Dreaming Back to the Ends of the Earth: A Historical Fiction Recommendation Hub
🌟 This list is really more of a bookmark folder. Every book here is one I plan to read, am currently reading, or have already finished. I wouldn't include any books I don't want to read myself. There are also some books I haven't recommended individually, only mentioned in the descriptions of other books. That doesn't mean they're bad. I just don't think they need a separate recommendation. They're either too well known, similar in style to the books I recommend, or written by the same author. S

Debunking the rumor that Wu Zetian lost half of the country and Li Longji recovered it. Let's follow Li Chui's account for now: Wu Zetian lost half of the country in the later years of her reign. The Tanglong Coup led to Li Longji's ascension to the throne in 712 AD. He changed the era name to Xiantian and then undertook a series of political maneuvers to stabilize his position.
I stumbled upon this book while browsing pirated copies out of boredom. Once I started reading, I couldn't stop, so I gave it a thumbs up, subscribed, and voted for it. It's rare to find such a good historical novel. These days, most stories are just about supporting the emperor in romantic escapades or using system-based plots. I miss the old-school, passionate stories, and this one is back!
See the two pictures for yourself.
Those who praise Wu Zetian are only praising her gender; those who praise China's only female emperor are only praising her title. As for ability, cruel officials governed the country domestically, while male favorites led troops abroad. Is this the kind of governing ability one needs to boast about?

Well written! Your writing style doesn't seem like that of a new author 😰😰. It's just that the updates are too slow and infrequent. Keep it up and update more! 👍
This book gets better and better as you read on; it would be perfect if the author updated it more often!
Wu Zetian lost 3 million square kilometers! Look at the female rulers of all dynasties and then look at her. She is the worst female ruler in China, just like Empress Dowager Cixi! Go and see for yourself how many powerful female figures (Fu Hao, Mi Yue, Lü Zhi, Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang, Empress Dowager Xiao) expanded the territory. Does Wu Zetian, who lost 3 million square kilometers, deserve to be ranked first?
Shennong's Poison Testing advantage First, regarding the romance aspect that everyone's most concerned about: no simply lovey-dovey relationships, no cuckolding, and no excessive harem building; the pacing is just right, and it's not overly sentimental. About one-tenth of the story is romance, and the level of intimacy is just right.
Please leave your suggestions and opinions in the comments section below.
Frankly speaking, even if Wu Zetian had won, Li Longji (the Li family's founder) and his descendants would have rewritten history to erase any of Wu Zetian's achievements. In ancient China, women who achieved high positions were rarely respected, especially those who usurped the Tang throne.
