    This is not a wish-fulfillment novel. First, it adheres to historical events as closely as possible, avoiding fictional settings. Second, it adheres to the social norms as closely as possible, without a systematic framework. Third, it adheres to the technological level as closely as possible, featuring small inventions. Fourth, it adheres to geographical and natural settings as closely as possible, without flying. Fifth, and most importantly, each chapter includes a seven-character ancient Chinese poem that fits the content of that chapter. Therefore, this book is not a wish-fulfillment novel.
