Emperor Cheng of Han, Liu Ao: "You ask me... Uh, who I am? Well, I am a member of the family of the Marquis of Fuping!" Zhao Feiyan, the most beautiful woman in the Han Palace, said: "I would rather be a concubine of a lord than a princess of an emperor." Zhao Hede, the most beautiful woman of the Han Dynasty: "I would not hesitate to die to get my wish fulfilled, and I envy not the immortals but only the mandarin ducks." Ban Jieyu, the most talented woman of the Western Han Dynasty: "Gazing at the bright moon, I feel my heart; facing the autumn wind, I think of my beloved." Wang Zhaojun, one of the Four Beauties of ancient China: "Zhaojun left the border only for her lover." This was an era of heroes and beauties, an era filled with the soft Wu dialect, the neighing of horses and the howling of the wind, and the strongest voice of the time: those who offend the mighty Han, though far away, shall be punished! The Han Dynasty should not stop at the Western Regions! PS: This time, Zhaojun's departure to the border was not the same as that of the barbarian tribes. She was not forced to serve the barbarian slaves, but rather she was to become the Queen of the Western Regions (covering mouth, it seems like I've given away a spoiler...). VIP Group: 552183925

Curator note

This is a Tang Dynasty that has gone astray, with imperial power waning and the empire nearing its end. This was yet another era in which empires and aristocratic families coexisted. Fifteen years ago, the An Lushan Rebellion was finally quelled, but the Uyghurs coveted the Tang Dynasty's vulnerability, drinking from the Central Plains and causing immense suffering. Under these turbulent circumstances, the Tang Empire was on the verge of collapse. The seven great families joined forces to expel the barbarians and restore the country, but they also gradually amassed their own power and agreed to take turns serving as prime ministers, each ruling the court for five years. The protagonist, Zhang Huan, is the lowest-ranking illegitimate son in the Zhang family of Hedong. However, one day, he suddenly discovers a huge secret hidden in his own background. From then on, Zhang Huan embarks on a difficult and dark path. (The history in this book is entirely fictional.)

Curator note

I was everywhere – from suppressing the feudal lords during the Jingnan Campaign, to moving the capital and revising the classics, to conquering the Mongols and going to Southeast Asia – yet no one knew I was there. Keep a low profile! Keeping a low profile is the key to success. His tortuous lifeline and the continuation of a passive fate led to his rise and counterattack. The seemingly powerless imposter reversed its passive situation and created a new landscape for the entire related environment! The turbulent struggle for the throne, the step-by-step reforms to weaken the power of the princes, the glorious moment of the Yongle Encyclopedia, the manipulation of the world by changing the capital, the pacification of the internal and external affairs, all the events, big and small, cannot erase his shadow or cover up his footprints in all the glory! The early Ming Dynasty was a period of constant turmoil. It was an era of receding instability, yet a group of heroes and ruthless figures stirred history, propelling the Ming Dynasty's rule to its first peak! In such a historical context, how did an ordinary person from modern times manage to manipulate events, intervene in such turbulent times, and achieve his own quiet brilliance?

Return to the Tang Dynasty and vie for supremacy. In the fifth year of the Tianbao era, more than a century had passed since the founding of the Tang Dynasty. After nearly several decades of governing the country, Li Longji, who was already of age, was somewhat weary. Since he conferred the title of Consort Yang on the imperial concubine, his mind had gradually drifted away from the tedious and complicated affairs of state. 'Joyful songs and slow dances, accompanied by the sounds of strings and bamboo instruments, kept the emperor entertained all day long.' He began to indulge in music and dance, and from then on, the emperor no longer held morning court sessions... That spring, a newcomer arrived at the Sulou Beacon Garrison in Anxi—a time traveler from the future. He first joined the border guards, displaying his prowess by repelling the barbarian tribes, and then escorted the princess to the capital, stepping into the heart of the Tang Dynasty's power. In a short time, he transformed from a tough, resolute man from the future into a wise and courageous hero of a prosperous era.

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.
