3 君 The Lord Has Returned 君归矣 Idly Listening to Falling Flowers闲听落花Ancient Romance600k WordsOngoing This book began in May 2017 and was rewritten in April 2025. A note: This book has no romance pairing, no female emperor, a huge cast, and many long-running clues and plot threads. It's an unconventional, eclectic fantasy with a high barrier to entry...and all kinds of potentially frustrating elements rolled into one book. Also, the book is set against the backdrop of the Two Jin and Northern and Southern Dynasties. The events and characters are all drawn from old records that Xiao Xian dug up. 25Votes705.6kRecs89.7kFans

Curator note

This book was started in May 2017 and rewritten in April 2025. A note: This book has no romantic pairing, no female empress, a large number of characters, many foreshadowing elements and long plot lines, a mix of unconventional fantasy, and has a high reading threshold... It contains all sorts of flaws in one book. Secondly, this book is based on the Jin and Southern and Northern Dynasties. The original texts of the events and figures were all dug up by Xiaoxian from old books. They are tragic and absurd. Those with poor tolerance should avoid reading this book. Finally, there are no clearly defined good guys or bad guys; everything is gray, including the female lead. The values of the characters in the book are their own, not the author's, otherwise the author would be incoherent. P. S.: This book is already finalized. All suggestions for this book will be ignored by the author, Xian, and will be reserved for the next book. Finally, I love you all.
