Passing as a Native of Jiangdong

Unlike other stories about people using someone else's surname, the protagonist's true identity is known to the Xu family, who have even signed a contract with them. In a sense, this is always a potential problem. The Xu family is both the maternal uncle's and wife's family; after the protagonist ascends the throne, their influence as maternal relatives will be immense. Aren't they afraid that the Xu family will eventually usurp the throne? 🤔

The issue of imposters seems somewhat unnecessary, so let's leave that aside. The biggest problem is the extremely stereotypical characterization. After reading it, I couldn't remember the distinctive features of many supporting characters, even though it's clear the author did extensive research. The supporting characters felt less vivid than those in *A New Account of Tales of the World*.

The text describes the high-ranking family of the Han dynasty, specifically Shen Zhezi, the son of Shen Chong, while the text mentions the Zhou family.

I have some suspicion that the author might be Yuan Si, who previously wrote "Northern Dynasties and Han Moon," and has changed his name. The protagonist of both books is named Zhou Hui, and both belong to the Yixing Zhou clan, and their writing styles are also very similar.

Is this a female-oriented novel? In the Eastern Jin Dynasty, powerful families never distinguished between (legitimate sons) and (illegitimate sons); whoever had the ability rose through the ranks.

After reading it, I felt that it was clearly limited. The author was still confined by the rigid imprint of thought: the characters were still historical figures, unchanging figures. Loyalty was loyalty, and treachery was treachery. There was no development or change, no deduction of success or failure. This is a lazy idea.

60,000 Words is a bit early, but breaking through the new book charts is really difficult! 😭

I've watched Tosa no Yume (The Dream of Tosa) several times; the ending is truly amazing. It turns out that time travel is like a dream. I'll always remember that last line: "I believe you, of course I believe you," she murmured. "Your Highness Xia is the most powerful person in the world!"

The difficulty of unifying Jiangdong is such that it's better to learn from the Qing Dynasty and massacre the remaining forces first; only then will they behave themselves.

The author's book seems suitable for people with some knowledge and interest in history, but not an extensive understanding. It's also suitable for those who know how the story will unfold but want to see how it's described and expressed. Judging from the writing style, the author's writing ability and narrative skills support his ability to tell this story well.
