【Introduction】

The sixteenth year of Chongzhen was a truly chaotic era: the sound of horse hooves like rain, shouts like thunder, and hot blood like gushing.

The white hair of the loving mother in the Central Plains, the distant gaze of the spring chamber in the south of the Yangtze River, and the night cries of the young children in Hunan and Xiangxi.

The farewell under the willow trees in the hometown, the general’s wide-open angry eyes, and the military flag fluttering in the north wind.

Waves of smoke and dust blew up, and the land of China trembled under the iron hoofs of the Tartars.
Qin Mu held the Juque sword in his hand, and behind him was a large black flag with the word "Qin" on it. The black was deep, cold, mysterious and solemn. It was a symbol of power and strength.

Under the big flag, the black iron stream was like a raging sea, just like the iron army that swept across the world back then.

"My ambition remains unfulfilled, and the people are still suffering. The land is full of traces of tears. Kill!"

However, there is also joy in suffering. Don’t you see Xiangjun serving wine, lying drunkenly on the waves? You should be like this.
【Golden Five Chapters】

Chapter One: First Arrival at Qinhuai. In the sixteenth year of the Chongzhen Emperor's reign, the protagonist, Qin Mu, failed the imperial examination for the third time. He once again visited Li Xiangjun by the Qinhuai River, hoping to take her away, but was politely refused. The Eastern Depot, in a hurry, rushed upstairs. The protagonist heroically rescued the beauty, only to be sent to the hospital, where a young man of the same name from a later generation successfully took over her body. Unexpectedly, Miss Li took great care of him.

Chapter 2: A Housewife with a Fierce Wife. The protagonist is actually a son-in-law of the Qian family. Previously, he was living comfortably on the reputation of a talented scholar. Now, after failing the imperial examination three times, his wife has finally fallen out with him. Unable to tolerate her verbal abuse any longer, the protagonist writes a letter of divorce and leaves the house. Such a fierce wife is better off gone.

Chapter 3: Hou Fangyu's Rage. With nowhere to go and no money to eat, the protagonist stands at a pancake stand for a long time, watching. After helping out by calling out twice, he receives two pancakes. Hou Fangyu finds Li Xiangjun and scolds her for letting Qin Mu stay overnight, saying it has created a very negative impact on Nanjing. She'd actually considered such a man her life partner; her judgment was clearly poor.

Chapter 4: A Stunning Sword. The protagonist, having sacrificed his moral integrity in exchange for a steamed bun, is spotted by a beggar, who, through persuasion and deception, begs her to be his friend. Her name is Xiaoqiao, and she, too, is a pitiful creature. They arrive at an ancestral temple, intending to spend the night there, when they are suddenly attacked.

Chapter 5: I'm going to the brothel. It turns out to be a false alarm; the man in question is the same tycoon previously pursued by the Eastern Depot at Meixianglou, now gravely injured. The protagonist, innocent and unconcerned, steals the man's money. He takes Xiaoqiao to a pancake stall and shows off his prowess. Grateful for the favor, he ultimately saves the tycoon.

【Brief Comment】

He Haoyuan, a Level 5 author, has written five works, including "Mountains Gradually Green" and "Step by Step to the Tang Dynasty". The best-performing one is the one I recommend today. The latest update of this book stopped on June 10, 2017, and the performance was particularly poor, and it didn't even last until it was put on the shelves.

而《明扬天下》起点收藏7.14万，书城收藏3.3万，粉丝数19万，盟主10位。创作时间是2013年10月至2015年10月。

He no longer writes books under this account, but there's no guarantee he's changed his username. Despite impressive achievements, he hasn't been able to stick with it to this day, which suggests that multiple unfinished or abandoned projects have a significant impact on an author's account.

However, I believe that he should still be writing silently.

Besides, all the great writers nowadays have several aliases.

As for the story, although the early part wrote about the Chongzhen period and the protagonist was just a son-in-law who failed repeatedly, in the later period he established the Qin Dynasty with his extraordinary abilities, and the empire expanded to the whole world, with trains, ships, cannons, and everything else.

But overall, the writing feels broken, as the protagonist only achieved all of this in eighteen years. The style also leans towards harem fiction, and in today's market, it's probably difficult to get it published.

If you are interested, you can go and have a look.

【to sum up】

Writing is not easy, so cherish every moment!

I’m Cang Yiwei, and I’m here to promote “Cang’s Ramblings”!
Welcome to the paradise of book reviews.

【Cang's Ramblings】

This book is also very good and full of sincerity.

Of course, for those who have read a lot of historical novels, the routine of this book is very obvious and does not go beyond the common routine of Ming Dynasty novels.

Although it is a bit cliché, the author still wrote it in his own style, which is very impressive.

Worth seeing!
