    This is my own work, a historical novel with restrained moments of excitement. It blends court intrigue with the lives of ordinary people, brutal warfare with a touch of romance. The light and humorous tone weaves together a weighty historical narrative. A unique perspective reveals the legend of an ordinary person. There are no overpowered protagonists, no supernatural technology, no stereotypical ensemble casts, and no saccharine, overly satisfying moments. The author brings you this work with heartfelt sincerity and a distinctive writing style! Example: After attending to her husband, Madam Su quickly slipped out of the house. She saw several neighbors whispering in front of her courtyard. Madam Su paused, forced a bitter expression, patted her chest, and exclaimed, "Oh dear, what should I do?" "Don't panic, Madam Liu, what happened to Registrar Liu?" The neighbors asked with great concern. Madam Su breathed a long sigh of relief. "The Emperor has sent two imperial guards to protect my second son. You know, my courtyard is small, how will we manage to live here?" Madam Su looked troubled. Example: The light cavalry quickly dispersed and retreated to the flanks, while the heavy cavalry revealed their ferocity like wild beasts. Dozens of riders formed more than ten columns, facing the Song soldiers directly. The armored horses galloped faster and faster, their thunderous roar like lightning, and they were about to crash into the Song army's ranks. Tuola led the light cavalry around to the flank and rear of the heavy cavalry, waiting for the heavy cavalry to tear open an opening and deliver a fatal blow to the Southerners. "Open!" Commander Zhang Shun roared fiercely. The heavily armored soldiers in front, holding their breastplates, parted to the sides, and hundreds of chevaux-de-frise and palisades were pushed from inside the formation to the front in a matter of breaths. The heavy knights desperately reined in their horses, but the armored horses, already charging, could not stop their momentum and continued to charge forward. The first few warhorses crashed into the chevaux-de-frise, fell to the ground with mournful cries, and their riders were thrown violently out...
