The Regret in My Heart Cannot Be Soothed [Historical Livestream]

I have ten regrets:

First, Ying Zheng took the title of First Emperor, yet the Qin dynasty lasted only two generations.

Second, the Han split into Eastern and Western, and the dynasty's three revivals never came to pass.

Third, Huo Qubing conquered the Xiongnu at Langjuxu, yet died young.

Fourth, the golden age still lay ahead, but in the blink of an eye it was all gone.

Fifth, white-haired soldiers guarded the city, but the nation never came to their aid.

Sixth, the Song split into north and south, and the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun were never reclaimed.

Seventh, Yue Wumu died on trumped-up charges, while a hundred thousand soldiers and civilians were buried with the Song at Yashan.

Eighth, Emperor Yingzong was actually restored to the throne, and his ministers went with him.

Ninth, the emperor guarded the nation's gates, and the ruler died for his country.

Tenth, the country shut itself off from the world, bringing a century of national humiliation.

P.S. Please remember this is a parallel world. The complete short story is expected to be 200,000 words.

P.P.S. This synopsis was published on April 3, 2025, and has been screenshotted.

Another P.S.: Next door is a completed million-word novel in the same genre, "A Historical Preview for Qin Shi Huang and Emperor Wu of Han". If you're interested, click on the author's profile to read it.
