Books That Reflect Real History

I want to read a book similar to "A set of books to read through the Three Kingdoms (7 volumes in total)". I want to read history books that reflect real history without excessive artistic processing. Excessive distortion of facts not only makes reading meaningless, but also distorts values.

Reader note
A graduate student in the Department of Modern History accidentally passed through his soul and became Ye Fashan, a Taoist priest in the early Tang Dynasty. Carrying the memory of two lives, he must not only inherit the magical powers of this Taoist legend in history, but also examine this era from a modern perspective where Buddhism and Taoism run parallel and the undercurrent of exotic religions surges. From his enlightenment in the Taoist temple in Kuocang Mountain to his travel experience in the streets of Chang'an, he used talismans to ward off evil spirits and the skills of stepping and fighting to protect the people. He also used his thorough knowledge to dismantle the witchcraft of Nestorianism (Cross religion) - exposing the "holy water" scam in Liulin Town, breaking the sinister "Blood Lotus Formation" in Guanzhong, and defeating the conspiracy of alienated forces such as A Luohan step by step. He made friends with Li Jing, inspired Li Shimin, and used dreams to legislate the world on the eve of the Xuanwu Gate Incident. In the thirteenth year of Zhenguan, he personally entered the underworld, rewritten the emperor's life span with Taoism, and finally became the master of the Tang Dynasty. The mystery of the connection between heaven and man is hidden in the Zhaijiao rituals, and the philosophy of Lao and Zhuang reveals the Taoist heart of saving the world and bringing peace to people. When the orthodoxy of Taoism encounters the impact of extreme beliefs, and when the torrent of history encounters the changes of travelers, Ye Fashan holds the talisman in his hand and walks on the road. He must not only protect the Taoist lineage in the court and the rivers and lakes, but also use his mysterious power to defend the foundation of a civilization from being swallowed up by evil cults. This is a legend intertwined with magical powers and historical events. It is also a song of Taoism protection in the prosperous Tang Dynasty - observing the way of heaven, determining the way of humanity, talismans fixing mountains and rivers, and the way governs the world.

Reader note
A long historical novel and classic rural literature. A romantic love story with a poignant and touching plot. An old rural house with a century-old history. Starting from the first year of the Republic of China, the epidemic will not end until it is over. The seniors love and hate, and the juniors have emotional entanglements. A cynical and scumbag man, a self-indulgent and resentful woman. A wonderful palace fight drama with a suspenseful climax. A very nice romance novel! A contemporary version of "White Deer Plain"!

Reader note
The characterization is exemplary. The portrayal of the protagonist Sima Yi is extremely successful. It completely shows his transformation trajectory from a young man in Hanoi to an "old thief in Luoshui", and its complexity, contradiction and tragedy are vividly displayed on the page. His machinations, forbearance, coldness, and the remaining painful struggles deep in his heart (such as for Qiu He, Jiang Ji, and Zhang Chunhua) form a huge tension, making this character both awe-inspiring and sighing. The portraits are vivid, including Cao Cao's heroic guessing, Zhuge Liang's tragedy, Cao Pi's gloom, Cao Mao's determination, Jiang Wei's loneliness, Zhong Hui's arrogance, Deng Ai's perseverance, even Jiang Ji's grief and indignation, Xia Houxuan's calmness... Many historical figures have distinctive personalities, each with its own spiritual core and destiny arc, which together form a magnificent picture of the times.

Reader note
[Tomato version of historical records + listener's gospel + historical material background + novel writing style] A ten-million-word epic from the creation of Pangu to the abdication of the last emperor. It does not make nonsense or watermarks. It has both historical truth and delicate interest. The book starts from the abdication and conquests of the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors, to the hegemony and dust of the Qin Emperor and Han Dynasty; from the elegance of the Wei and Jin Dynasties, to the glory of the Sui and Tang Dynasties; from the bustling markets and battlefield wars of the Song and Yuan Dynasties, to the turbulence of the palaces of the Ming and Qing Dynasties, and finally ends with the desolate figure of the last emperor withdrawing from the historical stage, telling you Chinese history from beginning to end.
