I want to read a book similar to "Making the Surname Langya". A story about a protagonist who rises from the bottom and becomes a hero could be slower and more enjoyable.
He recruited millions of civilians to dig the North-South Canal, broke through the clans and established the first imperial examination, which was obviously an initiative that would benefit the future. However, he exhausted the people's power because of his eagerness for quick success and instant gain. As you read, you will understand that his vision was ultimately defeated by the times and the hearts of the people.
This book of the Three Kingdoms is okay. The protagonist Liao Hua has five dragon generals - the green dragon Guan Yu, the black dragon Dian Wei, the tyrannical dragon Zhang Fei, the yellow dragon Huang Zhong, and the white dragon Zhao Yun! [Seeking attention]
