Dai Tianxing

I originally thought that Dai Tianxing was an ordinary ancient novel, but the more I read it, the more I felt something was wrong... The world view is quite advanced, and it is more interesting than I thought The heroine Yan An is really interesting. She was very quiet in the front, but that quietness was not weakness, it was the feeling of "I'll quietly grow a thorn first". Every little resistance she makes is inexplicably exciting I also have to say that the setting is quite fresh Si Si, Zhu You, Que Xia Lie... This is the first time I have seen these in a novel. It can be seen that the author is not just messing around with words, but is seriously building a world Sometimes I even think: How many things does this author have in his head? ? ? This book is not the kind of book that hits one punch at a time, but it is the kind of book that the more you read, the more you can't stop, and the more you read, the more interesting it becomes I feel like I really have the opportunity to write a serious novel about a heroine in the future Seriously, I hope the author never stops I have already begun to wait for when she can fight her way back to the position of empress Okay, just say a few words, I will continue to pursue it.

😎😎 It can be seen that the author has a very deep foundation and is knowledgeable about traditional culture. However, there are quite a lot of classical Chinese in the writing, which I feel is both an advantage and a disadvantage. The disadvantage is that it may directly dissuade some readers. I really like the theme of the heroine. From the first chapter to the current chapter 32, I personally think that Chapter 21 "The No Attendant in the Kongyuan" is a watershed. Before this, the plot was relatively gentle, and there are classical Chinese texts. I guess some readers will stop before Chapter 21. But from Chapter 21, it gets better and better, the story gradually enters the main line, and the characters begin to become three-dimensional (I won't spoil it here). What impressed me most was the black and white story, which was romantic and a little sad. And I think this guy has always been very deep and fits the image of a peerless master. I didn't expect... But after watching the black and white character creation, it is indeed quite deep. I read Chapter 32, and the exciting drama of Que Xia Lie is about to begin. When I look back at the content of the first 20 chapters, I suddenly feel enlightened. These seemingly plain narratives have always had a subtle influence on me while reading, allowing me to naturally keep up with the rhythm after entering the main plot. How to describe it? Just like in a bowl of instant noodles, in addition to the flavoring to stimulate the taste buds and the chewy noodles, water is also indispensable. And these first 20 chapters are the water in the instant noodles. Although it is tasteless, it is the key fusion agent and cannot be separated from it. In general, when I first read the first few chapters of this novel, I thought it was an incomprehensible classical Chinese work and a bit boring. Now that I read it, I increasingly think that it is a groundbreaking masterpiece. So far, the entire structure, narrative logic, characters and plot are very good. I look forward to the author's continued updates!

Before I started writing "Dai Tian Xing", I was always worried. This style of writing - leaning towards the texture of serious literature, the slow advancement of traditional narrative, the deep integration of the macroscopic world structure and pure Eastern metaphysics - does not seem to belong to the current era that emphasizes speed and refreshing feeling. I write it not for the sake of fashion or profit; I just hope that what I have learned over the years can be entrusted and continued. The heroine in the book makes progress step by step, relying solely on herself. I adopt the perspective of the protagonist and the perspective of history books in parallel: the main text is laid out in vernacular, and the appendix is ​​written in semi-literary. The two different observation dimensions constitute the dual-track structure of this work. I was worried that such an approach would appear "highbrow", and perhaps most readers would not have the patience to read through the foreshadowing. I also understand that writing long novels is a long-term self-torture for me. Because I have severe obsessive-compulsive disorder - in the same chapter, I try not to let a word appear twice; words such as "as if" and "slowly" will only be used once in each chapter; I will also try my best to avoid repetition of the names of people, countries, and places. I would proofread wording, rhythm, and punctuation over and over again, endlessly picking out details. I also thought about not doing this, but I still couldn't do it. Although it is fictional history, I still want to restore the essence of traditional Chinese culture as much as possible, and combine it with my own knowledge to create some innovative content. To do this, I need to consult a large number of books and materials, from systems to etiquette, from utensils to terminology, and check them one by one. This is an extremely tedious process. However, when I finished writing the nearly 20,000-word outline, I asked myself: "If I was the only reader in the end, would I still write?" My answer is yes. So on August 28, 2025, I started writing the main text. When I was inoculating myself, I comforted myself in this way: it depends on fate, but these two words, the rest will be left to fate. Anyway, everyone will die eventually, and I am no exception; everything after death has nothing to do with me. As for the immediate prosperity, fame and fortune, they are all gone at the snap of a finger. As long as I am worthy of the present moment, it is enough, nothing else matters. I don't refuse to write cool or sweet love stories. I also yearn for such a relaxed rhythm, after all, it can make me feel relieved and relaxed. But at that time, I wanted to challenge a high level of difficulty—even a level of difficulty beyond my current ability. Because this kind of growth-oriented writing makes me feel more valuable. In the future, maybe I will try more popular themes; but for this first book - my debut - I hope it will be a work that I can look back on with a clear conscience. So, I kept my expectations to a minimum. Those stories and characters have always been running and deducing in the depths of my mind, as if they were in another realm that really exists. There were many moments during which I thought about giving up. Until a certain moment I realized: Keep writing, they will eventually meet their end; Stop, but they will not even have a chance to live. They hold my emotions and my state of mind. I want to move forward with them. That world, to me, is real and vivid. Now, I take them into your world. ——Recorded in the early morning of November 16, 2025

