    The first book is about time travel + a woman disguises herself as a man + no CP. The characters are very vivid, not black and white. The protagonist is not stupid and cool, and he took the imperial examination to enter the officialdom. Personally, I feel that the love between monarch and subject, the love between colleagues, the love between master and disciple, and the family love in it are more touching for readers, whether it is good or bad. It is also the most recommended book among the two. The second book is also about time travel, and it mainly talks about the love between brother and sister. Wearing a dandy from an aristocratic family, the protagonist makes a small plan to help his brother in order to live a successful life. It is not a fool's errand. As for whether there is CP, my personal feeling is not much different from without CP, except for the extras. If you don't mind, you don't have to watch it (it's also a woman dressing up as a man)

    Food Guide 1. A non-traditional Machiavellian novel with dual male and female protagonists. The female protagonist and the male protagonist each have their own strengths, and both have some historical figures as references. The female protagonist is a civil servant and the male protagonist is a military commander. Both of them have strong abilities in their respective fields. 2. There is no competition between females and males [there will be no vicious female supporting characters, or affectionate male protagonists]. Each character in the show has his or her own partner, and every girl will have her own shining point. There are no scenes of house fighting and women framing each other. There will only be a struggle for interests in the power arena. Women can also rely on the imperial examination to become officials and enter women's schools. Restore the party struggle in ancient officialdom as much as possible. 3. Focus on the career line and weak on emotional drama. The heroine is hot on the outside and cold on the inside, and doesn't trust anyone easily. The male protagonist is calm, but he actually has a lot of jealous tricks. The female protagonist is career-minded, and business and self-interest are more important than personal emotions. Her attitude towards the male protagonist has also changed from one-sided use to liking. The male protagonist is also career-minded. He has a crush on the female protagonist in the early stage, but later on, he and the female protagonist gradually develop into a double arrow. 4. Most of the settings in this article refer to the political pattern of the middle and late Tang Dynasty, with the four eunuchs in power, and the eunuchs, the central government, and the feudal towns competing for profits. Some of the content in the article is relatively sophisticated, but there may be errors and omissions. There will be places in the text where the book bag is dropped ~ for example, classical Chinese appears. 5. The male and female protagonists have sexual intercourse with both parties before marriage.

    The first half of the story where the heroine decides a case for an official is very well written, and the writing style is quite good. However, a friendly reminder, some of the characters are very ex (from the beginning), and in the later stages, the heroine becomes very intelligent and becomes a virgin. It is worth watching but it will be discontinued. [Facepalm] To be honest, I want to give a seal for the writing and plot, but except for the male protagonist, I want to give 15 points for the other characters. I only want to give 2 points.
