😋I recommend the following two historical novels:
"Heaven's Treasure" and "Evil Tang." The former was a light-hearted and funny story about Emperor Ming of the Tang Dynasty, Yang Guifei, and many other historical figures, while the latter depicted the political struggle of the Tang Dynasty with a villain returning to the eve of the An Lushan Rebellion as a clue. Both novels are very interesting and very suitable for the historical theme of Emperor Tang Ming that you like. I hope these recommendations can enrich your reading time in your spare time.
There's also 'Redeeming Love' by Francine Rivers. Sometimes it can be found for free on certain websites. It's a retelling of the story of Hosea set in the 1850s California Gold Rush, with a strong Christian message and a beautiful love story.
