What are some good novels based on real people?

Li Ling's novel The Son of Heaven, which is based on true stories, is one of my favorite novels so far. The prototype of the novel revolves around Shunzhi in history and the people around him. Here, we see the contradictory and promising the emperor shunzhi, Xiao Zhuang, who is always in conflict with his son for the sake of his son, the ruined Borzijit Banner as a Horqin aristocrat, Tong Jiashi, the biological mother of Kangxi, and Wu Yunzhu, who has been haunting Shunzhi's heart, all are the prototypes of Dong Hubei Princess. This novel won the third Contradictory Literature Award and was later adapted into a TV series, but today we mainly talk about this novel.

The hero of this novel is Shunzhi, who ascended the throne at a young age and was the first emperor after entering the Qing Dynasty. When the world mentions Shunzhi, most people will think that he has been troubled by love all his life. However, although there is a love story between him and Dong E Fei in this novel, it is more about his political ambition and his ideal of wanting a Manchu family.

There is a special contradiction in Shunzhi in the novel. He likes China culture wholeheartedly, but he can't get the support of the world. The minister opposed him, his mother opposed him, and the concubines in the harem did not understand him. Only his brother-in-law Wu Yunzhu, Bogor's wife, understood him. But the person who knows him best has married his wife, and this other person is his favorite brother Bogor, so Shunzhi is very contradictory. In the novel, Shunzhi's inner pain, anxiety and contradiction are vividly displayed.

The same Wu Yunzhu always admired Shunzhi, but had to marry Bogor. This relationship adds a lot of contradictions to the novel, which makes readers want to read it more and more, and has an immersive feeling. Similarly, the description of this novel is also wonderful. Her behavior is perverse but beautiful and generous, and she loves Shunzhi deeply. Her words: If there is a next life, I want to live to be a woman like Dong E Fei, which also makes readers feel distressed.
