New book is online. Please recommend! The Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms is very slow to develop (in the early stage, I watched soy sauce), no system, no technology, no pretense, no brainlessness, no blood, no time travel, no thermal weapons, no golden fingers, no protagonist halo, but there is history, there are wars, there are characters, there are calculations, and strategies, the adopted son usurps power to control the feudal towns, and then unifies the world, and continues the five hundred years of the Tang Dynasty!

Just recommend this one. A rare low-level plot and the daily stories of small officials and people in the county. The exquisite details and simple descriptions of the world make you feel like you are being transported into the old days of the two Song Dynasties a thousand years ago. It's not a cool article, but it's emotionally refreshing. It's not Machiavellian, but humane and worldly. There is no CP, no cheats, no modern knowledge dimensionality reduction attack, super realistic ancient world sentiments. The word count is almost a million, and it's so plump and juicy that it's ready to be read. Disadvantages: slow to develop, not a cool novel, no CP, the plot is not very ups and downs, a few chapters are too detailed, don't fall into this trap if you are impatient.
