Back in the Shang Dynasty, people realized that the stars held clues to heaven’s secrets. When times changed and nothing remained the same, only the... more>> stars were predictable. Then people realized it was better not to pray to the stars, as no change meant no war and any little change meant the world would change. Yet the Han Dynasty wanted to tap into these secrets, and so they gathered experts and sent them into a mountain retreat called Kunlun so they could study the stars and predict the future. After a long time, the secret organization, the Kunlun Messengers, actually managed to predict major events and disasters years into the future. The Kunlun Messengers chose fourteen major stars. They had each expert control one star to represent the major crises and events within 1,000 years. The remaining experts also chose secondary stars according to their ability and predicted other changes and turning points. After much work, a map of stars was created and left behind for more divination, as these experts seemed to disappear among the peaks of Mt. Kunlun. <<less

The puppet emperor who lingered in the pear garden was confronted by the domineering and sinister regent. On the first day of slipping out of the palace, he encountered a very handsome fool. The fool was poisoned, and Chu Zhaoyou, out of compassion, was caught and forced to detoxify him. Later, he discovered that the fool was the regent, and tears fell as he learned the truth.... more>>

It is said that the regent would go to great lengths to find someone, and once found, that person would be greatly favored. Chu Zhaoyou: Forget it, he's still threatening me to abdicate today.

At first, Chu Zhaoyou thought he had to keep it a secret, as the puppet emperor, he had already let down his ancestors and becoming the regent's lover would be even more tragic. Later, he found out that he could get pregnant.

Chu Zhaoyou: I have to keep it a secret, the regent has ambitious plans, and once the crown prince is born, my life will be over.
Then, his belly grew.
Chu Zhaoyou: I have to keep it a secret...

In the mansion of the Duke of Tang in Jinyang, a pair of twin brothers resided. The elder brother, Li Shimin, was physically robust and excelled in martial arts, while the younger, Li Xuanba, had been consuming medicines from the time he was born. It was often said that twins shared a mysterious telepathic link. Li Shimin, the second son of the Duke, confirmed these rumors to be true.... more>>

After several moments of shock caused by the astonishing words originating from Li Xuanba's mind, Li Shimin decided to confront his twin. "Xuan, do you know that each time you focus your mind, I can hear your thoughts? Can you possibly stop doing so? I prefer not to listen." Li Xuanba, known far and wide as the fragile son who was always under the weather retorted, "No. If you're dissatisfied, you can talk as well." Li Shimin, though physically healthy but mentally not as robust as Li Xuanba, tried with all his might to conjure a mental expression, only managing to squeeze out a single character after turning a shade of purple. "Ah!!!!!!!" This left Li Xuanba almost laughing himself into convulsions.

In his previous life, Li Xuanba worked as an editor for a historical marketing account. He had specialized in trolling Li Shimin to gain traffic. However, after overworking himself to death one night, he was reborn as the fragile twin brother of Li Shimin, a character from a historical fiction novel famous for a bravery akin to that of Xiang Yu, but in reality died of illness at the age of sixteen. Li Xuanba thought, "Oh ho, this is retribution." Regardless, he decided to go with the flow, even telling his brother, "Hey, if you want any spoilers, I'll tell you!" Li Shimin, exasperated, retorted, "I don't want to hear anything!!"

Years later, Li Shimin was adorned in dragon robes, his hands stained with fresh blood. Li Xuanba, frail as ever, was still alive. One day, after Li Xuanba fell onto the ground pretending to faint after an argument with Wei Zheng, Li Shimin hoisted his brother onto his back and set off running, just like when they were children. "Hahaha, brother, you should have seen how twisted old Wei's face was!" Li Xuanba laughed. "Shut up!" replied Li Shimin. "Congratulations, brother. You can finally say two words, hehe." Once again, Li Shimin displayed a grimace of annoyance, carrying his bothersome brother forward with each step.

Footnote:
This is a story that the author enjoys writing, filled with palace intrigue, sibling rivalry, and acts of patricide. It's an alternative history, filled with many unfounded rumors and private settings. The dialogs and appellations are more modernized instead of being authentic to the Tang Dynasty. The main characters are far from perfect: Li Shimin has his flaws as a feudal emperor; Li Xuanba is even less of a good person, his main priority being his own well-being. Updates are daily. If any changes, an announcement will be made.

Next up is the lengthy novel "Ren Xiaojun Liu Ying Ye of the Great Han Dynasty". Please add it to your favorites! In this story, Liu Ying awakens his memories from a past modern life at the age of five. He knows his "history". He remembers his father, Liu Bang, tried to depose him, and his mother, Lü Zhi, attempted to scare him to death. All these memories ignited his anger towards his cruel parents.

Suddenly, she thrust out the sword……..it didn’t kill him.

“Wife, don’t fight anymore because Husband is afraid that my martial arts is too powerful and may hurt you by mistake. My heart will hurt.”

“Wife, you must not castrate your husband’s second brother. Without him, you won’t have happiness.

Zhu Xiang, a professor of agriculture, found himself transported to the chaotic era of the Warring States in the Zhao Country. After much hardship, his life began to improve.

“Uncle, Zheng can conquer all the lands under the sun and moon and give them to you for farming, how does that sound?”

“Ah? Hahaha, that sounds great!” His uncle let out a hearty laugh, lifting him onto his shoulders. “Wherever Zheng’s kingdom expands, your uncle’s fields will follow.”

A large hands firmly holding onto the smaller one. “It’s a promise.”
