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.

A Veteran Reader's Personal Reading List
I’d like to share some books I’ve read and am currently reading. These aren’t beginner-level stories; they have smart characters. I’ve been reading web novels for many years, from pirated copies to official editions, so I suppose you could call me a veteran reader. The first web novel I read was "Immortal Cauldron". I happened upon it while browsing a rental bookstore. As I slowly read the story, the protagonist Zhang Meng’s experiences opened a door to another world for me, a world full of fant

Books That Look Fun
Fresh new books and previously completed novels: I add anything that catches my eye, without sorting them into categories. If a book's quality takes an unexpected turn later, I will update the list in real time. To clarify, not every book added here is good. Some fall far short of expectations but are distinctive in their own way, so I toss them in for commentary.

I checked the comments section When Yang Guang launched the imperial examination system, in which dimension did this event occur? The imperial examination system of the Sui Dynasty was established by Emperor Wen of Sui, and only officials of the fifth rank and above could participate. The Jinshi (进士) examination was also established by Emperor Wen and continued until the Qing Dynasty.
Why are so many people criticizing the author without understanding anything? Although I haven't finished reading it, is it even appropriate to criticize the name of a state? Please read more books! The protagonist originates from the Jin region, so it's reasonable to use "Zi Jin" as the state name.
[Comment] Online articles and reality are two different things.
Just like in online articles, everyone hopes to replace Li Er, but in reality and in public discourse, I still believe that Li Er was a great monarch in ancient times, a great emperor of all time. Moreover, for me, Li Er is not a derogatory term, but rather a nickname. As for Yang Guang, well, history may have underestimated him. For me, I do not sympathize with him, but rather pity him.
Don't worry, everyone. The author's surgery failed, his condition worsened, and he passed away peacefully. He even playfully caused a minor explosion, but I've already cremated him. It was a sea burial, so there's no burial plot. Therefore, I'm posting this as a memorial for everyone to offer incense, dance, and spit.
[Comment] Li Po's character portrayal is fantastic!
It's been many years since I watched "The Blood of Jiang" (将血), but now watching "Northern Hero" (北雄) is something I do every day. The protagonist makes me feel "It's worth living in this world!" And "It's so exhilarating!" Enough said, all my daily recommendation votes are from Xiaocao!
Actually, writing a time-travel story set in the late Sui Dynasty is really difficult because the Tang Dynasty was so glorious. If the time traveler's life is similar to that of the Tang Dynasty, there's no anticipation, and what's the point of reading the novel? Just imagine it as Li Shimin (Emperor Taizong of Tang).
No matter how powerful or capable the protagonist's army is, other forces believe it's all a rumor. Even after a few years, they still think it's a rumor, and the whole world thinks the protagonist is a weakling. The protagonist single-handedly defeated the invading Turkic army, which other factions dismissed as a rumor.
Choosing Tang as the name of the dynasty is utterly absurd. The author is just too pretentious; it's speechless.
Qin officials, Han palace gates, the overthrow of Han, the northern hegemon, the continuation of Song... Anything else?
Good books
Stop criticizing it. This is a top-tier historical novel that combines popular science with sentiment. The author has clearly studied the history of the Sui and Tang dynasties, and there are no flaws in the writing skills and historical research. I don't understand why people are criticizing it. Keep up the good work, good writing is good writing, and criticism is useless.
