[Novel adapted from the hit TV series "The Feather of Clouds"] She, a female spy who has no choice but to sneak into the "talent show" to capture that man, is her only chance to gain freedom; he, who is uneducated but forced to become an heir, breaks through numerous tests and is bent on revenge.

When the Xiongnu (yellow race, remnants of the Xia Dynasty) finally united all the nomadic peoples of Mongolia in the fifth century BC and defeated the Aryans (Indo-European whites) who had already conquered all of Europe and Western Asia, they subsequently annexed the Caucasian peoples of 26 kingdoms, including the Yuezhi, Loulan, Wusun, and Hujie. However, as time passed, the newly emerged white Xiongnu took over the upper echelons of the Xiongnu, calling themselves the Hu! The Chanyu sent envoys to China: "To the south, there are the mighty Han, to the north, the powerful Hu. The Hu are the chosen ones of heaven!" From that point on, war between the Xiongnu and the Chinese people never ceased. The Quanrong (a Xiongnu tribe) captured Haojing, forcing King Ping of Zhou to relocate eastward. King Wuling of Zhao, employing Hu clothing and horse archery, defeated the Linhu. Li Mu crushed the Xiongnu. Qin Shihuang recaptured the Hetao region. Emperor Gaozu of Han was besieged at Baideng and fled in disgrace. Empress Lü was forced to resign herself to humiliation and recuperate. Emperor Wu of Han wiped out the previous humiliation and continuously defeated the Xiongnu, but the war continued into the Jin Dynasty. After the "Eight Princes Rebellion" of the Western Jin Dynasty, the elite Chinese were depleted. The Xiongnu took advantage of the situation to launch an uprising, followed by the Jie, Di, Xianbei, and Qiang tribes, marking the beginning of the "Five Barbarians Invasion of China"! Unfortunately, this protagonist was born at the end of the Western Jin Dynasty, forced to survive as an androgynous person... Who would lead the Han people from extinction? Who could once again stop the invasion of the white race?

To end the curse that had plagued his family for millennia, he chose the darkest path.

As the 97th Master of the Demon Slayer Corps, Kagaya Ubuyashiki has always been a gentle and revered leader in the hearts of all his members. However, as the curse increasingly erodes his life, and as he foresees that his daughters will repeat the same mistakes, on the verge of despair, he makes a choice that will shake the world—to make a deal with Muzan Kibutsuji and become the most hidden Upper Moon Zero.

By day, he remains the lord who guides everyone in the fight against demons; by night, however, he is loyal to his millennia-old nemesis. When the truth is revealed on the eve of the final battle, the Demon Slayer Corps' faith crumbles overnight. The former "father" becomes the most despicable traitor, and the Pillars who once swore their undying loyalty turn their blades against each other.

But at the end of this sin-soaked road, does Kagaya hold a trump card that can turn the tide for a thousand years? When wisteria blossoms alongside bloodshed, this game of chess that began with betrayal will finally reach a shocking conclusion.

In the fifth year of the Tianyou era of the Han Dynasty, a renowned surgeon unexpectedly transmigrated into the body of Jia Yun, a nobody in the Dream of the Red Chamber. Originally, Jia Yun only wanted to be a wealthy man through his own abilities. Given the chance, he also hoped to flirt with Qingwen and Ping'er, and perhaps even encounter Daiyu and Baochai. But this wasn't the prosperous and romantic Grand View Garden of the Han Dynasty; instead, the world was in turmoil! The Jurchens in Liaodong were eyeing the land covetously, bandits in the northwest were rising up in the chaos, and the White Lotus sect in the southeast was spreading deceitful rumors—the Han empire was already teetering on the brink of collapse. Having been reborn, Jia Yun knew the principle that no egg remains intact when the nest is overturned. But with neither a system nor a powerful backer, only his knowledge and experience, hundreds of years ahead of his time, he had no choice but to pick up his pen and, in a desperate gamble, carve out a bloody path through the imperial examinations! From a child scholar to a licentiate, from a provincial graduate to a tribute student, from a metropolitan graduate to a metropolitan graduate… Jia Yun raced through the ranks, from the periphery of the Grand View Garden straight to the heart of the empire's power. Destroy the Jurchens…

After sixteen years of studying opera, he stepped onto the stage to vanquish demons and gods.

He played Bao Gong, and the ghosts cried out for justice as Yama, the King of Hell, was beheaded by the dragon-headed guillotine.

I'll impersonate Zhong Kui, vanquish demons across the land, and capture evil spirits to enjoy with my wine.

The dancing Guan Yu, with his unwavering righteousness, sweeps away all injustice with his Green Dragon Crescent Blade.

Singing of the Great Sage, with his mighty cudgel rising, the jade sky is cleared of dust for ten thousand miles!

...

"A mere actor dares to pretend to be a god?"

Deep within the Yin Mountains, a ghost king uttered a mocking voice.

"An actor?"

Zhou Sheng suddenly opened his phoenix eyes, Guan Gong's robe billowed without wind, and his crescent blade trembled with a dragon's roar.

"Waaaaah!"

The painted-face singer's voice is like a thunderclap from a clear sky, accompanied by the rapid beat of gongs and drums. The Azure Dragon splits open the gates of hell and single-handedly goes to the meeting to capture the demon!

With all the demons vanquished, Zhou Sheng stood stroking his beard and began reciting lines in a theatrical style.

"The demonic aura has vanished, and the world is now clear and bright. You must remember:"

I am—the Marquis of Hanshou, the Great Emperor Xietian, the Holy Lord Guan!

The Xianmen and the Hiddenmen appeared one after another to control the court;

The history of the late Ming Dynasty was chaotic and complex, and can be described as a history written by a few people with strong personal charisma.

Whether it was rebels like Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong, rulers like Chongzhen and Yuan Chonghuan, or traitors like Wu Sangui and Geng Jingzhong, each of them had many stories. It was because of these wonderful stories that the history of the late Ming Dynasty became so grand and turbulent.

To write this period of history well, we must naturally depict vivid characters, regardless of their stance. We stand on the edge of the long river of history and observe from the sidelines; they are merely a ripple in this long river.

To observe the world with a critical eye is what we need to do now, and to observe history with a critical eye is also a pursuit in our lives.

The river of history has flowed to our feet, and we can stand on its banks, ready to embrace our history.

theater:

After the court session, Chen Jinzhao, clutching the jade tablet, tried to leave with his head down, but was quickly stopped by the chief eunuch waiting outside the Golden Palace.

"Your Excellency, the Regent is waiting for you to come and discuss matters. Please come in."

A four-horse carriage was parked where the Grand Eunuch indicated. Other court officials walked around it from a distance, and even when they passed by from afar, they would still bow deeply to show their respect.

The carriage curtains were not lowered, and the person inside sat upright, motionless as a mountain.
