Description
Links are NOT allowed. Format your description nicely so people can easily read them. Please use proper spacing and paragraphs.This is an alternate history. Decades after the fall of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, the world is still in chaos, although there is hope for reunification.
Of poor background, Jiang Zhe, styled Suiyun, has finally, after ten years of hard work, passed the imperial examinations and become a scholar within Hanlin Academy. Unwittingly, he becomes involved in the succession dispute of the Great Yong Dynasty. He faces conspiracies and machinations and countless battles of strength and wits. Intending to avoid court politics, he ultimately has no choice but to become involved. With no alternative, Jiang Zhe can only follow the crowd, joining the chaotic political turmoil. In this conniving world, he uses his intelligence and knowledge to provide for himself and his companions a stable environment to survive.
Watch nations fall, great men rise, and supreme martial artists kneel before the quiet whispers of a frail, unassuming scholar.

This should be my 2nd ever written review whilst being on this Page for over a Year.
It is one of those novels. Honestly how someone gives this a rating below 4.5 stars is beyond me, maybe difference in taste? I wouldn't understand. But as someone who appreciates innovativeness as well as language I can only heartily recommend this to anyone who is bored of most of the generic novels, no matter if slice of life or xianxia or whatever these genres are called. There is no use of repetition and every line is clearly well thought. Though it is not one that avocets emotions and intimacy with the character it still keeps you tightly in its grasp. And I meant when I said with not sufficient understanding of language, if your below the age of 16 -don't bother- you won't understand its features as well as exclusive charm. The story is portrayed mostly out of the perspective of a scholar, a genius of a scholar to be precise, who withers the storms of his life. Starting at the age of 15 the story already introduces main characters with a precise sense of forbidding anyone could decipher without giving us too much food for thought. The story continues this pace. Only bequeathing us with a solution in the end. The interests of this novel are the own solution and how it aligns with the authors ideas. By chapter 30 he is already aged above 26 if I am correct. So you get a feeling of the pacing. These are longwinded chapters. Not short ones. These 30 chapters took me about all in all 5 hours to read, whilst staying at a blissful pace. If this still does not interests you, maybe this approach will: the story is about war and how it affects individuals, how the react to certain problems and their ways of solution. The protagonist isn't the "main" character of this story. He is a follower and on his search for a worthy leader. Furnished with wits and a incredible loyal retainer, he is the embodiment of change even though he desperately tries to avoid too heavy of a burden. At least till now. In the 30 chapters the novel has released, the main character has had a lot of change, not such superficial that he suddenly grew coldhearted through unfortunate events, but rather subliminal changes that seem to make this persona realistic to the reader. Which is very seldom found in most light novels. The Author isn't afraid to integrate his personal philosophy as well as dreams into this story, unafraid to be unique, unafraid to build up character arcs to only destroy those said characters without a shred of sympathy. This novel is well thought out and the ending is most likely already clear to the author. He ties up loose ends with arcs to start anew. Well I call them arc but what they are, are possibilities for the protagonist to progress or deteriorate. This story has no convenient plot devices as well as lucky encounters. Every encounter is calculated or an example of the mistakes of the Protagonist.
All in all it is surprisingly realistic.
All in all I have read about 4 novels in my entirety of reading that came to this level. if you have time and an adept mind due read this, not for your fascination with powerful individuals or their creation harems, but to appreciate the conflict of life. Due apologize my ghastly language as well as my heinous use of punctuation or grammar. English is my 2nd language so forgive me for minor offenses and correct me on the larger ones. Have fun reading :)
I basically just started reading this, but the style is very unique and interesting, and coupled with an intriguing plot and character, I'm very hopeful for this story. One thing I noticed almost instantly: the translator really puts in the work. Chapter 3 alone had 49 footnotes explaining various Chinese terms/traditions, and I really respect that. Registered an account and wrote this because of the great story and amazing translator (yes, there are minor typos here and there, but look at the big picture) -------
Read all of the current translated chapters, and nothing has changed. I really like this story. As the TL accurately described, it's an"Alt-History political scheming story with Wuxia flavouring". Don't expect dumb xianxia fights, don't expect the character to become an unbeatable martial monster, this story has a very fleshed out world and complex politics. This story is much more mature (not in a pervy way) than anything else I have read on this site, and I'm in love. The story has it's unique niche of story telling, also introducing historical excerpts in many chapters to give a better overview and special touch.
