Features: The eccentric old turtle, Zhao Laibei, has been clever and cunning since childhood, renowned for his eloquence. At the age of fifteen, he became a rebel commander, but by twenty, he was sent back to his hometown. Unwilling to accept his fate, he dreamt of grand schemes, fled into exile, and fought tirelessly, yet he was defeated time and time again. Despite losing everything and living in poverty, he remained a roguish romantic. His legendary love stories with three beautiful women are both heart-stirring and laughable. At the age of fifty, he had a dream of an intimate night, only to die unexpectedly in the capital. This book uses bittersweet humor and tearful laughter to vividly portray a tragic figure who was ruthlessly left behind by the tides of history.
