No System, please. Ideally, the protagonist keeps a low profile and builds up their strength early on.
Only Single-Female-Lead Stories, No Harem
Only one heroine, only one heroine, only one heroine. I'm saying it three times because it's important. No romantic ambiguity; I want a committed relationship. I'm so sick of harem stories these days.

Historical Fiction: No Nonsense Allowed
It doesn’t have to be completely historically accurate, but at least don’t make it ridiculous. I want power struggles and political maneuvering that make sense. People shouldn’t just get confused all the time and believe the protagonist at first sight. The language doesn’t need to be perfectly period-appropriate, but please don’t throw in internet slang and memes at every turn.
The Ming, Song, and Tang Dynasties
Are there really no stories about the Liao, Jin, Yuan-Mongol, Dali, and Tubo? Is it because there aren't enough sources or historical records? Did we all have different textbooks in our nine years of compulsory education? Do I have to look up local gazetteers?

I'm in a Reading Slump. Why Do So Many Stories Start Strong and Then Go Downhill?
I'd like to read something like "Highway Survival: The Pinker the Car, the Harder It Hits (Head for the End of the Road)". I'm out of things to read. Why does everything start strong and then fall off now? Little Junior Brother was righteous to a fault, but got bought out by the capitalists. "The Broken Her" in the high-martial-arts genre has lost its readers, the number of people urging updates for "Gu Immortal" is dropping, and that streamer is just out to milk everyone for money...

They seem similar to me. On the surface, they're lazy and easygoing, getting along well with everyone, but in reality, they plan ten steps ahead for every one they take. Their meticulousness far surpasses that of their peers. I've never lacked ruthless methods nor a compassionate heart. I have both Buddha and demon within me, but I've deeply sealed away the demon, leaving only Buddha.
It's good. I hope there will be more exciting and novel perspectives later on. Although it is a relatively traditional historical novel, it is straightforward and straightforward, without any cheat codes. The difficulties of ordinary people in their careers are realistically portrayed, making it very immersive.
Chapter Fifty-Six: A Record. Having read Tang and Ming dynasties before, this is my first time reading about the Song dynasty, and it's quite good. Aside from the princess's somewhat rushed portrayal of affection—it feels like a spoiled brat trying to steal someone else's wife. The street murder scene is alright if you see it as a prelude to the Crown Prince's case.
With a heart for the world and kindness in our hearts, this is the kind of life we should all live. This book is among the best time-travel historical novels I've ever read. The author is new, so the writing style may not be perfect, but the emotions are genuine. The protagonist's personality is very much to my liking.
Five-star review! I don't know much about Song Dynasty figures, but I was very excited reading this, so it should be a comfortable read for a complete beginner. What moved me about this book was its blend of action and exhilarating moments; the complex and captivating twists and turns, along with the protagonist's admirable chivalry, righteousness, loyalty, and courtesy, all contributed to its…
It's quite good. The author's writing is excellent, and their understanding of history is quite thorough, with good explanations. Unlike traditional historical novels where the author seems to know almost nothing about history, this one demonstrates considerable historical knowledge. It's set in the Northern Song Dynasty, and the princess's character is well-developed.
The characters are three-dimensional and relatable, the plot is clear and logical, and the writing style is good. As a reader, I haven't seen such a enjoyable historical novel in a long time, especially the line "The nation has nurtured scholars for 150 years, and today is the day to uphold righteousness and die for justice." The word to describe it is "satisfying." It's worth reading.
It's alright. The beginning and the end are pretty good, but there's a really toxic part in the middle. I suggest skipping the part where the protagonist does something heroic.
How do I write it like a female-oriented novel? [What?]
The book is well-organized, rich in historical materials, includes homophones for uncommon characters, provides dates for various historical events, and vividly portrays the relationship between Zhao Weirou and the protagonist. It truly achieves a balance between time travel and meticulousness, subtlety and humor.
