The Brocade-Clad Guards Slay the Ming 锦衣杀明
What are the Embroidered Uniform Guards for? Killing people! What kind of people? Those who stand in the way of the Ming dynasty's progress! Those who occupy their posts but do no work, corrupt officials and embezzlers: kill! Those who form cliques for personal gain and revel in infighting: kill! Those who forge imperial edicts and frame loyal subjects: kill! Those who put their own interests first and refuse to pay taxes: kill!

Pretty Interesting Historical Novels
I sincerely recommend great books that will take you through the landscapes of the past and let you explore the long river of history. These are all interesting historical novels about saving the nation in times of crisis, changing history, and achieving remarkable things. They span parallel worlds, ancient China, and old Europe, each with a different social setting. This is a list devoted to historical fiction, so please don't recommend other genres.
Entertainment Base (Completed, with Lots of Chapters)
New list, please save it! Most of my recommendations have lots of women in them, so don't come in if that's not your thing! If you share my taste, save the list for now.

I especially like satisfying urban fiction, with entertainment-industry stories at the top of my list, particularly Chinese and Hong Kong entertainment. But someti
I Love History, Even Though Real History Is Heavy!
Mainly transmigration novels set in the late Ming and early Qing. I'll also recommend good novels set in the Tang and Song dynasties.
