Features: A real night banquet in history! In the late years of the Southern Tang Dynasty, plagued by internal strife and external threats, everyone struggled to survive in the harsh political climate. Han Xizai was a senior minister and a three-dynasty veteran of the Southern Tang, yet he secretly allied with factions, stockpiled troops, and conspired with the Song Dynasty to rebel. The story begins with Han Xizai hosting a night banquet for his guests, while Li Yu sends painter Gu Hongzhong to spy on them. Step by step, it unravels a web of entanglements. The book employs a lyrical style of alternating long and short sentences, reading like a ballad sung by a wandering poet. From both historical and literary perspectives, it holds significant artistic value, serving as a bold exploration of modern fiction and adding profound depth to Chinese tragic literature.
