Features: This series of books is written in the genre of historical romance. This genre has a long history, originating from the folk "storytelling" during the Tang and Song dynasties and taking shape in the Ming and Qing periods. Looking at its development process, it is not difficult to see that ancient romances (taking Romance of the Three Kingdoms as an example) mostly used fictional, imaginative, and exaggerated techniques. The perspective, style, and scale chosen were determined by the author's individual creative thinking and imagination. In modern times (taking Romance of the Three Kingdoms as an example), the romance genre has undergone changes compared to the ancient era. It is largely based on historical records and rarely deviates from historical facts. Due to the influence of the official historical chronicles and the discontinuous history method, modern romances rarely depict important historical figures and common people in the social, economic, and cultural fields. Most of the content is used to introduce emperors, generals, internal conspiracies, dynastic changes, and even palace secrets.
