   I rarely give perfect scores, but this one absolutely deserves one! No melodramatic plot twists, no romance, just pure patriotism and passionate fervor! The most popular novel I've ever read! While I understand the plot is idealized, isn't this ideal our own goal? Isn't it the ultimate ideal for which our ancestors sacrificed their lives? The only slightly off-putting aspect is the modern setting 😖. Perhaps it's necessary for plot conflict, but it's really illogical. It feels like the time traveler is connecting to Taipei instead of Beijing… Aside from one old professor, all the modern characters are, at their core, lackeys of the corrupt and self-serving class. Saying it's a special group established by a major power is illogical. However, it's still quite entertaining as a source of plot conflict. I hope for a grand finale where the crimson flag flies high across the world! This isn't just an expectation for a wish-fulfillment novel; it's the future we must inevitably move towards!

    Reader note

    In that parallel Tang Dynasty world, Li Chengqian's appearance was like a shooting star streaking across the night. He was originally the heir apparent of the Prince of Qin's mansion, yet he arrived with the decisive ruthlessness of a modern ruler. While Li Shimin hesitated, Li Chengqian displayed astonishing courage, his words, "Father, if you don't rebel, then I will!" Striking like a thunderclap. He deeply understood the course of history and knew that hesitation could not jeopardize the future of the Tang Dynasty. However, his forceful methods aroused the dissatisfaction of the Five Clans and Seven Noble Families. Accusations of "killing uncles and ministers, rebellious and immoral! You are unworthy of your position!" Poured in. But Li Chengqian paid no heed. He was like a king expanding his territory, even facing the skepticism of the entire court. Even the imperial relatives held him in awe, for Li Chengqian was a ruthless figure who dared to act against even his uncles, elders, and the retired emperor. He seemed to wield a golden finger, freely changing everything in this Tang Dynasty world according to his own will. Especially towards the Five Clans and Seven Noble Families, Li Chengqian showed no mercy. When the Imperial Guards escorted his entire family to Luoyang, the Eastern Capital, Li Chengqian, despite Li Shimin's pleas for mercy, only reduced the punishment from executing nine generations of his clan to exterminating three generations, revealing his undeniable arrogance. This crown prince of the Tang Dynasty was leading the world towards change in a unique way, as thorough as the Industrial Revolution, and as full of unknowns and challenges as the Age of Exploration.
