【Golden Five Chapters】

Chapter One begins with a beggar's job. The protagonist, transmigrating into a beggar named Yang Xin, faces a siege from a group of men, including wealthy young men, soldiers wielding goose-feather swords, and centurions. Finding a carrying pole, the protagonist defeats the men, only to be spotted by generals on high. They prepare to deploy him to the Liaodong front.

Chapter Two: The setting sun of a prosperous era. The protagonist flees towards the city gates, where soldiers fire their muskets, but all their attacks fall short. Outside, another group lies in ambush. Using their horses to block the gates, the protagonist manages to escape to shore. He escapes from the Ming Dynasty's Tianjin Fortress. The tide is rising, and a wealthy young woman appears to have fallen into the water.

Chapter Three: Let Me Do It. The protagonist actively rescues a wealthy young woman who has fallen into the water, even attempting to give her artificial respiration. He's not the one to do it. Pursuers soon arrive, and upon learning that the boat's owner is the Governor of Ji and Liao, they're nearly terrified. However, the protagonist doesn't dare return to the boat, instead floating into a lotus pond clutching the gourd, where he encounters the boatman's daughter.

Chapter 4: We Are All Good Citizens. The protagonist is found by a woman named Huang Ying, who helps him remove leeches from his body. Having injured many people, the protagonist is legally liable to be executed twice, and only by sailing with the woman can he remain safe. They drift on the boat, discussing the dangers of red nematodes, as a larger ship approaches.

Chapter 5, the 47th year of the Wanli reign. This ship is the merchant ship of Huang Ying's father, Huang Zhen, and is carrying rapeseed oil. From this ship, the protagonist learns that it is the 47th year of the Wanli reign, the Battle of Sarhu has ended, and the Ming Dynasty has completely lost the initiative in Liaodong. However, soon, the ship of the Governor-General of Ji and Liao finds them.

【Brief Comment】

Mu Yunfeng, a level 5 author, is the author of "God-level Creator", "Five Good Youths of the Ming Dynasty", and "Five Good Youths of the Song Dynasty" (now known as "Destroy the Song Dynasty").

This book has 49,100 followers on Qidian.com, 4498 on Bookstore, 120,000 followers, and one leader. It launched on July 1, 2019, received 1400 initial orders, and reached premium status on January 2, 2020, after six months of development. The story primarily tells the story of Yang Xin, a runaway slave. This inspiration can be drawn from the character played by Jang Dong-gun in the film "The Promise."

However, the protagonist was very skilled and successfully escaped from Tianjin. He refused Xiong Tingbi's recruitment and followed Huang Ying to another place.

In the end, he became a capable assistant to Emperor Tianqi, helping the Ming Empire to conquer the surrounding foreign countries and even marking the territory of America.

This book is quite difficult to read because the author's writing is so good that I can't bear to skip around, for fear that he is hiding some story in his writing. His use of long and short sentences is excellent, and the descriptions of fights are very vivid and the sense of imagery is quite strong.

No wonder some readers say that the beginning of this book is much more advanced than the books on the list, and it is not an exaggeration at all.

The author put a lot of effort into the opening, and you can feel it with just a glance.

On the downside, I also feel that the protagonist's combat power is too strong, and he runs around too slowly. Some of the jokes are too abrupt, and his purpose after traveling through time is a bit unclear, and he just runs around aimlessly following beautiful women.

But overall, this book is worth reading and is very well done.

【to sum up】

Writing is not easy, so cherish every moment!
