   All characters suffer tragic endings. In the chaotic Three Kingdoms period, everyone is caught in the crossfire; the sweeter the beginning, the more painful the end. This is true in over a dozen parallel worlds, where all beings suffer, desires are unfulfilled, and happiness is never possible. (Multiple perspectives in the side stories, even more heartbreaking moments) The second male lead, Zhuge Ke, is a mirror; his tragic life reflects the suffering of everyone. He secretly loves the most talented man. He appears thirty chapters late, missing out on opportunities by seven or eight years, loving painfully and humbly. In his final desperate act of madness, he dies, his clan is wiped out, and he suffers eternal damnation. His name is repeatedly tarnished by many. Even after his death, more people continue to discover traces of his deep love. In over a dozen different side story "IF" scenarios, he still cannot achieve a happy ending (he is tortured countless times in different ways).

   In a post-apocalyptic world overrun by zombies, Wu Xin, a freshman at Tsinghua University, awakens a summoning system amidst despair—the spirits of Chinese heroes like Yue Fei, Zhuge Liang, and Guan Yu cross time and space to arrive, with civil officials devising strategies and military generals conquering new territories. This is not a one-man show, but an epic tale of responsibility, wisdom, and the rebuilding of civilization. The book is packed with exciting moments yet logically sound: the oppressive atmosphere of the apocalypse is palpable, the sense of accomplishment from infrastructure development is overwhelming, and the clash between ancient and modern times offers both thrilling battles and the down-to-earth charm of heroes watching short videos on their phones. The romance is a refreshing change—Lin Wanqiu's cold-faced vigil and Su Wanning's gentle companionship create a subtle ambiguity hidden within their tacit understanding during battles, restrained yet undeniably captivating. From a school team to countless worlds, witness how an ordinary young man raises the banner of civilization, leading Chinese heroes to conquer a shattered world. This post-apocalyptic journey is neither mindless nor vulgar; it awaits your participation!

    Reader note

    The captivating plot of *The Romance of the Later Zhao Dynasty, Volume One: The Biography of Shi Le* primarily revolves around Shi Le's legendary life and the early power struggles and military conflicts of the Later Zhao. Key highlights include: 1. The Legendary Journey of a Slave's Rise to Power: Shi Le, of Jie ethnicity, was captured and enslaved in his early years. Living in the chaotic late Western Jin Dynasty, he gradually accumulated power through exceptional military talent and political acumen. Seizing the opportunity presented by Guo Fan's siege of Chang'an and the chaotic situation in Guanzhong, he continuously expanded his influence, ultimately breaking free from class constraints and formally establishing the Later Zhao regime in 319. This marked his dramatic rise from a lowly slave to the founding monarch, a process filled with ups and downs and forming the core of the story. 2. Military Intrigue and Power Struggles During the Hegemony Period: After the establishment of the Later Zhao, constant warfare occurred between the north and south. The book details several brilliant battle plans: In the south, Zu Ti of the Eastern Jin Dynasty led an invasion northwards, while in the north, the Xianbei Duan clan was embroiled in internal strife. Duan Pi, allied with Shao Xu, the governor of Ji Province of the Jin Dynasty, attacked Duan Mo Pi, leaving the rear vulnerable. Emperor Shi Le and his strategist Zhang Bin accurately seized the opportunity, arranging for General Kong Chang to lead troops to attack Yanci, while simultaneously deploying forces to intercept Duan Pi's returning reinforcements. This vividly portrays the details of strategic judgment and tactical planning during the chaotic struggle for supremacy. 3. Power Struggles Before and After Shi Le's Death: The plot during Shi Le's illness was extremely intense. At that time, court officials repeatedly advised Shi Le to eliminate his ambitious nephew Shi Hu, but Shi Le, believing his plan to be sound, did not heed the advice. After Shi Le fell critically ill, Shi Hu immediately sealed off the palace and forged an edict to recall all of Shi Le's sons stationed in the outer towns to the capital for control. After Shi Le's death, Shi Hu directly kidnapped Crown Prince Shi Hong, arrested and killed court officials loyal to Shi Le, and proclaimed himself Prime Minister and King of Wei, seizing absolute power. This subsequently triggered a series of events, including rebellions by local generals and a conspiracy between Empress Dowager Liu and Prince Pengcheng Shi Kan to launch a campaign against Shi Hu, fully demonstrating the brutality of power transitions in the early Later Zhao dynasty.
