Whoever controlled Liangzhou, Ganzhou, and Shazhou held the lifeline of the northwest, so these three powers fought fiercely while also dealing with the central Chinese court and the surrounding big players.

   Shen Lie led his army on a campaign to Germany. Amidst the fierce battles, he found the standard Tang Dynasty rations unpalatable. This Shandong man, craving something sweet, decided to cook for himself, mixing beef dumpling filling from his hometown to satisfy his craving. Just as he was stirring the fragrant meat filling, a local nobleman rushed into the tent, bowing to report on the front lines. The nobleman noticed the bright red raw meat filling in the bowl and curiously inquired what kind of delicacy the general was preparing. Shen Lie, seized by a mischievous impulse, deliberately put on a serious face and exaggerated, "This is a secret, invincible delicacy of our Great Tang Dynasty. Eating it raw will strengthen your body and make you invincible in battle. Only trusted confidants and nobles are allowed to enjoy it!" The local nobleman believed him, considering it a treasure. Upon returning home, he imitated the recipe, and it gradually spread among European nobles. Centuries later, this "Tang Dynasty ration" that Shen Lie had casually coined, after several improvements, became the classic appetizer in Michelin-starred restaurants today—Beef Tartare. Even Mr. Bean paid homage to this "food of deception" originating from a famous Tang Dynasty general in his works, making it a wonderful crossover between ancient and modern times.

   The extreme tug-of-war under feudal ethics: she was the "daughter of a disgraced official" whom he was determined to marry, even if it meant crossing class barriers. While everyone mocked Shen Zhixu as a discarded pawn returning for the "selection of concubines," only Gu Yanchu knew this was his only chance, the one he had waited six years for! The social class distinctions and imperial oppression of the ancient era became catalysts for their love. She bore the stain of her family's disgrace, he was a newly rich nobleman sitting high in the court; one trampled by all, the other adored by all—seemingly worlds apart. Yet, on the eve of the selection, he dared to use his power as the Vice Minister of the Court of Judicial Review to forcefully intercept her! It wasn't a simple hero rescuing a damsel in distress; it was a rescue under the guise of marriage, done when she was most desperate. This forbidden embrace, defying societal norms and risking imperial decree, is simply breathtaking! Witness how an ancient man and woman break through shackles, without any magic formula, only two hearts clinging tightly to each other in the dust. This is not just love, but a silent rebellion against feudal rules! For those who love heart-wrenching romances set in ancient times, this is absolutely the best book of the year!

    One of the main characters is the senior disciple of an enemy sect, a truly refreshing character design. On the surface, he's a universally acknowledged handsome swordsman, dressed in white with a red mole, praised by everyone for his gentle and refined demeanor. In reality, he's a low-energy, naturally ditzy individual with an absurdly peculiar thought process. When someone makes sarcastic remarks about him, he doesn't notice and even thanks them sincerely; when someone insults him, he automatically filters out the parts that resonate with him, even feeling touched after being scolded, saying, "So, I am special in your eyes." The most infuriating thing is that he's secretly liked someone for many years. He can recite a casual remark she made on the street word for word, and when asked why he remembers it so clearly, he only says, "I have a good memory." He's been pretending to be gentle for so long that he even believes it himself, but when he gets anxious, he slips up, secretly changing his address to "Fellow Daoist Mu," and is overjoyed to avoid being scolded. Another time, the seme (male lead) mocks his lack of popularity. A normal person would have sensed the tension, but he, with sparkling eyes, extracts the only useful information: "So, I am special in the eyes of Daoist Changshi." The seme is speechless on the spot, and the reader dies on the spot. This subtle, affectionate tone combined with a natural air of naiveté is far more lethal than a direct approach. He's already completely won, yet he remains oblivious.
