    This is a historical time-travel novel, with the historical line as the main line, the emotional line as the auxiliary line, and the character curve as the inner line. It tells the reincarnation of Liu He, the only emperor, king, marquis, and citizen in Chinese history, and the story of a time-traveler who used his life to defeat historical plunder, rewrite the falsified history of the Western Han Dynasty, correct his name, and restore his innocence. This book strives to prove that the cultural relics unearthed from the tomb of Haihunhou are of extremely important historical value for studying the politics, economy, society, culture, and all aspects of people's lives in the Western Han Dynasty! The novel takes history, love, and philosophy as its themes, and uses the surreal time and space in which myths and stories change hands in the human world. It uses history, historical geography, and archeology to cross the boat. Through the author's natural, delicate and warm writing style and the highly graphic and immersive film and literary story creation techniques, it restores the possible historical truth for us, and demonstrates the unique image of "Dihe" who is as gentle as jade, loves the people like a son, and his lifelong pursuit of the ideal of social harmony. The "story core" involves historical truth, love choices and inner growth. The plot is full of suspense and uses montage techniques to show the intersection of multiple parallel time and space. "Dream of Red Mansions" displays the excellent traditional culture of the Chinese nation. From the dimension of the Qiang epic, it traces the historical and cultural matrix of the Chinese nation through the process of national migration and integration, and searches for the cultural roots of the Chinese nation along the half-moon-shaped cultural transmission belt of the "Chinese Arc".

    Let's start with a story about dream core psychological science fiction. Inception similar to One Hundred Years of Solitude? It's a slow-burning, slightly scary, serious drama, not a cool novel, no system, no time travel, some gothic suspense style, some psychological reasoning and adventure flavor, some hard-core knowledge mixed with literature, art, psychology, mysticism, mathematics or theoretical physics, but at its core it is dystopian romanticism. 💓💓The early plot focuses on modern times and the near future. It is a niche experimental work that reflects on the process of industrialized civilization based on the embodied dream of society and human nature. If you like psychology-related topics, let's read it from the beginning. If you want to understand the fantasy basis of the story first, you can read the chapters after Chapter 111.
