The Lord Has Returned 君归矣
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.
