Longing for You in Chang'an 长相思在长安
Longing in Chang'an is the fourth novel in the Tang Palace Love and Hate series. It connects somewhat with the third book, The Fortunate Consort Doulu (http://www.jjwxc.net/onebook.php?novelid=3118303&chapterid=1), but since the story of the male lead Li Bai's origins stretches back several generations, this book is most closely connected to the first, Love and Hate in the Zhenguan Era (http://www.jjwxc.net/onebook.php?novelid=2829776&chapterid=1).

The Beauty's Five Marriages 佳人五嫁
This is the third installment in the "Astonishingly Singular Favor" series. The heroine is Song Yi, the beloved consort of Sima Shao, Emperor Ming of Eastern Jin.

Since Tuli was born in 603 AD and the Sui Dynasty fell when he was fifteen, after one or two years of turmoil had already interrupt

The Legend of Empress Deng 邓后传奇
This is the second book in the Astonishingly Exceptional Favor series. The heroine is Empress Deng Sui, Empress He Xi of the Eastern Han Dynasty.

The Azure Waters of My Homeland 故国天水碧
