Xuan Yi (English name: Xuan Yi) is a Chinese-language author whose nationality, dates of birth and death, and other personal details are unknown; publicly available information is limited. Judging from the works currently on record, Xuan Yi writes alternate-history fiction set against the backdrop of the Three Kingdoms period. Two of the author's works are included in the library: Romance of the Three Kingdoms: Liu Bei's Military Advisor and Romance of the Three Kingdoms: The Great Hero. Both are categorized as premium fiction, alternate history, and fiction for male readers, indicating that Xuan Yi's writing centers on borrowing Three Kingdoms figures and historical frameworks for imaginative storytelling aimed at readers who enjoy historical themes and male-oriented narratives. Xuan Yi is skilled at introducing new identities and relationships into established historical threads, giving familiar Three Kingdoms stories different directions, and the works combine historical atmosphere with alternate-history appeal. Because the available material is limited, a full picture of the author's writing has yet to emerge, but even these two works show a sustained engagement with, and preference for, the alternate-history genre.
