Lu Ming transmigrates and becomes a host at the national television network. He had planned to coast along until retirement, but then his boss assigns him to take over Dialogue Across the Ages, a program on the verge of a disastrous ratings collapse!
Fortunately, the System arrives just then, giving him the ability to travel to ancient times and speak with the ancestors!
The Yongle Emperor: "I sent fleets across the Western Seas, compiled the Yongle Encyclopedia, and secured victory at Langjuxu. Is that still not enough to clear me of the stain of usurping the throne?!"
Lu Ming: "Though the usurpation is a settled matter, Your Majesty's achievements will endure throughout history!"
The First Emperor: "If I had not built the Great Wall, I could have rested easy and borne fewer curses. But what would have become of the people on the frontier? How could the barren lands of the Xiongnu be worth Qin men going to war for?!"
Lu Ming: "Your Majesty, the land of the Xiongnu is not barren. Beyond the grasslands and the sea lie lands rich in resources!"
"Is that really true?!"
In the Xianyang Palace, the First Emperor leapt to his feet and swept his sleeve. From that day on, wherever the armies of Great Qin marched became the Great Wall!
The subject matter is novel, and the characters' inner thoughts and actions are well-described; it's one of the few books you can read without getting tired of it.
Although the writing style is somewhat immature, the ideas are clear, the overall direction is well-controlled, and it promotes positive values and inspires patriotism. This would be even more exciting if adapted into an animated series; our times need more works written in plain language like this.
I've read up to the sixth episode, and I haven't stopped crying. The author writes so well; my pillow has been soaked with tears several times.
I think it would be great if everyone could see this book!!!
I started reading this novel around September 28th, and only just discovered it now. Well, it's kind of fitting for the National Day theme. Maybe I subconsciously felt that National Day was approaching, so I read some patriotic novels. A tribute to our ancestors! A tribute to the soldiers who defended our country! A tribute to our great motherland! Happy birthday, Motherland!
At first, I was pleasantly surprised; it was beautiful. But the more I watched, the more verbose it seemed.
Yes, it feels good overall; the author is still very positive.
A very good novel, with depth and sentiment.
When will the author write the next one?
The book is good, but I personally felt the plot was a bit wordy, with one dialogue chapter being over ten chapters long... I didn't have the patience to read it all...
