Looking for Growth-Oriented, Study-Grind Novels That Make You Want to Hit the Books
Please, no golden finger that lets the protagonist get perfect scores without trying. It can be about a poor student turning things around, or a top student from the start. I want a hardworking, determined, inspiring female lead. The male lead can be there or not, I don't mind. Please!

Qing Dynasty Transmigration Story with Fourth Prince Yinzhen as the Male Lead
The heroine can have a pocket dimension, but no cultivation. Something like a Qing Dynasty transmigration story, for example The Imperial Noble Consort's Path to Promotion.

As the saying goes, history is written by the victors. Treat characters objectively and have your own opinions. If you were one of them, could you do better? History has passed, but what cannot be overcome is history!
As far as the text is concerned, it is nothing more than the autobiography of a colonialist royalist. But fortunately, the appendices and bibliography notes of this book are much higher than the main text, allowing us to better understand the last story of the last emperor and the Forbidden City during that time period. Worth recommending.
Everyone's life has historical limitations, no judgment. He is also a great person who dares to write books that challenge the foundation of the Western world, but he has never been able to get rid of the shackles of theology in his life. History is written by the victors. If the fascists had won World War II, Johnston would also be admired by future generations. The author was lucky that he was not assassinated during the court struggle. After all, the author is a foreigner with the British Empire behind him, and the Qing court was afraid of it.
It's good, but there are some repetitions.
The story of Johnston and Puyi reminds me of my own experience of pursuing true love. That kind of persistence and persistence is really touching. Moreover, the historical details in the book are also very rich, and it feels like traveling back to that era. I think this book is not only a record of history, but also a profound depiction of human nature and emotions. I must recommend it to my friends so that they can also experience this special history and emotion.
I like this kind of work that records history and needs to be authentic.
Looking at China from a foreigner's perspective is worth reading.
A very objective book
The descriptions of those who have experienced it, although they have personal limitations, provide a good perspective.
Rich content, real and nice to listen to