Hello everyone, this is Light Eleven. I would like to say a few words to the readers who are reading "Dai Tian Xing" recently. Many friends said to me: "The writing style of the text is so classic and serious. Can you write it more relaxedly?" ... Of course I can (🥲). Let me tell you the truth first: I don't just write serious literature! I can also write in a very playful and down-to-earth way, and occasionally use random metaphors (the chapter behind the scenes of Qiyaobu proves how much I can use random metaphors). It's just—— The main text of "Dai Tian Xing", to me, is a retro, inspirational, and unified growth epic. This writing style must be consistent from beginning to end, otherwise the "aura" of the story will be broken. But I also understand how you feel. I know that not everyone can tolerate the "pinch attack" of classical writing style. Long-term serious text can make people feel tired, tense, and even want to run away (I also want to steal some time to breathe while writing 😂). So I made a compromise: 🌟 The text remains literary and orthodox, unwavering. 🌟 But supplementary chapters, extra chapters, behind-the-scenes chapters - I can write them in vernacular! Why? Because these parts are mainly: "Setting science" "The author's casual decryption" "Post-it notes to add background" "Live broadcast playback of me dancing wildly in the living room" If written in an orthodox writing style, these contents would be too hard. So I decided to write openly, freely and easily in the extra chapter. It will not destroy the temperament of the main text, but also allow everyone to quickly understand the martial arts, skills, and strange little tricks I have buried in the worldview. It can be regarded as a way to "reduce the difficulty of reading from the side". Anyway! I will try my best to let everyone enjoy the immersion of the orthodox writing style when watching "Dai Tian Xing" without being overwhelmed, and occasionally make me laugh. I hope you like my random dance, random thoughts and popular science articles. I will continue to work hard to write this world well. ——🌅 Light Eleven

It's easy to be thankless when it comes to ancient prose. It seems that the author still has a few brushes.

The most unpopular ancient word card, I have been writing it for 13 years. As for "Dai Tian Xing", I also want to see how far I can go in the future. Although there are thousands of people, I will go.

It's a masterpiece of ancient Chinese. The author's writing style is very delicate, and the characters are vivid and three-dimensional. The portrayal of the empress Yan'an is especially brilliant. It's well received.

