Recommend an amazing new work of Machiavellian strategy "Mountains and Rivers" - a wonderful symphony of layout, human nature and history. If you like: ✔️The precise layout and feelings of family and country like "Nirvana in Fire" ✔️The official ecology and historical thickness like "The Ming Dynasty 1566" ✔️The compact rhythm and market fireworks like "The Twelve Hours of Chang'an" ✔️The grassroots protagonist's wisdom and growth step by step in a desperate situation Then, "Mountains and Rivers Are Notes" will be your must-read of the year! 🌊 A quick look at the highlights of the work 📖 High-concept suspense, entering the game right from the beginning. His father was an official of the Qintian Prison. He had been stargazing for 28 years, but he "lost his footing" and drowned in the moat, leaving only half a rubbing engraved with a strange star map and a prophecy: "In the eyes of the sky, the dragon's veins begin to appear." Shen Mo, the son of a criminal official, had no place in the capital and was forced to go south to Jinmen to seek refuge with his relatives. He originally wanted to keep his name anonymous and investigate his father's unjust case, but he didn't know that he was stepping into a whirlpool more dangerous than the capital city - here, the water transport was shrouded in darkness, hawks and dogs were rampant in the East Factory, and behind the disappearing grains and silver, there were implicated the deepest secrets of the palace, and an "old troubled incident" that could overthrow the dynasty. ⚔️ The battle of wits escalates layer by layer, and the plan is tightly integrated. The story refuses "gold fingers". The protagonist Shen Mo's weapons are only observation, reasoning and the precise grasp of people's hearts: - Chapter 1: During the assassination at the ferry, he quickly saved people with a pole and wind lantern, met the mysterious woman Xiao Luan, and received a token. - Chapter 2: In order to save his savior Zhou Shian, he visited the Water Transport Department alone at night, stole the real account books recording the corrupt water supply, and met the Dongchang master "Grey Falcon" on a narrow road. - Chapter 3: Teaming up with Xiao Luan, they decided on a combination of "account books + witnesses + creating chaos", aiming directly at Dongchang's money bag in Jinmen - Yongfeng Warehouse. - Chapter 4 (Climax): Zi Shi sneaked into the heavily guarded C library, found smuggled opium, and decided to set it on fire! As the flames burned the sky, I started a life-and-death chase with the Gray Falcon, and ended up seriously injured and falling into the river. My life or death was uncertain... This is only the first volume! The plot is like the meshing of precision gears, every choice has a price, and every failure is fraught with danger. 👥 The group portrait is full, no one is a tool - Shen Mo: From "sober observer" to "chess-breaker", the arc of growth is clear. His wisdom lies in using the environment and rules, rather than transcendent "foreknowledge". - Xiao Luan: A mysterious noblewoman with outstanding skills and a deep and extensive intelligence network. She helps Shen Mo not only to repay her kindness, but also to use her hands to stir up the chess game and pursue the family mission. Calm and decisive, she is a very charming female planner. - Guo Quan and Gray Falcon: not stereotyped villains. As the confidant of the Admiral of Dongchang, Guo Quan is ruthless and greedy, but he also knows how to survive in the palace; Gray Falcon is a top hunter and tracker, and the confrontation with Shen Mo is a pure contest of intelligence and will. - Zhou Shian, Wang Bingde: little people trapped in the chess game. A cowardly and fearful scribe who is forced into a desperate situation, and a greedy businessman who leaves behind to protect himself. Their struggles and choices make the world of machinations more realistic. 🌌 The situation is grand, but there are thousands of miles of grass and snakes. The story begins with the water transportation corruption case, but quickly involves: - Palace power struggle: Qingliu leader Yang Sichang vs. Eunuch tycoon Feng Bao, the head-on confrontation between the water transportation governor and Dongchang in Jinmen. - Historical mystery: The legend of the "Cangming Relic" of the previous dynasty is intertwined with the secret past of the "Jingnan Campaign" of the current dynasty, pointing to a huge secret that may shake the foundation of the country. - Multi-party game: In addition to Shen Mo/Xiao Luan, Yang Sichang, and Guo Quan on the surface, there is also a mysterious "third-party killer" force looming, with the target directly on Shen Mo's life. - Profound theme: explores the price of power, the decay and reconstruction of order, and the choices and perseverance of small people in the torrent. ✍️ The writing is solid and the atmosphere is full - exquisite details: the tricks of grain loss, the routine of falsifying account books, and the methods of Dongchang investigation and counter-inspection are all well-founded, creating a real and credible world of maneuvering. - Sharp narrative: Flexible switching of multiple perspectives (Shen Mo, Xiao Luan, Yang Sichang, Guo Quan), comprehensive display of the chess game, relaxed rhythm, and descriptions of scenes such as fighting and arson with a strong visual sense. - Restrained lyricism: the emotional portrayal is deep and restrained. Shen Mo's remembrance of his father, Zhou Shi'an's fear and guilt, and Xiao Luan's loneliness and determination are all integrated into actions and details, making the story invisibly moving. 🎯 What kind of readers is it suitable for? - Machiavellian enthusiasts: obsessed with ingenious layouts, human calculations, factional battles, and like "unexpected and reasonable" reversals of wits. - Readers of historical texts: pursue a certain historical texture and description of officialdom ecology, and like stories to unfold against a solid background of the times. - Growth flow fans: Appreciate the protagonist's solid growth from weak to strong, relying on wisdom and resilience to start in a desperate situation. - Plot control: pursue a story with strong suspense, fast pace, and multiple threads, and refuse to add water or routines. 📖 Read the famous quotes to get a glimpse of the style. "The fog is an excellent cover, but it also brings unknowns. The visibility is less than ten steps, and all sounds - the watchman's bang in the distance, the barking of wild dogs, and even his own heartbeat and breathing - are distorted, amplified and reflected back indistinctly by the fog, making it difficult to judge distance and direction. He must rely on memory and touch." "The cold hard corners of the account book touched the wound, bringing a clear sense of pain. This pain kept him awake. His father's face, Zhou Shi'an's fearful eyes, the cold short blade of the gray falcon, the soaring fire of the C-word library... Countless pictures flashed through his mind in confusion. He survived, but the battle is far from over." "The storm started at the end of Qingping. Now, the fire in Jinmen has been burning. Can it really burn out the filth and light up the road to the fog of the capital? Shen Mo, will your variable be the key to breaking the situation, or... The beginning of another disaster?" 🔥 Why is it worth updating? This is a sincere work with high energy from the beginning, far-reaching layout and full stamina. The author's control of the logic of power, the depiction of characters, and the creation of historical atmosphere all show his profound skills. With the emergence of the main plot of "Cangming's Relic", the story pattern is rapidly escalating from the local turmoil in Jinmen to a shocking mystery sweeping the court and the world. Can Shen Mo survive serious injuries and round-up? What is Xiao Luan's true identity and purpose? Can Yang Sichang's Qingliu Sword cut off the eunuch's black hands? Who is the mysterious "third party"? What subversive secrets are hidden in the "Eye of Cangming"? All suspense has been laid. The chess game is open, and there are no regrets for your moves. If you are tired of mindless novels and long for a feast of power and intrigue that truly tests your IQ, touches your heartstrings, and has a grand layout - then please start reading "Mountains and Rivers Are Notes" immediately. This journey into the depths of the Empire's mists will never let you down.
