    Searching for novels about the late Tang and Five Dynasties period on this platform yields almost nothing good; they're all subpar. These two are the only two I found that are reasonably readable. The first one has a rather low rating, but it's actually quite well-written, although the first female lead is a bit unpleasant. The very end is somewhat rushed and unresolved. The second one is quite unusual, about a time traveler becoming the last emperor of the late Tang Dynasty, which is rather novel, but the ending also feels somewhat rushed and unresolved.

    Family, I've been suffering from a reading slump lately, frantically searching for novels set in the mid-to-late Tang Dynasty, featuring characters who either turn the tide of war or establish a regional power. And I've finally struck gold! Novels like "Reclaiming Anxi, Reopening the Tang Dynasty (The King of Anxi)," "Iron-Blooded Mid-Tang," and "Iron-Blooded Late Tang" all feature protagonists who unexpectedly transmigrate into the mid-Tang Dynasty, becoming slaves captured by the Tibetans. They escape, join the Tang army, and fight their way through blood and fire, helping the Tang Dynasty regain its glory—super exciting!
