One thousand four hundred years have passed since 626 AD, and the world is still arguing over who was responsible for the Xuanwu Gate Incident. The first novel in the series of "Love and Hatred in the Tang Palace", "Love and Hatred in Zhenguan" (formerly known as "Love and Hate of Tang Taizong") is based on the perspective of human psychology and is impartial, hoping to restore the truth behind the Xuanwu Gate Incident in the form of literature and art.
According to research by many scholars (including Chen Yinke), the theory that Li Jiancheng wanted to murder Li Shimin was believed to have been fabricated by Shimin in order to justify the Xuanwumen incident. However, precisely because Li Shimin obtained the throne through evil means, he worked harder to be a good emperor to prove that he was indeed a more suitable successor than Jiancheng. This kind of compensation mentality and the idea of atonement between good and evil is very dramatic. Therefore, this work is much more interesting than ordinary novels and TV series that portray Li Shimin as a completely decent person! In fact, Li Shimin in his youth and prime looks like the most popular male protagonist in today's TV dramas---a domineering CEO and muscular man!
The sadomasochistic relationship between Li Shimin and his sister-in-law who hates him is even more exciting. Although this is a story from the ancient East, it is as cool and passionate, decisive and crazy as the modern Western tango dance. The process of Li Shimin's fierce pursuit in a domineering way to melt the frost beauty was also the sublimation of his sins and a major driving force for the achievement of Zhenguan's rule. The great writer Goethe once said: "The eternal female beckons us upward." (English is The eternal female beckons us upward.), Which can be described as the theme of this historical love novel. How much magical positive energy can a man exert in order to win the admiration of the woman he loves? Please take a look!
Purpose: To elaborate on Goethe's famous saying: Eternal women push us upward.
