Author Yanzhiyu blends her understanding of the late Sui Dynasty history with her absorption and critique of traditional storytelling. From the brief six words in history books, "Luo Yi had a son named Cheng," she weaves an epic tale. In this book, author Yanzhiyu fulfills her childhood dream by defying the already established character images and reshaping many heroes of the late Sui and early Tang chaos. Many characters, including the protagonist Luo Cheng, deviate significantly from the fixed images in traditional The Romance of the Sui and Tang Dynasties series. The book's dramatic ups and downs in the chaotic times, life's twists and turns, romantic entanglements, and even martial arts rivalries offer readers a fresh experience. The plot is intricate, like a winding corridor with ever-changing scenery at every step; the writing jumps like a song, flowing seamlessly, as if ( is a Chinese idiom and should remain unchanged).
