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, 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.

Easily one of the best novels on WW....It's translated very well, loads of appreciation for the translators and the editors. There aren't any other novels of this genre on WW as far as I know. The character development is beautiful, the author considers multiple perspectives and the level of thought put into the story is phenomenal. It's very easy to recommend this novel because it's so great. It's narrated with a mix of first-person and third-person, and the dialogues are smart and sophisticated, with great plot developments. Primarily a historical fiction with heavy use of strategy and tactics, there's also great action and decent romantic content.

For new readers wanting to know if this novel is any good:

There's about 27 chapters more to go as of 15 March 2020.

I strongly recommend this novel, though i even more strongly recommend to read ONLY when this novel is actually finished, because it is so well written, you'll enjoy it more when its complete.

Translation speed aside, the translators have made a high quality translation and it is deeply satisfying to read.

This is no Xianxia, this is a true wuxia novel where every character is well fleshed out (though of course the MC is super intelligent)

Do monitor the updates and read only when its completed!

Rating: 9.5/10

This story does so many things right: side characters are well written and thought out with depth added, MC is SUPER smart and puts it to use constantly to make you in awe, drama is thick and the novel did good at drawing emotions whether sadness, anger, or anxiousness. I'm so happy that I tried this story, but I'm also a little sad that more people haven't read it.

Should you read this? absolutely! you can wait until it's finished, or go ahead and dive into a wonderful story with no cultivation, stupid sects, arrogant rich children, or word fluff. Thanks for reading my less than average review, hope this helped! haha
