convenience of understanding, a crossover book can be regarded as "The End of Ten Days" that combines hard science fiction, strong strategy, and high viewpoints. However, the group of protagonists is not normal, and the reason why readers laugh has nothing to do with the author. The logic is rigorous, and the knowledge contained in the 17 subjects is supported by orthodox theories, and is not a generalization under the guise of science. The story is exquisite and interlocking, with a lot of foreshadowing and pitfalls that must be filled in. It is not a scattered plot that is forcibly pieced together to prove one's own point of view. I don't want to rely on this book to turn myself around and change my destiny. The questionable title cannot let me know more interesting souls.

    The most powerful person in history is not Emperor Qin and Han Wu, not Emperor Tang Zong and Song Zu, not Genghis Khan Temujin, not Alexander the Great, nor Queen Victoria who created the British Empire on which the sun never sets. Instead, he led his eldest son in the western expedition from the Mongolian grasslands to the city of Vienna and established the capital of Sayin Khan of the Golden Horde. The young Batu accompanied his father Jochi on expeditions in the east and west, and made outstanding achievements, which made Jochi the successor to the Great Khan of Mongolia. However, due to doubts about Jochi's origin, he was always excluded from the line of succession of the Great Khan. Rumors and rumors followed him closely, and he finally died in depression. Batu inherited Jochi's fief, and with his extraordinary talent, he became the commander-in-chief of his eldest son's Western Expedition, leading 150,000 cavalry from the Mongolian grasslands to the city of Vienna. He annihilated the principalities of Russia, captured Hungary, attacked Poland, pushed Moscow to the ground, drank the Danube River, defeated 400,000 European coalition troops with 40,000 cavalry, and destroyed more than 20 countries in seven years. After the death of Ogedai Khan, the kings who conquered the West returned eastward to compete for the throne of Khan. Batu used the remaining power of the Western Expedition to defend the Kipchak grassland and established the vast Golden Horde. He was called Sayin Khan by Europeans and respected as "Batu Tsar" by the Russians at the time. Afterwards, Batu and Mongol Khan Guiyou were at war with each other. When the situation was critical, Guiyou died violently. Batu used thunderous means to support Meng Ge as the Khan and became the talker of the Mongol Empire.
