[I always thought that I was sophisticated, but when a man gets so close to me, I still blush and feel uneasy. The car turned left at the intersection, and the neon streetlight beam slanted through the see-through glass window, dazzling his vision. He moved his body and rested his head more comfortably. Lin Yuluo went through what he said in her mind. Her eyes glanced at the driver holding the steering wheel in the front seat, wondering whether the decibel of the sound just now would be transmitted. After all, the space in the car was small. In the dark car, she could clearly feel her face burning red and her heart beating rapidly. Gu Yicheng seemed to feel her tangled tension. `The voice was calm and low, and he seemed not to be drunk at all.

She stood on the steps and smiled at the man walking towards her from a distance. He was wearing a well-fitting white shirt, with a few buttons around his neck unbuttoned and open, exposing his Adam's apple. The cuffs are rolled up in a few piles and pushed to the crook of the arm, looking a bit casual. One hand is inserted into the trouser pocket, and the slender fingertips of the other hand are holding the cigarette. From time to time, he raises his wrist, puts it into his mouth, takes a few deep breaths, slightly raises his chin, and exhales the smoke. His movements are a bit frivolous and full of ultimate charm. In a daze, she seemed to see the naughty boy again, raising his chin slightly, squinting at her, cool and pulling, stopped her, and stuffed a copy of "Youth Manual", her favorite magazine, into her arms. Time flies, and time flies by. The little bully back then has grown into a tall, long-legged man with stunning scenery.

When we open the long scroll of Chinese history, the Western Han Dynasty is undoubtedly one of the most dazzling chapters. It inherited the system of Qin and inspired the soul of Han. With more than two hundred years of national destiny, it established the basic pattern of Chinese civilization and shaped the cultural symbols of "Han people", "Han nationality" and "Chinese language" that are still in use today. From Liu Bang, who conquered the world with a three-foot sword, to Liu Che, who was a man of great talent and strategy, and expanded his territory, to Liu Xun, who worked hard to achieve the "Zhao Xuan Zhongxing", the successive emperors of the Western Han Dynasty (including the key rulers such as the young emperor and the deposed emperor) each wrote the rise, prosperity, turning point and end of a dynasty with their different personalities, wisdom and choices. This book is not a simple collection of imperial chronicles, but an attempt to restore the true face of each Western Han emperor with "people" as the core: their growth and difficulties, their ambitions and helplessness, how their decisions affected the direction of the country, and how their merits and demerits were commented on by later generations. We will follow Liu Bang and witness the difficulties of a dynasty emerging from war; follow Emperors Wen and Jing to experience the forbearance of recuperating and accumulating national strength; follow Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty to appreciate the heroic spirit of expanding territory and respecting Confucianism; we will also follow the emperors after Zhaoxuan to witness the inevitable and sighing of the dynasty's transition from prosperity to decline. In the narration, we not only focus on official history, elaborating on key details in "Historical Records" and "Han Shu", but also take into account the historical context to explain the impact of institutions, culture, and social background on the emperor's decision-making; we neither deify the heroes nor criticize the ancients, and strive to objectively present the role and value of each emperor on the historical stage.
