This book is the sixth part of the "The Last Princess" series. The heroine is Li Wei, the princess of the plains at the end of the Tang Dynasty. There are very few records about this princess in official history. There is only one paragraph describing that she was forced to marry Song Kan, the son of Li Maozhen, the Fengxiang Jiedushi who was given the national surname. However, during her wedding period, the more powerful Xuanwu Jiedushi Zhu Quanzhong forced Li Maozhen to send her back to Chang'an. As for whether she and Song Kan developed a romance during their short marriage, and whether she remarried after returning to her father, emperor and mother, the history books did not mention a word, giving the author of this book a lot of room to play.
Although this book touches on the love life of Princess Pingyuan, that is not the focus of the book. This book mainly focuses on describing the tragic scenes of Zhu Quanzhong's persecution of the Tang royal family during his usurpation of the Tang Dynasty through the experiences of Princess Pingyuan, as well as the turmoil from Zhu Liang to the post-Tang Dynasty. These are parts that history textbooks tend to brush over, but they are historical facts worth understanding in depth. I hope readers of this book will cherish the peaceful years they have even more while lamenting the glorious fall of the Tang Dynasty!
Since this period of history is full of incredible events, this book is close to the context of official history and is slightly dramatized, which will be very attractive to readers. In addition to the protagonist's longing for two places and hatred between country and family, the life-and-death love between the two supporting characters Zhu Yougui and Zhang Zhenniang will also be deeply touching. I believe this historical novel that focuses on plot will win praise from readers!
Purpose: To show how uncontrollable the turmoil in the late Tang Dynasty was, to emphasize the value of social stability.
