The Gaze of an Eagle, the Cunning of a Wolf

The current political landscape is quite clear. Shangguan Hongyuan, holding the emperor hostage, commands the other lords, occupying Guanzhong, Yongliang, and Bashu, forming the powerful Qin state. Ye Mingsheng, controlling Liaoyang, Youyan, and Jiyu, is eyeing the Central Plains. Cao Changping, trapped in a precarious situation, is no longer a threat.

This is undeniably a rare gem of a story. The writing is excellent. I've already read nearly four or five hundred chapters. The rich details and realistic, brutal struggle environment in the beginning are very captivating. Since the author requested more feedback and suggestions, I'll offer a brief summary. 1. Success and failure both stem from realism.

I'm a long-time fan of this book. Watching Ye Mingsheng rise from a humble young man to the imposing and authoritative Marshal Ye, and finally to the powerful Emperor Taizu, who seemed to have the world at his feet, has been a remarkable journey. Regardless of whether the ending is tragic, absurd, desolate, or heartbreaking, I feel it cannot overshadow the captivating story of Ye Mingsheng.

Bae Suzy!

I first read this book in 2021 and followed it all the way to 2024. I went from first subscription to full subscription, and it climbed to the top of the reader rankings. I followed it from high school to university, and my love for it remains.

I was going to read it, but after seeing the comments saying it was a harem novel, I immediately stopped reading. I hate trashy harem novels the most.

Personally, I don't think it's a good idea. The protagonist offends his boss, and the boss actually sends someone to assassinate him. Shouldn't the boss use his authority to kill the protagonist?

The comments section is getting increasingly outrageous. People are rushing to find the female lead even when reading an alternate history story. Have they been watching too much anime? First, it can't contain anything sexually explicit, and second, the female lead's strengths and weaknesses can't be well-developed. What's the point of this?

It's well-written, there's nothing to criticize, which is probably why the comment section is so stagnant 😎. They've completely messed up the comment section.

Aristocratic families and powerful clans possess land and population; regional military governors and warlords possess territory and population 🤓. During the period when powerful clans existed, their main function was to monopolize the path to officialdom. The upper ranks were devoid of commoners, and the lower ranks were devoid of gentry, representing a form of social solidification.
