Reader note
"Desire to the Nine Heavens" is an epic of troubled times that spans more than ten years and gives an overview of the rise and fall of the four kingdoms. It breaks away from the "black and white" formula of traditional Machiavellian novels and plunges its writing into the most real human heart. The two core male protagonists in the book are never flat "decent" and "villain": the first male protagonist Qi Ming went from a wandering boy on the streets of Yong Dynasty to the throne of the Flame Phoenix King. He has a kind side - opening up new opportunities and reducing gifts. There are also mortal struggles between taxing and protecting the people under his rule: facing Pan Chi's Zen position, he refused to give up. He was afraid that he would not be able to shoulder the heavy responsibility of the country, and he was also afraid of the backlash brought by power; in order to protect the people around him, he also wavered at the boundaries of power. The second male protagonist, Xiao Lin, is the iron-blooded emperor of the Yong Dynasty. He killed the emperor in cold blood and subjugated the soldiers, but he also had tenderness for his lover Su Ling'er and the sobriety that "the people's heart is the strongest city wall". He believed in iron-fisted power throughout his life, but after he ascended the throne, he was gradually backlashed by the evil consequences he had planted. The court games throughout the book are intertwined, from the transformation of the Yong Dynasty Palace to the Zen throne of Yanhuang, from the hidden secrets of the Four Kingdoms to the open situation of the Three Kingdoms Alliance. The war scenes are even more magnificent and tragic: the confrontation at Shiping Pass, the surprise attack at Hansu Pass, the fierce battle between the Snowfield and the Xuanshuang Army. Behind each killing, what is written is not a simple victory or defeat, but the collision of different governing logics. The sharpest core of the book is that it puts "people's hearts and minds" absolutely above all plots, wars, and heroic narratives: Xiao Lin tried his best, but because he lost the hearts of the people, he was finally pressed by Qiming's "submission of the people"; Qiming's "catfish theory" and "power comes from the people" governing philosophy are never empty slogans, but are based on the reality of promoting trade and benefiting workers, resettling refugees, and reforming official governance. Even those seemingly inconspicuous little people - the old people guarding the dilapidated inn, the soldiers who were drafted, and the people who were struggling to survive in the war, their choices are the real force that pushes the four countries forward. This is not a novel about "how a hero reaches the top", but a story about how everyone struggles with desire, responsibility, and conscience in troubled times, and is ultimately weighed by the steelyard of "people's hearts."

Then you must read this book. It is a proper plot book, with no rebirth, no time travel, no system. The female protagonist has a peerless appearance and can conquer the country. She is not only strong in martial arts, strategizing, but also brave and strategic. She has the dual identity of a general and a princess. The male protagonist is unparalleledly handsome, a prince, and aloof. It is sinister and domineering, and the battle between the princes for the heir is extremely fierce. The female protagonist is the feelings of family and country. The plot is the main part, and the emotions are supplemented. There are many descriptions of wars and many adventure experiences in the text. It is as exciting as Tomb Raider Notes. The unique plot is worth reading!

Isn't it okay if it's not just an empty one? The history of the Spring and Autumn Period, the original version of Zuo Zhuan. It's much more fun than standing alone. Does Chinese history still need to be emptied out in order to enjoy it? That's because the author is not good at writing stories. It is a historical adventure and conspiracy. The heroine Jing Shu focuses on adventures in the world, while the male director Zhong focuses on the intrigues in the temple. It will help you understand the splendor and majesty of the Spring and Autumn Period, and understand the pain and rebirth of China's birth stage.
