   It focuses on the psychological description of the characters. The motivations of the characters are reasonable and the path to come is clear. People's choices are often affected by the environment, but those with a strong will can not be influenced by the environment. Some people have been wronged but just want to reach the top of power. However, some people see how difficult the people's livelihood is and choose to be dedicated to the world and the people. Each character is vivid, some are sophisticated egoists, those who are good at maneuvering, and some are selfless. The confrontation of human nature slowly unfolds, but who is the balance of history leaning towards? The world is unkind and treats all things as stupid dogs. It turns out that life is just a dream and history does not stop for anyone.

    Reader note

    For well-written old-style Machiavellian essays, of course you must read these two books. The heroine of the first book is called Jun Lin, who rules the world. At first, she disguised herself as a man, but later she returned to her female form. The heroine is very ambitious. She was raised as an emperor since she was a child. She was not forced to rise to power. Her dream since she was a child is to dominate the world. The heroine has the strongest force in the whole story, she is smart and alert, and she is decisive in killing, which is super exciting to watch. Moreover, the emotional lines between the heroine and the various male characters are also very good, but of course her main task is to dominate the world. The logic of the whole text is relatively rigorous, there are no particularly mentally retarded plots, and the writing is good. The second book is also a book where a man disguises himself as a woman. The heroine is a smart and almost demonic type, but relatively sickly and weak, which is my type. The ending is unexpected, but it is reasonable and has foreshadowing. The whole text is logically rigorous and well written. It's not a loss if you invest in shares.
