Synopsis

A man in the Eastern Jin dynasty, forced into seclusion. In the seventh year of the Yonghe era, war raged across the north. Ran Min destroyed Later Zhao. After Fu Jian's Later Zhao had fallen, he seized Guanzhong and Chang'an, proclaimed himself Heavenly King and Great Chanyu, established the Huangshi era, built ancestral temples, appointed officials, and made Chang'an his capital, naming his state Qin. Around the Huai and Yangtze rivers, the situation was like oil boiling over a fierce fire. In the south, songs and dancing filled the land. At court, the great clans were locked in endless political struggles; far from the halls of power, scholar-officials roamed the mountains and rivers, indulging in wine and refined conversation. That year, the celebrated Wang Xizhi took up his brush, and the First Moon Note appeared before the world for the first time. That year, sixteen-year-old Xie Daoyun gazed at the snow falling across the sky, was moved by the scene, and left behind an immortal line: “It is not like willow catkins borne on the wind.” That year, Wang Ningzhi was seventeen. This novel is entirely fictional. Please do not compare it with actual history.

A Roundup of Historical and Military Fiction

I'm a history buff, so I made this list to share with you all. Most of the books here are historical or military fiction, with a few light reads thrown in now and then. Hope you don't mind. (Recently I noticed that a lot of books on my list have been taken down. Ahem, there's absolutely nothing wrong with my list... um, maybe just a tiny bit.)

Isn't this Xu Youfu too lively as a servant? Already a bit like a bad friend. The protagonist does not need to treat him as a servant, but he must know his position, right? Why does he feel like he has traveled through time and is working as a top servant here?

To be honest, seclusion and so on are mostly fake. Basically, the vast majority of people who live in seclusion still care about the court. I think the author's writing style is quite good, but if the protagonist can completely live in seclusion during the absurd period of the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties, I would still look down on this character.

There's nothing wrong with the author's pacing and plot, it's pretty good. But this servant went a bit too far. As soon as I saw this servant, I wanted to skip it directly. The servant's writing was like a bad friend who was similar to my own family. It was a bit too much and not likeable.

I just read the book. The author's writing is good and the plot makes me scratch my head. The protagonist went to Heifeng Village several times for Xu Wan, and even almost lost his life, but his relationship with Xu Wan was not that good. In Chapter 34, he burned himself in a room full of wine. Xie Daoyun was burned when he jumped from the roof to save others. Wang Lan was able to save the two of them. This is the extent of modern medicine. With only thirty-four chapters written like this, I felt like the book was finished. The sudden jump from a masterpiece of history to a "masterpiece" of martial arts made me feel like I was a different writer.

A person sits alone in the middle of the lake and pauses. Two ounces of tea expresses deep thoughts. Three cups are not as painful as lovesickness, Four steps back, I look back and smile foolishly. —— —— —— —— When we first met each other, we felt disgusted with each other. The passage of time took root unconsciously. Clear water and hibiscus bloom together, I will grow old together with you.

I have refreshed it several times, thank you Daoyun! How stunning would a woman with a relaxed expression and the air of a forest look like?

I think it is better to keep a distance between Wang Ningzhi and Xu Wan, because Wang Ningzhi's status is too noble, which is not suitable for a brothel girl, and it is not good for his reputation. The hierarchy system in the Eastern Jin Dynasty was very serious at that time.
