The Great River Flows East
To establish the heart for Heaven and Earth, to secure a future for the people, to carry on the lost teachings of the sages of the past, and to bring peace to all generations. Zhang Zai. Display the heads at the post station on Gaojie Street, among the foreign envoys’ residences, so they may be seen for thousands of miles: those who dare offend the mighty Han will be executed, no matter how far away they are.

I read everything except infinite-flow novels. If I've marked a book as Apprentice, it's readable and good for passing the time. Disciple means it's worth following when you're in a reading slump. Steward means you can safely give it a try as long as you don't mind the genre. Helmsman means I wholeheartedly recommend it. Veteran readers don't deceive other veteran readers! Still, use the recommendation score as your main guide. And please learn from my example and support official releases. A su

I started reading around 2000. The first book I read was Yi Xia, followed by Yi Ti. Qidian did not exist yet back then, and of course, nobody was writing books there either. Taiwanese works dominated the scene at the time. I won't mention the website, or I'll get banned. Though these days, even if I did mention it, I doubt anyone would know it. Everything I chose is something I thought was pretty good, or something I felt had potential. They may not suit everyone's tastes, but feel free to take

A Ten-Year Veteran Reader, Mostly Recommending Historical Fiction ⭐🌙☀
I mainly recommend traditional historical novels. There really aren't many worth reading these days. This list has both new and old books: five stars means a must-read, four stars means don't miss it, and three stars means it depends on your taste. I only recommend books I've read. P.S. I'll take a look at promotional submissions when I have time and recommend the ones I like.

If Only I Could Go Back to the Way Things Were...
If history had changed, would I be a different person today? As a military enthusiast and history buff, I really want to transmigrate. I think about the unknown past and its bloody battles, the suffering of our ancestors and the raids by barbarian tribes, the first stirrings of technology and ideas, and the weight of old customs... If we could go back, perhaps the Chinese people wouldn't have endured so much hardship, and Chinese culture wouldn't have been buried under so much dust. But it's all

A Ten-Year Veteran Reader Recommends: An All-Round Reading List
Most of the books on this list have over a million words and are ripe for binge-reading, with a few newer titles mixed in. Every one is a gem, and the list is updated regularly. I've removed books that were censored or abandoned, as well as some whose later plot became formulaic and drew poor reviews, replacing them with newer titles. Start at the bottom: the farther down a book is, the more there is to read!
A Corner for When You're Out of Books
I'm actually quite picky about books, so even if a famous author's written it, I won't touch it if it's not good... Of course, everyone has their own tastes. I'm just recommending books I've read and thought were decent!

Why keep emphasizing that history is unreliable? Being a good person in your youth doesn't mean you won't turn bad later. This premise doesn't feel right.
At the age of 75, Wu Zetian's fair and delicate face 🙂 was speechless.
I've read many of your books, but the one that impressed me the most was your "Cao Cao" series. It wasn't overly sentimental. Your previous works were really good, but this one really disappointed me. It's not a history book anymore, and it's not even something a seasoned writer should write. It's childish, boring, and disgusting. When did you become so repulsive? This book even feels like a fake.
The author intended to portray the protagonist's wit, but the writing is riddled with stupidity, especially the part where, even after writing more than half the book, the protagonist still doesn't know Princess Anle's true identity—it's incredibly toxic.
Since you're just speculating about many things, just say it's your speculation. Don't come up with some excuse like "history is unreliable." You don't even believe what's clearly recorded, yet you insist on believing what you've made up out of thin air. Isn't that ridiculous?
A reader's honest opinion
I've noticed that most historical novels share a common characteristic: urgency! It's indeed difficult for authors to truly understand the era in peacetime, but historical records and other materials reveal that life was cheap and chaotic. The ancients were intelligent; their cultural development simply reached a certain point, not that they were less intelligent than modern people!
What does the author mean by constantly emphasizing that history is unreliable? And what about those who say Li Shimin rewrote history? The Old Book of Tang was written during the Later Jin Dynasty. While it doesn't explicitly state that Li Shimin forced his father to abdicate, it clearly records that Li Shimin personally led his troops to kill Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji during the Xuanwu Gate…
[Comment] I started writing books in 2005, the same year I became a high-level VIP. Over the past ten years, I've read at least several thousand books, if not ten thousand. I'm definitely one of them...
I started reading books in 2005, the same year I became a high-level VIP. Over the past decade, I've read at least several thousand, if not ten thousand, so I'd definitely call myself a veteran bookworm. The older I get, the more selective I become, and the fewer books truly suit my taste. In fact, I've read very little these past few months.
It gets more and more boring to watch; the content is too verbose and the plot progresses too slowly.
Sometimes, forcibly lowering one's IQ is toxic. If someone says, "Guests come from the sea, not of our kind," how could a time traveler not immediately think of Japan? And this person was even a criminal investigator?
