Meticulously Researched Historical Fiction
A twisting, suspenseful plot, a protagonist who's not an idiot, and something I can learn from while reading. Ideally, it should be close to real history.

The protagonist and the emperor are brothers, and the protagonist wields immense power. Everyday comedy.

Are there stories where a modern person transmigrates back to ancient times and uses their profession to make a difference? Like a doctor who transmigrates to the past and advances medicine within the limits of the era, or a modern special forces expert who transmigrates to ancient times and builds an army using modern ideas. Or just invent penicillin or something. From the start, they pull out an AK-47.

The author writes well! After reading so many novels about the Ming Dynasty, yours is a breath of fresh air.
Don't be fooled by the low rating; it's genuinely good. I haven't read such a good historical novel in a long time. The last time I read something this good was...
Personally, I think it's excellent and I really love it. The only regret is the relationship between U. A. High and Nana. Anyway, this book is super good, I love it so much, especially when Nana dies later on, I couldn't control my tears and my face.
It was fantastic, but I wasn't entirely satisfied with the ending!
Honestly, this is the most carefully read and best novel I've ever read. 😢
The beginning has been good so far, and if it continues at this level, it will become popular. The author has put a lot of effort into including complete poems and some content from the Four Books and Five Classics.
Excellent. The beginning is unremarkable, but the later part uses the friendship between the protagonist and Zhu Xiong Ying as a central thread. Everything the protagonist does and all his schemes are for Xiong Ying's sake, making their friendship very touching. This book primarily focuses on emotions, and many of the characters are remarkably loyal and devoted.
It's good. When the protagonist was a child, he ate a peach 🍑 and the peach pit turned into a small bell. From then on, he dreamed of reading books and began to show his genius. However, this peach 🍑 was shared by the eight siblings. Why didn't we see the others show their talents?
A great book, the author is highly educated, and the writing is both rigorous and humorous. With my limited knowledge, I can only give it a thumbs up! MD really suffered from commenting too early.
After reading so many fast-paced, exciting novels, I was quite moved by this slow-paced one. The author's writing style is also quite good, very delicate, and the characters are well-developed. It's just that the updates are a bit slow. [Top post][Requesting more updates]
