Mainly Recommending Late Ming Novels!
No marriage alliances, no reparations, no ceded territory, no tribute. The emperor guards the frontier; the ruler dies defending the state. After the Yuan dynasty fell, the Ming was established by the Han people on Chinese soil. Its founding improved the status of the Han, restoring the majority population to a commoner's standing and creating favorable conditions for China's future development. Though the Ming realm was smaller than the Yuan's, at its height it held the Mongols in check to the

Among Three Thousand Streams, I Choose Just One
I've been reading novels for years and have come across plenty of great ones, but a good book isn't necessarily one that suits my taste. There are so many good books, but not many that I truly enjoy. I've carefully chosen these novels based on the genres I like, and reading them is a real pleasure. That's what the joy of reading is all about. It's like sipping a carefully brewed cup of tea on a leisurely afternoon. I'll add novels I enjoy to this list from time to time.

Historical Fiction About Farming and Fighting for Supremacy in the Late Ming
Wei Zhongxian, Yuan Chonghuan, Mao Wenlong... These controversial figures leave us wondering: Who was loyal, who was a traitor, and who was a national hero? This debate has lasted for centuries. Come explore it for yourself.
Old Bai’s Favorites
Books loved by a reader who's been at it for decades. At least 500,000 characters, and they have to be satisfying. I generally leave out chuuni stories, anime-inspired novels, infinite-flow stories, and reborn-as-a-child stories because they're not my thing. Feel free to leave recommendations, but ideally they should be around 500,000 characters. I usually don't recommend books that are only tens of thousands or a hundred thousand characters long.

It's really hard to be a good son-in-law.
Judging from the author's intention, the protagonist not only has to turn the tide at the end of the Ming Dynasty, but also carry out a series of reforms. While fighting against the Jurchens and bandits, he also has to make comprehensive changes to land, finance, officials, nobles, and so on.
The protagonist seems too idealistic; the society he envisions is impossible even today, let alone in ancient times with such low productivity.
The protagonist has no foothold, no connections, and no money in the south. He only has a few thousand elite troops, and who knows how many more will die on the escape route. The situation in the Southern Ming is also uncertain. If the Manchus don't invade, they might not even have much time to catch their breath. (Right now, the only loyal and capable official left in the Ming Dynasty is Shi Kefa.) 😵
Couldn't it have been written as a story of mutual trust between the emperor and his ministers? Why did they have to rebel? Couldn't they have united against a common enemy? The relationship between Chongzhen and Chen Yue should be like the title of the book: the emperor is a good father-in-law, and the minister is a good son-in-law! A happy ending would be best!
I can't even be bothered to read this kind of sycophantic novel, even if it's free. They go back to ancient times and instead of rebelling, they just fawn over the ancient natives.
Putting aside the question of whether the eldest princess is dead or not, she was only eleven years old when Emperor Chongzhen hanged himself. It's chilling to think about! And she was a graduate of police academy! 🤫🤫
I heard the author became an empress, so I came to check it out.

This book should be called "The Best Simp in the Late Ming Dynasty: He'd Kill His Parents and Friends Just to Get His Goddess."
I got really angry when I read the later parts. I really couldn't stand the protagonist's constant forbearance. And the protagonist fell in love with the princess after only meeting her a few times. I don't mean anything by saying this; people read books for enjoyment, but I just feel the protagonist is really timid and hesitant, only knowing how to constantly yield, which is genuinely frustrating to read.
I really don't want to say anything. Marrying a princess to you and leading the emperor to fight your way out and save the Ming Dynasty? In ancient times, how many capable generals or ministers weren't executed? Besides, after saving the Ming Dynasty, aren't you afraid the emperor will break off the engagement and kill you?
