   All three books about the Ming Dynasty are rated 9.0 Or higher. I highly recommend the first one. The protagonist transmigrates into the body of the grandson of Emperor Wanshou. He saves Hai Rui, protects Hu Zongxian, fights Gao Gong and Xu Jie, and confronts Zhang Juzheng. You might think he's young and naive, but you're sorely mistaken. In fact, everyone has been fooled by him.
