I recommend the book "Sui Bian" to you. It's an ancient romance novel. The novel was about Empress Xiao in history, from the empress of Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty, to the Shu concubine of Yuwen Huaji, to the favorite concubine of Dou Jiande, to the princess of two generations of Turkic kings, and finally to the Zhaorong of Emperor Taizong's harem. The protagonist of the novel, Xiao Posuo, did not want to be a puppet of the six emperors from Yang Guang to Li Shimin in the turbulent history. Instead, she wanted to live with dignity. If she didn't have a way to live with dignity, then she would let this dynasty become a world she liked. I hope you like this fairy's recommendation. Muah ~😗

The meaning of being a citizen was to be a citizen for generations. The word Shimin came from Yanzi's Spring and Autumn Annals, which meant to serve the people. The origin of this term was closely related to economics. It aimed to govern the country and make the people live and work in peace and contentment. The name of Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty, Li Shimin, also matched this meaning. Under his rule, he promoted the prosperity of the social economy and made the country strong.
Li Shimin was described as a loyal king, handsome, and extraordinary. The great poet Du Fu also praised his image. Other than being handsome, he was also very powerful. However, there was no clear description or photo to confirm his appearance. Therefore, it was impossible to determine whether Li Shiming was handsome or not.
