Behind-the-Scenes Stories, but Don’t Let Them Turn into Ensemble-Cast Stories
I want a behind-the-scenes story told from the protagonist's perspective, not one where the protagonist works behind the scenes while we see the world through minor characters.

Super good! The latest chapter 46 really made me cry. At first, it was just a wife the protagonist found to cover up his immortality, and I always thought she was just an unimportant character. But in this chapter, her sudden death from lung disease—no long explanation, just her abrupt demise—showed a change in the protagonist's mindset.
A good novel, even veteran readers can enjoy it. Here are some suggestions for the author: The protagonist could have more skills. With such a long and arduous journey to immortality, more interests would prevent boredom. He could learn fishing, gardening, medicine, chess, etc.
The longevity formula is very good, but it's best to kill the mites first, otherwise adding so much will be a waste!
It's well-written, told in a gentle, unhurried style, suitable for seasoned readers. However, I'm a little curious. The protagonist and Emperor Renzong seem to complement each other perfectly, but his immortality will inevitably be discovered sooner or later. While Emperor Renzong is known for his magnanimity, Zhu Zhanji is no pushover. Will the author cook and eat the protagonist? How will the author handle the aftermath?
It's a very good historical novel, but I personally only recommend reading up to chapter 279. By then, the Ming Dynasty had already achieved "open trade." Up to this stage, it's still within the realm of historical fiction. Basically, the protagonist is the only one with extraordinary abilities. Internal energy is mentioned, but his role is small and his portrayal is only average.
The author has written it very well. Take the perspective of a transmigrator, for example. Initially, he doesn't integrate into the world, passively observing the changing times. He continuously grows stronger. Later, he marries, and although there's little affection, his wife's death is still a blow. He doesn't lose his human emotions, after all, immortality is a curse.
From beginning to end, the author portrayed a capable and loyal minister. It was only after reading this that I understood how the Ming Dynasty fell. Emperor Chongzhen was completely deceived, which is probably why the Ming Dynasty heavily relied on treacherous officials who were loyal to the emperor during its later years.
It's so beautiful! Show it all to me, don't let me be the only one who gets to taste this! 🙂
The storylines involving the protagonist's wife and the fat emperor evoked strong emotions in me; it was quite enjoyable, but unfortunately, they were only briefly mentioned. The scene with the emperor calling for the gate was also quite good. The rest of the characters are as ruthless as the protagonist. I'll continue watching.
Upon closer inspection, it's actually quite interesting. It's not as exciting or thrilling as those monster-slaying, level-up, and face-slapping novels, but it has its own unique charm. It's not entirely devoid of excitement, but the beginning, with its constant procrastination, is indeed a bit boring. It gets much more interesting once you become a high-ranking official. If you're looking for pure, satisfying reading, or if you lack patience, then this isn't for you.
