War Clouds Over the Three Feudatories: Kangxi and Wu Sangui's Gamble 三藩狼烟：康熙与吴三桂的赌局 Drinking Wine and Discussing Swords煮酒论剑Historical10k WordsCompleted This is a war between a young emperor and a decaying warlord. When Wu Sangui raised the banner of overthrowing the Qing and restoring the Ming and launched his rebellion, quite a few warlords who had built up their own power answered his call. The land of China was shrouded in turmoil, and the Kangxi Emperor’s orders reached no farther than a few northern provinces.

Then take a look at Xiao He’s guide to breaking through the “ceiling” of the civil service!

Li Mingxia never imagined that working overtime could cost him his life. When he woke up, he was lying 120 meters underground. The only things beside him were a dead rat and a girl as thin as a nail. The year was 2700. Earth had become a desert, and humanity huddled underground, scraping by with steam engines and gears. The various factions would kill over a single pot of clean water, and a glowing, dark-silver mark had appeared on his wrist. “Sta 2Reads—Score—Shelves

As a result, the decaying Qing dynasty managed to stagger on for several more decades.

Did you know that the tyrant Emperor Yang of Sui was actually more capable than most emperors? Do you know the stain on the life of Li Shimin, —Reads8.1Score—Shelves
  7. Wu and Yue Vie for Supremacy: Who Says Sleeping on Brushwood and Tasting Gall Is Enough to Win? 吴越争雄：谁说睡个柴堆尝个苦胆就能赢？ Drinking Wine and Discussing Swords煮酒论剑Historical11k WordsCompleted This is not a tale about a beautiful woman bringing ruin, nor is it merely an inspiring story about striving to improve oneself. The tangled loves and hatreds between two small vassal states in the southeastern corner of China some 2,500 years ago still move us today. Their triumphs and failures, life and death, joys and sorrows are certainly heartbreaking, but even more worthy of reflection is how the ability to read the times amid shifting fortunes decisively shaped the fates of those involved —Reads8.1Score—Shelves

The temple has no statues or incense offerings, only faded murals on its walls: the Yellow Emperor asking Guangchengzi about the Dao, Yu the Great controlling the floods and dividing the land into nine provinces, and Celestial Master Zhang Tianshi exorcising demons at Mount Qingcheng. He has kept watch for ten years, until an ancient jade tablet engraved with the words “Mountains and Seas” appears. A bald man f —Reads—Score—Shelves
