High-Quality Stories About Transmigrating to Ancient Times
1. Someone transmigrates to ancient times and gradually conquers the world. Good writing, and it must be complete. 2. Someone transmigrates to ancient times. Everyone else thinks he's a stubborn young master, but he's actually been plotting ahead to protect himself and his family, eventually swallowing up the whole world. 3. Something like *Changsheng Bu...*
No Female Lead!! Truly No Female Lead, No Romance, Read Carefully!!
Don’t recommend ongoing stories with heroines. If a story isn’t finished and doesn’t say it has no heroine, ask the author whether there is one first. For "I Became Invincible After Rejecting the System", the author said it has one heroine, so absolutely do not recommend it. The requester really will get mad.

Any Historical Dynasty Is Fine, as Long as There Is No Romance, No Male Lead, or No Female Lead
Please, everyone! I've recently fallen in love with stories about transmigrating into historical dynasties, but so many protagonists lose their minds over every woman they see. It's so annoying. Please recommend a story with no romance, set in any dynasty. I'm begging you! Thank you, thank you! 🙏🙏🙏🙏

I like his father, this indigenous man. He's not perfect, but he's very resilient at times. More than the protagonist, I'm looking forward to seeing where the protagonist's father will end up.
Hahaha, this is the first time I've seen a male lead who's like a troublemaker, so adorable! The author's writing is great, keep it up, there aren't enough of them. There are many protagonists who start as children, but this little male lead is the cutest, hahaha. His family members are all fun and unique, and there's even a sister who's desperately trying to learn embroidery—so hilarious! The writing is vivid, the imagery is strong, and the author's character development skills are top-notch.
This is a particularly enjoyable farming novel about a scholar preparing for the imperial examinations, completely different from other such stories. The plot develops very well, and although it includes some everyday family matters, it's far from being just a fluffy, sentimental read. Highly recommended! I hope the author updates soon! 👍👍👍👍👍
It's a great watch, with minor flaws that don't detract from its overall quality. The storyline is quite engaging, but the vocabulary could be richer. The repeated phrases "photographic memory" and "gazed at him speechlessly" could be replaced with other descriptions, as these few phrases kept popping into my head throughout the entire listen. They were speechless, and I was utterly speechless, speechless, speechless 😅
I found it well-written. Whether it's the handling of the imperial examination system or other aspects, it teaches a lot of knowledge. The male protagonist and his father are both very intelligent, and his family members don't hold them back.
It's quite good. The daily lives of the male lead and his father and brothers are also very interesting. What I find most objectionable in this type of story is the protagonist impersonating a scholar by using the poems from the Three Hundred Tang Poems. Although the author can't write poetry, they didn't have the male lead use other ancient poets' poems to show off.
Ha! Ha! Ha! So satisfying! It's perfect for impatient people like me... It's not long-winded, the story moves quickly, there are no annoying idiots, no amnesia, no misunderstandings, and the male lead is very good at seducing people 🤦 Of course, the male lead's family is also very hardworking and listens to advice, and there's also an emperor who loves money but trusts his subordinates.
It feels quite realistic, and the protagonist's overpowered abilities are acceptable—not the typical spoiled rich kid from a rural family. It's a great read, not the ridiculous kind where the protagonist dreams of a divine grandfather. The daily life in the rural setting isn't boring either. I think the characters are very well-developed. Author, please keep updating! [Please update more!] I won't miss a single chapter! 💕💕
It's quite good. It helps the country achieve unification without being betrayed by the emperor, and the relationship between the ruler and his ministers is harmonious. Also, the female lead that some people were hoping for wasn't included in the main story; the epilogue resolves that issue—a single female lead! 😂
It's very well written, especially for people like us who don't like romance. It's mostly pure, enjoyable reading. There aren't any major flaws. When reading the comments, some people act like they've never seen a woman before. They call every female character "sister-in-law." I'm at my wit's end.
