If you're a fan of historical fiction and are looking to immerse yourself in the world of the Tudors, you're in luck. In this article, we will explore some highly recommended historical fiction novels set in the Tudor era, as well as the talented authors behind them, and reliable websites to find more information.

This gripping novel explores the lives of Mary and Anne Boleyn, two sisters who capture the attention of King Henry VIII. Gregory's meticulous attention to historical detail and her ability to bring her characters to life make this novel an absolute page-turner.

Another acclaimed author in the genre is Hilary Mantel, who is best known for her award-winning novels "Wolf Hall" and "Bring Up the Bodies." Set in the 16th century, these novels follow the rise of Thomas Cromwell, an advisor to King Henry VIII. Mantel's rich prose and vivid storytelling transport readers to the Tudor court, offering a unique perspective on the era's political and social intrigue.

If you're interested in a different perspective on the Tudors, "The Queen's Fool" by Philippa Gregory is a fantastic choice. This novel focuses on Hannah Green, a young Jewish girl who poses as a fool in Queen Mary I's court. Through Hannah's eyes, readers gain insight into the religious tensions and political machinations of the time.

For those who prefer a series that delves deep into the Tudor period, look no further than C.J. Sansom's "Shardlake" series. Beginning with the novel "Dissolution," this series follows the adventures of lawyer Matthew Shardlake during the tumultuous reign of King Henry VIII. Sansom's meticulous research and compelling narratives make each installment of the series an absolute treat for history enthusiasts.

To keep up with the latest releases in Tudor-related historical fiction, websites like Goodreads and Historical Novel Society are excellent resources.

Tang Dynasty's excellent imperial horseman

When he traced his roots, modern-day Changsun Chong was sucked into a post-apocalyptic space. In order to reunite with his parents, he had no choice but to be sent back to the Tang Dynasty and become Changsun Chong, the son-in-law of the Tang Dynasty. Arriving in the Tang Dynasty, he was unfamiliar with the place and naturally needed to embrace the biggest thigh. The emperor was the biggest, so Li Er it is! Li Er was a good emperor, a successful ruler, but not a good brother, son, or father. In order to successfully embrace the thickest thigh, Changsun Chong went all out to flatter his brother-in-law, Li Er, helping him show filial respect to the empress dowager and train the imperial princes. Unfortunately, he discovered that this wasn't enough. Those sons-in-law, except for him, Changsun Chong, were all no good. He had to train them for Li Er as well. Spittle flew as Li Er waved his hand, directing the country: "Having just one good son is not enough. I want a group of good sons; having just one good son-in-law is not enough. I want a group of good sons-in-law." Changsun Chong timidly raised his hand and said, "Are you sure we're training princes and sons-in-law, and not raising pigs, herding cattle, and letting horses run wild?" If you think "The Good Son-in-law of the Tang Dynasty" is pretty good, don't forget to recommend it to your friends in your QQ group and Weibo!

In the early years of the Republic of China, the sky was just beginning to light up. The early morning of early spring still had a chill in the air, but the Shanghai North Bund Pier was already a bustling scene. There were porters carrying goods, unloading cargo, and people waiting, all in abundance. Inspector Ying Xi of the Old Gate Police Station in the Shanghai International Settlement was also waiting for someone. He was about twenty years old, with high cheekbones and deep-set eyes. His short hair was slightly messy, and the stubble on his cheeks added a touch of ruggedness to his handsomeness and wildness. Ying Xi was leaning against the back seat of his bicycle, wearing his police uniform. His leather shoes were scruffy on his feet, and the buttons on his uniform were undone, revealing a hint of the gun holstered at his waist. His face was turned towards the river, and his deep eyes gazed into the distance.
