Can the Emperor Reach the Other Shore? 朕能走到对岸吗
There have never been any shortage of swindlers in this world. Some pretend to be wealthy merchants, some pose as talented scholars, and some pass themselves off as beggars. Yet few have ever dared to impersonate the Son of Heaven. In Xuchang, Cao Cao had brought back Emperor Xian of Han. In Jizhou, there was another Liu Xie who looked exactly like him. Yuan Shao proclaimed to all under heaven that the emperor in Jizhou was the real one, while the emperor in Xuchang was an impostor hired by Cao

Um, I guess I'm a longtime reader by now. Here's a list of some books I've read that I thought were pretty good, along with a few I'd warn people away from. Some books have great stats, but didn't suit my taste. I also have a few I'd like to call out for not living up to their reputations, so I'll give them their own section here instead of saying so in the authors' comment sections. I'm not too picky about what I read. What I care about most is whether the prose flows smoothly, so there's a bit

Red beans grow in the southern lands, a place now far away. What does longing matter? No one cares anymore. Drunk, I lie in the city that never sleeps, neon lights everywhere.
