   A Tang Dynasty novel that surpasses all Ming Dynasty novels online! I highly recommend the completed 970,000-word historical fantasy novel, *Emperor Renzu of Tang*. All the plot lines are logically sound, and the characters are intelligent. I suggest reading the comments section of the last chapter first; the author has clearly outlined the novel's concept, structure, and theme. This will help readers deeply understand the novel. My personal evaluation: The best historical fantasy novel ever written, far surpassing *A Step into the Past*, *Romance of the Three Kingdoms*, *Romance of the Sui and Tang Dynasties*, *The Ming Dynasty*, *Ming 1566*, and *Joy of Life*. The author has a profound foundation in history, politics, military affairs, literature, and modern industry; judging from the content, he must have at least a bachelor's degree. His cultural, literary, and writing skills far exceed those of the so-called "Five Great Masters of the Central Plains."

    She wasn't unaware he was flirting. She knew every word he said crossed the line, every act of care had boundaries, and every gesture was within those boundaries. But she didn't block him, didn't reject him, didn't say, "Don't try that on me." Because he stopped after six seconds. "The first second, his thumb stopped. The second second, she knew he had stopped. The third second, she didn't move. The fourth second, her index finger gently curled on the sheets. The fifth second, he withdrew his hand. The sixth second, he asked: 'Let's go, let's try.'" Six seconds. No dialogue, no kiss, no confession. Just two highly intelligent adults, communicating their story through their bodies, confirming their feelings through pauses. She continued to observe, he continued to act, continued to walk. Workplace, life, romance—not a single page was wasted.
