Rebirth of the Spring and Autumn Warring States Era Fiction
Rebirth of the Spring and Autumn Warring States Era

This is an era filled with contradictions, a time when sages like Laozi, Confucius, Yan Zi, and Sun Zi emerged, laying the foundation for the Hundred Schools of Thought. But this era is also filled with injustice, with constant warfare resulting in the decline of hundreds of feudal states, leaving only a few dozen. Many feudal states have experienced multiple destructions and revivals. Kings seize the opportunity to invade when another king mourns the death of a relative or when the kingdom faces disasters. Rulers prioritize personal gain over trust and righteousness. They fail to rule as true kings, and their subjects fail to serve as loyal subjects. The power in the state of Lu is divided amongst the Three Hengs, in Jin it is shared among the Four Qing, and in Qi, the Tian family holds great power on the sidelines. In this era, Yang Zilu does not possess grand ambitions, but unfortunately, due to an incorrect decision by King Goujian, he is forced onto the path of hegemony. ......... If you, my dear readers, find "Rebirth in the Spring and Autumn Warring States" enjoyable, please don't forget to recommend it to your friends in your QQ groups and on Weibo!