🤭🤭🤭

This is not hunting, it is fate. This place is not a trial, but a calamity. The destiny is above, and the mountains and rivers are on the side. When the ten sons enter the game, the world will change. When young men go to the hunting ground, they all exchange their lives for the country. ----------------- Quexia Hunter is about to appear. Before it officially begins, I would like to say a few words from my heart to you. Que Xia Xing is the first real "big main line" in "Dai Tian Xing". It is not a simple "arena", nor is it cruel for the sake of being cruel. What it represents is - the bones, blood, fate and final stubbornness of more than ten countries that were forced to hand over under the destiny of the Yan Dynasty. I conceived this line for a long time and wrote it very slowly. Because what it carries is never a "competition", but the life destiny of every country and every boy at this moment. ----------------- 1. Why write "quexiahunting"? The prototype of it did refer to several narrative structures - such as the American drama "The Hunger Games" and the Korean drama "Squidward Game". But Que Xia Lie is not an imitation. It belongs to the Yan Dynasty system and is a bloody system tailor-made for the political structure of this continent. Whenever the Quexia Hunting is opened, the surrendering country must present an emperor's heir, as well as one hundred boys and one hundred virgins. This is an acknowledgment of destiny, a submission to the authority of the Yan Dynasty, and an unspeakable pain in the depths of an era. Quexia Hunting will be completed for 21 days, and you will see "levels" of various sizes. But to me, they are not called levels. They are the real gates of life and death in the destiny of every emperor. ----------------- 2. Why is it "showing courage, testing wisdom, and observing the heart"? The Quexia Hunting is divided into three stages, each of the three major levels lasts seven days, totaling twenty-one days. Xiangyong——Do you dare to take a step forward? This step cannot be retreated or stopped. Test your wits - You have the courage, but is your mind strong enough to last you until the next choice? Observe the mind - when all means, physical strength, and external forces are exhausted, what is left in your heart? The last bit left behind by a person is the true shape of life. I have pondered over and over again for a long time this part of "Observing the Mind". Because it is not about "how the outside world forces people", but "how people force themselves when there is no way to escape". ----------------- 3. They are not individuals, they are the shadow of the country I write these imperial heirs not to make the number of people "lively" enough, nor to fill the stage. In my heart - every emperor is a microcosm of a country. I often ask myself before writing about them: "If a country turns into a child, what will it look like?" So, they have their own atmosphere - Lingchuan's restraint; r>Mingze's composure; Xuanqiu's caution; Xilong's solidity; Shang Yao's lightness; Langxu's fragility... The following are the essence that you can "smell" in the text - Yan An (Lingchuan) What she carries is a legacy and silence, and it is a fate that has to be shouldered. Her quietness is not that she doesn't fight, but that she has been forced to keep everything in her heart since she was a child. Dongfang Domain (Yan Dynasty) He looks gentle, but in fact he is very stubborn at heart. For people who grew up restricted by the court, the more they are forced to restrain themselves, the deeper their obsession becomes. Al Yi (Cangyuan) The wind of the grassland is in his bones. He is both a lonely and courageous person, and also has the naive and straightforward attitude of a young man; once he identifies himself, he dares to rush forward with his life. Xie Wujiu (Ce Yuan) He became wise too early and was pushed into the situation too early. My heart was torn in two: half for the person, and half for the game. From now on, it will be difficult to just be a young man. Lin Yuheng (Jin Xiu) Profit is his shield, sophistication is his blade. He sees things in the world most clearly, but he always looks like nothing is happening and takes care of himself very well. Jiang Linchuan (Mingze) He is like the tide, able to endure, hide, and wait. He can still stand when others can't hold on - those patience are not born, they are forced out by life. Gu Xunyi (Xuanqiu) His "voluntariness" is a path of "die in observance of etiquette". Ancient, temperate, with the stubbornness to exhaust itself. Pang Zhong (Xilong) He never cried out for pain or suffering; all the unwillingness and grievances were suppressed in his heart, and only he knew the weight. Yin Xuan (Shang Yao) He is smart, he is slippery, and he can live. Looking at the direction of the wind and understanding the situation are his instincts from elementary school. It's not about intelligence, it's about survival. Jian Congzhi (Langxu) He is weak and ignorant, but because of this he is the easiest to be "let go". Not the strongest, but often lucky enough to stay. …… They are not "NPCs". Their life and death, choices, hesitation and stubbornness will make the word "country" breathing, warm, and more like real people. ----------------- 4. Their lives were taken by themselves When writing these chapters surrounding "Quexia Hunter", I was often overwhelmed by their lives. Some people step into the hunting grounds with solitude, some with obsession, and some with the awareness of sacrifice; some have nothing but are pushed onto a road from which they can never come back. I dare not make too many choices for them. The direction each of them takes must grow out of their own character. I pushed some levels a dozen times in the draft, trying and saying no again and again, until I found the path that "looks like they will take it on their own." This is the most insistent point when I write: the characters do not follow my arrangements, but let me follow how they live. ----------------- 5. Don't rush to climb this mountain I keep reminding myself: you can't write fast. Because Quexiahunting is not for "stimulation", but for "opening up the world". Que Xia Hunting is where the story goes deep. From here, life will tighten, people will grow, and light and darkness will become purer. I want you to truly feel when you follow Yan An into the hunting ground—— ——The whole world seems to be shaken quietly, and the sound waves from the depths are rising little by little; ——The young people collide head-on with destiny for the first time, and every step is the boundary between life and death; ——And the fate of the eldest heroine is also pushed into the real destiny at this moment. Many years later, when she stood on a higher mountaintop and looked back, she would understand: destiny is just the beginning, and the one who takes the step is always herself. I hope you can also understand: destiny is given by God, and you have to follow your own path. Quexia Lie is the first "big mountain" in "Dai Tian Xing". If you are willing, come on board with me. ----------------- Notes｜About the pictures The pictures in this article are originally drawn by the author and are only for the appreciation of readers of "Dai Tian Xing".

It's the end of the year and everything is complicated. There are still some conceptual aspects that need to be sorted out. But don't worry, we will continue to update.

Daitian, a very domineering name. Expect!

It is full of ancient style, which shows that the author has a profound knowledge of ancient prose, and the plot and writing are good, making it very comfortable to watch.

Yan An is so charming and perseverant. Seeing her doing things despite all the pressure, I really hate those troublemakers.

The writing is really good, and the feeling after reading it is very smooth. The plot is step by step. I enjoyed reading it in one sitting. Unfortunately, it was not enough.

After reading a few chapters, I was attracted to it. I really like the author's writing style and the plot looks pretty good. I support it.

She used her body as a woman to bring peace to the world and write a glorious chapter in a prosperous age. Her tenacity and bravery are truly admirable!

The introduction attracted me. The First Empress looks forward to creating a world where men and women are truly equal. They don't do anything, just whether they like it or not, and whether they are capable enough, rather than doing this or that because of their gender.

It's really attractive. The plot is so attractive. The empress is so domineering. I look forward to the follow-up.

The writing is good, and the heroine, who is rare, is written very grandly. The author has updated a lot.

Made two new writings.

Haha, you must come and support👏🏻👍🏻
