King Wu marched against Zhou. After his defeat at Muye, King Zhou retreated with his troops to Lutai and died there. King Wu conquered Shang and led his army to Chaoge. After Muye, Chaoge became history.
Xu Chaoge was the first female official of the Ming Dynasty. She led the excavation of the only Grand Canal on the Yin River, built dams, and divided waterways, devoting her life to flood control. The canal she dug lasted for more than a thousand years, ensuring that the Yin River would never again suffer the kind of living hell it endured in the third year of Jianning. Historical records say very little about Xu Chaoge. Aside from her undeniable achievements, all that remains are accusations that she took bribes, abandoned her husband, and failed to behave as a proper wife should. She was the only female official in the history of the Ming Dynasty, and the only female official condemned as a corrupt official for a thousand years.
Qi Muye was a civil engineer and an utterly ordinary history enthusiast. In her dreams, a woman whose face she could never make out kept appearing. Qi Muye did not know her, yet the woman kept saying goodbye. Qi Muye could not understand the source of her heartache until Xu Chaoge's tomb was accidentally discovered, until the grand scale of its burial treasures appeared before the world, confirming her supposed crimes of corruption, and until Qi Muye saw Xu Chaoge's portrait. It turned out that this inexplicable heartache came from a loss she could do nothing to prevent. The woman in the portrait had once worn the same reddening eyes. She transmigrated again and again, looking back each time, only to find that woman still at the starting point, gently saying goodbye.
Content warnings:
1. Qi Muye is disguised as a man for most of the story. Please don't read if that bothers you.
2. The supporting characters have BG romances. They take up very little space in the story and mostly serve the plot. Please don't read if that bothers you.
3. Early on, Qi Muye considers bringing Xu Chaoge and another person together, but mostly just says it aloud or thinks about it. She has her reasons, takes very little action, and always respects Xu Chaoge's feelings. Still, please don't read if that bothers you.
4. You might cry. Please don't read if that bothers you.

Next book: Chasing
At twenty, Shen Que decided to die. She drew up a careful plan to end her life at thirty. She spent her days wandering through her dark world, waiting for the final moment to arrive. Then, at twenty-four, a crack suddenly opened in her world, and for the first time in her life she saw a glimmer of light. For a while, she gazed at that one and only light with joy. Her light had finally come, but she also knew it had come too late.
The day before the proposal, Lin Zhiyuan learned that Shen Que had died. The woman who was supposed to be the heroine of her future life had left without a word. Shen Que died the day before her thirtieth birthday, and at the time Lin Zhiyuan loved her most.
On a night when she was thirty-five, Lin Zhiyuan watched the recording Shen Que had left behind, then drank herself into a hazy stupor. If only she could stay drunk like this forever, then she could keep seeing that bastard.
When she woke up, she had returned to the age of seventeen. Hearing that person's puzzled voice, Lin Zhiyuan kept calling her name, pouring out years of longing.
No matter how many chances I get, I will still choose you without hesitation. Whatever you choose, I will still run to you, just so I can stay by your side, just so you can live.
"Shen Que, is there anything you regret?"
"Something I regret? Yes." Shen Que's eyes darkened. "You shouldn't have chosen me. You deserve someone better."
"What about you? Do you have any regrets?"
"Yes."
"What?"
Lin Zhiyuan looked up at Shen Que, her gaze unwavering. "I wish I'd met you sooner."
This story is also fully written. I'll start posting once the manuscript is complete. If you're interested, feel free to bookmark it for now.
Theme: Seeing is believing; hearsay is not.
Xu Chaoge and Qi Muye are back. This sentence echoes the beginning and the end, and it was all said by Lu Cun. It feels like Lu Cun's identity is like the existence of every reader. He knows the ending and is in the game, woo woo woo
The author's writing style is very good, and the wording throughout the text is not gorgeous (so it can easily be mistaken for average writing style), but after reading it carefully, you immediately realize that the concept is very clever. The protagonist traveled through time and space many times and tried to change the ending, only to find that she was already a player in the game, and the advancement of history itself was the result of her participation. The plot is well laid out, so when the ending comes, it feels more powerful (suddenly discovering that the painter is himself) (suddenly realizing that we will never see each other again). The reader will have a feeling that he has secretly thought about the subsequent development, and even cannot bear to read it again. The author is undoubtedly a profound feminist, and rarely introduces the appearance of the two protagonists. This is obviously a breakthrough in the gorgeous and luxurious writing style of traditional Lily novels, which are always willing to describe the appearance, family background, and countless suitors of the protagonist. The direct result is that when the author does not pay attention to the appearance of the protagonist, readers will also ignore the appearance of the protagonist and only pay attention to what they are thinking and doing. Just like the real "big shots" in history, they never care about how outsiders think of their appearance. After all, when all the protagonists are school beauties and beauties, it inevitably makes readers think, don't ordinary people deserve to have love and fall in love with the same sex? . In terms of historical narrative, the author's intention is also very profound. The first is to rectify the names of women who really existed in history. After reading it, I couldn't help but wonder whether a considerable number of women have made achievements but their achievements have been stolen. At the same time, people are again paying attention to those historical figures with mixed reviews, such as Zhang Juzheng. After 10 years of reform, his home was ransacked after his death, his family was imprisoned, and his body was exhumed and whipped. People all over the world commented on his corruption, bending the law, knowing the law and breaking the law, and playing with power. However, if we take a closer look at his whipping laws and the reform of the land system during his reign, we can see that everything was based on the people and the country. But no one can help him erase negative comments. After all, the people qualified to write history books are not those who love him most, but those who hate him the most. Just like Chaoge, those who love her most can only watch her die, and those who hate her the most have the right to decide her life achievements. Fortunately, they already live in people's hearts.
It's been a while since I've seen a good article
She didn't keep the jade pendant, flute, or jade ring with her, leaving only a jar of peach blossom wine that we didn't drink together. I really cried to death, Makino deserved it, woo woo woo
Last year, the ancient lovesickness song made me cry; at the beginning of 2024, Makino was born for Chao Ge. I cried to death, woo woo woo
I have reread it twice. This kind of plot is so good. I really have a withdrawal reaction after watching it. Why can't I add more to my collection of such good articles? I really want everyone to discover them.
The author's way of writing is the most painful. He doesn't explain clearly what happened in the intervening ten or eight years. Even major historical events are only mentioned in one stroke. Readers will imagine what might happen while waiting. The more they wait, the more heartache they will feel. Many time-travel TV series end after traveling once and then back. The protagonist is prepared, but the heartache is only at the end. In this time-traveling many times, Xu always had expectations but failed, which made him feel very uncomfortable.
Just meet each other and stay together is fine. After reading novels for so many years, I have become numb. Now I finally came across a book that made my heart skip a beat. It made my heart skip a beat. Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha.
Ah... I'm so happy that Qi Muye and Xu Chaoge are finally no longer separated (crying)
It feels a bit cruel and I dare not watch it, but I hope others can see it.
