The flying eaves, rounded arches, and exquisite mortise and tenon joints were entirely different from European bridges, possessing a rustic charm and showcasing Chinese craftsmanship. The local people had never seen such unique bridges before, and, filled with both hatred and fear of this invincible Eastern army, they felt that such masterful construction could not have been done by ordinary people. Thus, they called these Chinese stone bridges "Devil's Bridges," a name passed down through generations. Centuries later, Han Chinese tourists traveling in Europe encountered these ancient bridges that still stand today. Looking at the familiar Chinese bridge bodies, mortise and tenon structures, and covered bridge style, they felt a strong sense of familiarity and stopped in amazement. They felt a sense of déjà vu, marveling at the sight before them, unaware that these were the imprints of civilization left by Eastern warriors on their westward expedition a thousand years ago.

First, the Qin Dynasty, which unified the realm, fell just two generations later. What a shame. Second, the Tang Dynasty, at the height of its military might and national strength, declined after the An Lushan Rebellion. What a shame. Perhaps it's because I believe in unification that, besides Qin Shi Huang, who united the realm, the emperor I admire most is Tang Taizong Li Shimin, who was outstanding in 105Reads—Score—Shelves

    I devoured over 300 chapters in one go and couldn't stop! It avoids the clichés of mindless wish-fulfillment novels; every step is a twist, and the power struggles between the four kingdoms are brilliantly written. Qi Ming's journey from a passive escape to mastering strategy and manipulating people's hearts—the sense of power and satisfaction in climbing from the bottom—is absolutely amazing. The supporting characters aren't just tools; everyone has their own stance and calculations. Even the villains are charismatic! Neither the male nor female characters are artificially dim-witted or naive. It's incredibly realistic!

    Recommended! The Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms period is a slow-burn story (you can observe and play a minor role in the early stages). There is no system, no halo, no showing off, no mindless gameplay, no technology, no cultivation, but it has history, characters, war, ghosts and gods, and scheming. It emphasizes strategy, with an adopted son usurping power and controlling the regional warlords, eventually sweeping away the other heroes, unifying the world, and continuing the five-hundred-year-old Tang Dynasty!
