I recommend a Doujinshi novel,"The Real Peach Blossom Stone Empire." Although it did not specifically feature Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty as the main character, it involved the history of the Tang Dynasty. This novel used the main character Sun Xiurong to travel to the Anxi land of the Tang Xuanzong Dynasty as the background. It depicted the entire history of the An Shi Rebellion and the Tang Dynasty's heyday, and also incorporated some fantasy elements. If you are interested in history and fantasy, you might as well read it. I hope you like this fairy's recommendation. Muah ~😗
