When the Louvre Meets the Forbidden City (The Deer and the Cauldron Fanfiction)

He was a god of war from the island of Corsica.

His life was marked by countless triumphs and controversies.

He campaigned far and wide, undefeated wherever he went.

Even though his final years were bleak and he died on a remote island in exile,

his name remains an immortal legend!

His people and his enemies will forever remember his glorious life!

As he looked back on his turbulent life on Saint Helena and peacefully closed his eyes, he never could have imagined that this was not the end of his life, but the beginning of another journey, utterly unlike the one before...

A wuxia fanfic, not a historical novel, and not intended to be historically accurate. Feel free to point out errors, but please don't give it a low rating or tear into it over them! It's no good to eat a mantou and then complain that the filling in your baozi is wrong!

P.S. This is a deeply indulgent fantasy by someone who'd written too many serious stories and was feeling stifled. Just read it for fun, and don't take it too seriously. If this story upends your image of any historical figure, please be understanding and feel free to move on. The title comes from a TV program. I thought it was so clever at the time, and I really admire whoever came up with it.

I also want to express my deepest respect to the original author, Jin Yong. I'm a huge fan of his, and I'll probably end up writing indulgent fantasies based on all his works, one by one. I mean no disrespect; I simply love his work sincerely.

This story will become a paid VIP novel on March 6. Anyone interested is welcome to keep reading. Please do not repost it. Thank you!

Theme: Where there's a will, there's a way; people can triumph over fate.
