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.

[Slightly hardcore] + [A huge number of self-created academies and students] + [With both angst and sweet moments] + [Daily life/battle]...

Thirty years ago, the Seventeenth Joint Campus was destroyed by an unknown force, turning the once prosperous academy into a desolate ruin. Our forefathers fought desperately during the catastrophe, sacrificing their lives to give their descendants a chance to survive. However, the survivors still wander among the ruins, lost, helpless, and uncertain of the future.

Just as despair was spreading, a firm voice rang out:

"Reconstruction, revival, revenge."

Guided by this brief yet powerful message, the students of Campus 17 wiped away their tears and rose again. They rebuilt their homes from the ruins, unearthing buried scientific discoveries from the depths of the rubble, etching the tragedy into their hearts and transforming past pain into motivation for progress. Beneath the wasteland lies not only a shattered civilization, but also revelations powerful enough to change the future.

Thirty years later, when a similar disaster struck another school known as "Children's Eden," the students of the Seventeenth Campus resolutely raised the blade of revenge. They were no longer helpless survivors, but fighters who had overcome the shadow of death. With thirty years of accumulated experience and the strength forged from the ruins, they would safeguard hope and reverse their fate.

"The past belongs to history, but we remember it."

"What is now ruins, we will rebuild."

"The future belongs to hope, and we create it."

From suppressing the rebellion and reducing the power of the princes to relocating the capital and compiling the classics, from conquering the Mongols to venturing to Southeast Asia, I was omnipresent, yet no one knew of my presence. I wielded power in my sleeves, traveling incognito, discreetly! Discreetness is the key to success. A tortuous life, a passive fate, ultimately led to his rise and counterattack. Seemingly a powerless imposter, he reversed his passive life trajectory, creating a new landscape for the entire environment! The turbulent struggle for the throne, the meticulously planned reforms to reduce the power of the princes, the glorious moment of the Yongle Encyclopedia, the decisive relocation of the capital, the internal strife and external rebellions—in all these events, large and small, his shadow could not be erased, his footprints could not be concealed! The early Ming Dynasty was a time of constant turmoil. It was an era of receding turmoil, yet a group of heroes and ruthless figures stirred history, pushing the Ming Dynasty's rule to its first peak! In such a historical context, how did a small figure from modern times manage to manipulate events, intervene in such upheaval, and achieve his own discreet glory?

(Part 3 ongoing! Updated every Friday at 2 PM) This world of martial arts is becoming less and less like the martial arts world! "Under the Sky" tells the story of an unprecedented era of martial arts: imperial power has long since vanished, knights-errant are licensed to practice, enemies are killed according to the rules, and the former rules of the martial arts world have all evolved into laws. However, why are chivalry, justice, and the hearts of the people gradually fading away...?

Maggots feed on decay, then transform into flies; mountains of corpses and seas of blood give rise to swords of the highest order.

In a desolate valley, he will find an ancient palace, where he will encounter Mongols, Kazakhs, countless man-eating beasts, armored monsters, and a haunting, inescapable destiny.

I have a 1.5 million-word completed novel on Qidian.com called "Portrait of a Mask," and I sincerely guarantee that it will not be abandoned.

An, who almost got beaten half to death by her older brother at the very beginning for her failed elopement attempt, made a decisive and clear-headed decision:

Cling to the male lead's coattails! It's good to be under a big tree and enjoy the shade; painless motherhood and a carefree life are just around the corner!

"You flirted and ran away, don't you need some training??? Come with me to the army!"

However, six months later—

A woman leaned against the wall, pounding her chest with her small fist: "I want to go home! This military uniform... it's so hard on my back!!"

Man: "Your waist... just practice more." (Leaning closer) "Now, extra practice time!"

This book is composed of three works by Jiutu: Sui Chaos, Founding of the Nation, and Smoke and Clouds of the Prosperous Tang Dynasty, which are set in the Sui and Tang Dynasties.

Main characters: Li Xu, Li Wan'er,

The East River Alliance is the world’s biggest clan. Its chief, Mei Changsu, arrived at the royal capital Jinling under the alias of Su Zhe. He brought with him storms of disturbances and fogs of mysteries.

A noble young master with dual identities, a Crown Prince and Prince Yu battling for the crown, the empire’s greatest warrior with the Royal Guards in his grasp, a beautiful princess who commands over the border’s cavalry…

Amongst these distinguished and powerful people, how did the inconspicuous Su Zhe become the heart of everything?

Could the hand behind the scenes of the whirlwind be the remnants of a previous storm?

Is he the young general who pursues enemies in snowy nights, or the shadowy tactician with a sickly body who won’t see old age?

He returns to the old place and reunites with old friends. He plots and schemes. What is he trying to achieve?

This is a story of dark conspiracies and brotherly bonds. Before this story reaches its end, perhaps you can change its course…

Space is vast, and I want to see it, to wander, to conquer, to take… If I unfortunately die in the process, there is no need to remember me or my name. I am but a speck of dust in the universe, humble yet desiring to shine the brightest light…
