A collection of imaginative short stories joking about historical figures. History is far more interesting than we think. This is a brief history of the names of historical figures. The book has three parts in total, the Emperor's Chapter, the Queen's Chapter, and the Celebrities' Chapter. Three pages detail the stories behind the names of these characters. The writing style is humorous, starting with the relatively bizarre names given by ancient emperors, and introducing the characters' lives and historical relationships.

Use a unique perspective to explore those legendary figures who have been misunderstood and forgotten in the long history. From Bao Zheng, who solved the case with integrity, to Jiang Ziya, who was both civil and military, from Hua Mulan, who joined the army on behalf of his father, to Xuanzang, who studied in the West, the book not only restores their true appearance, but also reveals the historical misunderstandings behind "Chen Shimei, the heartless man". The book also digs deep into the neglected inventors around Wu Zetian, as well as the poignant stories behind the four beauties who fell into love with each other. Through delicate writing, the author shows the little-known side of these historical figures, allowing readers to appreciate the depth of history and the charm of the characters in easy reading. This is not only a biography of a historical figure, but also a brave exploration of historical truth, taking you to appreciate a different historical landscape.
