Liu Xie: I Really Just Want to Abdicate!

Objectively speaking, Cao Cao's ambition for the throne wasn't his primary goal in life; rather, it was a condition for realizing his life's ideals. If he merely wanted to become emperor, he would have followed his spendthrift son's example and cultivated relationships with powerful clans, establishing the Nine-Rank System. With that approach, given Cao Cao's abilities and prestige, Liu Bei and Sun Quan would have had no chance.

I've found these last few chapters quite dull. At first, I didn't notice anything, but then it started to dawn on me: there's too much background information. While the purpose is to help readers understand the historical context and relationships, making the story clearer, inserting long passages of background description into fast-paced events disrupts the narrative rhythm and makes it feel…

Seeing the synopsis claiming to be Emperor Xian of Han, I lost all desire to click and read it.

It looks pretty silly, but it's quite funny.

A common problem with historical novels is that, regardless of the dynasty, the later episodes always revolve around building cannons, firearms, trains, and steam engines. Is technology really that easy to develop, that you can just do whatever you want with it?

This novel is all nonsense. The author really doesn't know the majesty of the monarch in the feudal dynasty. Even if this emperor was controlled by Cao Cao, it's still not up to Dong Cheng's daughter to be arrogant and say that it's fine not to be a noble. That's utter nonsense. Do you think women in the feudal dynasty, whether they were imperial relatives or commoners, had a high status?

Anyone who has studied history and truly loves the people knows that it's better to be a dog in times of peace than a human in times of chaos. The protagonist claims to want to do something for the people while pretending to abdicate every day. Initially, this was understandable because he knew he lacked the ability to unify the country and end the chaos.

Damn it, what was supposed to be a good book ended up disgusting me. China unified the world, but then species invaded, and the descendants of Yan and Huang were wiped out by hybrids.

Chapter One: Holding the Emperor Hostage to Command the Lords This shows that Liu Xie had no status with Cao Cao. So why would Cao Cao kneel on the ground and bleed?

Um... How should I put it? Actually, it doesn't feel right to make Emperor Xian of Han the main character. After all, anyone with a little historical knowledge knows that the Eastern Han Dynasty was already doomed by then. Liu Xie's life had been completely predetermined, with no chance of turning things around (for details, please consult Baidu). I'm not saying authors absolutely have to be historically accurate, I just want to remind you not to prioritize pure enjoyment over accuracy.
