Looking for Books About the Song Dynasty!!!
I remember a great book, but I've forgotten the title. The gist is that the male lead gets taken away by the Black and White Impermanence before he actually dies. He gets a job in the underworld, where he helps emperors from history let go of their resentment. The first person he helps is Zhao from the Song dynasty...

Book Recommendations: New Releases
Looking for books similar to Otherworldly Fragment: Creation Art. It's a good read and written pretty well, though there are a few typos. It probably wasn't proofread.

This is a mature way of thinking. If there is no golden finger, just adapt to local conditions. I always feel that I can dominate the protagonist of the ancient dynasty through time travel. Purely in the second and late period
If you read this review before reading this book, I think this book is quite good. I saw that he had just taken the position and then assigned his brother a temple title. The whole process was very in line with the rules, but in the process it showed both ability (not the same cookie-cutter winemaking and steelmaking) and means (not feeling aggrieved). Meat and vegetable evaluation: Unlike Shuangwen and Liu Beiwen, this article reads more like a cup of tea. Some comments say that some of the chapters are watery, but if you read this novel from the perspective of drinking a cup of tea, you won't feel this way. After reading it, well, I feel, emmm, it doesn't sound very user-friendly.
It is rare that it does not overly look down on the ancients with modern eyes, nor does it redundantly add any love descriptions that it is not good at. The modern and ancient souls blend very softly and finally form a stable protagonist's personality.
Overall, it looks good, but the volume is small, but it's not easy to say much. After all, he wrote it and I read it [laughing] He definitely can't keep up with me 😏. Maintain the standard, read more information, write slowly, and don't mix in some weird things. It still has the potential to be popular. I'm optimistic about you [please take a closer look]
Update soon! Good grass. In most cases, the situation at that time in the Song Dynasty has been restored. The data and the like are also relatively accurate. The same goes for the descriptions of Zhao Xu and others. It seems to be harmless at the moment. Not bad, not bad
The writing is smooth, the plot is exciting, and the male protagonist is precise and realistic, making the rusty and decaying Song Dynasty step by step onto a prosperous track. It is an excellent time-travel novel about the history of the Song Dynasty. Five-star praise, thank you to the author!
This type of time-travel historical novel is really interesting. Does anyone have a copy of the same type?
Very good. Although the portrayal of Zhao Ji is too outrageous, the story is told very well. Emperor Zhezong and the protagonist are portrayed very clearly.
Although I understand that politics is the art of compromise, it is still too uncomfortable to watch. After the protagonist successfully ascends to the throne, it is still very difficult to push forward something. Creating a new policy requires at least several detours. It is frustrating to watch people die. Although it is indeed very real, well... Come on, author, overall it is good.
After reading so many Song Dynasty books, this one is the best. It's not brainless, although there are a few small flaws that can be accepted. Unlike others that fight against the sky, the earth, and the air, the emperor is a general charging forward, and I am speechless. I support the author 👍 👍 👍 👍 👍 👍 👍 👍 👍 👍 👍
