   Reader note

   While others write about "becoming emperor," he writes about "establishing humanity"—a northern epic reconstructing China with potatoes and laws. If you open this book expecting to see the protagonist conquer the world with swords and spears, and become emperor in three years, please close the book. But if you wish to witness a revolution that, without the bloodshed of a palace massacre, completely rewrites the fate of the nation; if you believe that true benevolence lies not in burning books and burying scholars alive, but in establishing women's colleges, abolishing slavery, and setting up granaries; then please step into this world where the sun hangs in the air—here are no typical wish-fulfillment novel tropes, only how a single potato can leverage three hundred years of national destiny. With astonishing skill, the author transforms the darkest hour after the An Lushan Rebellion into an experimental field for the reconstruction of civilization. Li Qingtian did not defy the heavens with a system, but instead used the peace bought with the lives of four thousand soldiers to fulfill a promise: "Under my rule, the old will not be destitute, and the young will not be without food." Thus we see: While others write about war, he writes about the aftermath of war: the corpses of Yan soldiers are burned to prevent plague, the bones of civilians are wrapped in brocade and buried together in the "Tomb of Peace for the People"; while others write about power struggles, he writes about establishing trust through systems: public trials of spies, dissemination of the "Edict for the Relief of Loyal Ministers," and the story of "Yang the Commoner" shaking the literati; while others write about farming, he writes about the revival of the people's hearts: children burying seeds by graves, merchants from the north shouting "Peace in the North is better than in Chang'an," and old farmers kneeling to offer soil, saying "The earth's spirit has not died." The most awe-inspiring part is not the Red Flame Dragon Cavalry's defeat of the enemy, but the 50,000-strong army circling the field ridges without trampling a single seedling of spring wheat. The character portrayals are unforgettable: Guo Ziyi is loyal but not foolish, preferring to borrow troops from the northern border rather than let the Uyghurs enter the pass; Pugu Huai'en is grieved but not rebellious, raising troops to purge the emperor's corrupt advisors but refusing to surrender to the northern border; Yang Mi, wielding the pen under the name of "a commoner of the world," issues edicts faster than a knife; Emperor Daizong abdicates on his deathbed not because of coercion, but because he cannot bear to see another drop of blood shed in Chang'an. The book also subtly reveals a grand vision: from the Yingzhou Rebellion to the An Lushan Rebellion, from the Tubo in Longyou to the eastward expansion of the Abbasid Caliphate, the author reveals that the decline of the Tang Dynasty was not due to a single traitor, but because the entire system lost the ability to "make the people dare to believe in tomorrow." Li Qingtian's new policies are a response to this: opening a women's college, abolishing slavery, implementing a potato tax, establishing Ever-Normal Granaries… each policy directly addresses the root causes of the old order's ills. Fantasy elements? A lotus flower in the left pupil, a demonic pattern in the right, a sword containing the whispers of a celestial demon—but these never overshadow the main theme. They are merely mirrors reflecting human nature: the greatest demon is never in the abyss, but in the despair of the human heart towards order. Ultimately, when Li Qingtian ascended the throne, he did not sit on the dragon throne, but stood below the jade steps, announcing five new policies. When the Heavenly Demon demanded a blood sacrifice, he pushed open the palace doors—outside were not mountains of corpses and seas of blood, but the lights of Wenhua Academy, the sounds of the night market, and the green of new potato fields. "This is my blood sacrifice—to offer peace to all people and atone for the destruction of the old world." This is not a wish-fulfillment story; it is a tragic epic of mortals rebuilding China. It tells us: true destiny lies not in the prophecies of the Tui Bei Tu, but in the moment a child dares to bury a seed by a grave; the true Great Wall lies not in its bricks and stones, but in the will of the people that "the northern border is the Great Wall." If you crave a work that possesses both the starkness of the *Zizhi Tongjian* and the warmth of the *Classic of Poetry* ("The people are weary, but they can finally enjoy a modest life"); if you believe that historical turning points often begin with a bowl of hot porridge, a new seedling, or the words, "With the northern border secured, the people have no worries"—then please open this book. For here, gods and demons will eventually retreat, but the human spirit will never die!

    From a gambler who crawled out of the mud of Jingkou to the founding emperor of the Southern Song Dynasty, Liu Yu's life is a magnificent and epic tale. This novel, using the mysterious perspective of the "Diviner with a Sword," intertwines the weight of history with the enigma of fate: the bloody massacre at Guanggu City, the weeping of a loyal minister amidst the crisis in Jiankang, the walls built of white bones at Tongwan City, the mulberry and hemp fields of Longcheng… In a chaotic world where heroes vied for power, everyone sought their own "destiny." Liu Yu, burdened with the pain of losing his wife, the betrayal of his brothers, and the heavy responsibility of his country, repeatedly chose between the blade and human nature. The Diviner with a Sword's words, "A sharp blade and a righteous heart, worthy of the people," reveals not only one person's fate but also the very theme of an entire era. Here, there is the iron-fisted decisiveness of killing, the tenderness of love, the sorrow of fratricide, and the long eve of an emperor's abdication. It fully depicts the loneliness of heroes and the desolation of a chaotic world.

    Reader note

    From the summer of the third year of the Kangxi Emperor's reign, when a soul transmigrated into the body of Irgen Gioro Xilun, a Manchu general, to the spring of the 4405th year of the Yellow Emperor's calendar, Wei Han completed his legendary life. He opposed the Qing Dynasty and sought to restore the Ming, yet he also deposed the Ming and established his own dynasty; he expanded the territory, yet he promoted constitutional government; he strengthened imperial power, yet he also limited it; he killed countless people, yet he loved his people like his own children. His life was full of contradictions, yet within these contradictions, he forged a new path. He established an unprecedented empire: an area exceeding 40 million square kilometers, a population of 500 million, four fleets dominating the seas, nascent railways and telegraphs, a parliament and cabinet that checked and balanced each other, women allowed to take the imperial examinations, and monogamy was enshrined in law... He established an unprecedented rule: the emperor must abdicate at the age of 65. He left behind an unprecedented situation: European countries bowed in submission, India and Southeast Asia were won over, the Americas and Australia were newly opened, and the empire was at its zenith. Now, he is gone. But what he left behind is a vast empire with unprecedented territory, at the height of its power, with nascent systems, and full of vitality.

    This is a historical novel with a serious plot, set against the backdrop of the war between the Western Han Dynasty and the Xiongnu over the Western Regions. The male protagonist is of mixed Han and Xiongnu descent, skilled in using a bow and spear. The first battle appears in Chapter 21, after which various forces gradually emerge, making the story increasingly exciting. In the end, the protagonist returns to the Han Dynasty, awakens his bloodline, avenges his blood feud, repels the Xiongnu, pacifies the Western Regions, and experiences fateful romances with several girls (not a harem novel). This book encompasses everything: nation and country; war; political intrigue and coups; love and destiny; betrayal and revenge… and much more.
