I hope authors of historical romance novels understand this: there were no modern internet slang and phrases like "scumbag male lead," "pure white lotus female lead," "calmly complaining," "taking the blame," or "gossiping about three little trolls" in ancient times! Before writing historical romance, please understand the ancient etiquette and regulations, and don't force feminist ideas onto ancient women just to cater to the trend of female empowerment! Those writing about time-traveling women can refer to the "Bound Spring Love" (缚春情) style! If you don't understand anything, then honestly include the "completely fictional" tag in the synopsis to warn readers who value logic! Some authors are so good at fudges that they don't even bother to stitch properly just to make money. No matter how much they study *Dream of the Red Chamber* or copy countless poems, their poor literary foundation and knowledge are still evident… Also, the protagonist's appearance and attire are described at length every time they appear, and the male lead's eyes are always dark, and the corners of his mouth are always barely upturned… Please, authors, stop with the pretentious descriptions of demeanor and focus on the intricate schemes and strategies!

Lifting her veil and stepping down from the sedan chair, before she could even utter "I want to annul the engagement," she heard that the joyous occasion at the Marquis of Wuding's mansion had turned into tragedy. The powerful Marquis of Wuding had been assassinated in the wedding hall? The bride was not married, and a life was lost. The destruction of the Qi family had only just begun. Those stained with the blood of the Jiang family would not escape. Meng Yan, who was secretly plotting, felt that this young woman had changed after her rebirth. For the past twelve years, spent together in the Mirror of Rebirth, she had always been virtuous and courteous. Why was she now constantly shouting for violence? However, seeing the triumphant smile on her bright and generous face, he thought that taking her back as the Crown Princess might not be so bad. Thus, Meng Yan, taking on the name of Cui Shiyan, the notorious playboy of the capital, stood boldly at the gate of the Jiang family before Jiang Yule had even broken off her engagement with the Marquis of Wuding's family, and declared passionately, "Cui Shiyan, the youngest son of the Cui family, seeks to marry Jiang Yule, the third young lady of the Jiang family.

I felt the first book was much better than *Spring Banquet*. *Spring Banquet* had some flaws and unresolved plot points; the female lead, though a princess, felt somewhat aggrieved, even failing to get her dowry back when it was less than promised. *Bound by Spring*, on the other hand, is truly exceptional among historical romance novels. Every detail is captivating, the logic is flawless, and it truly captures the intrigue of ancient times. Every word and action is meticulously considered. It's excellent, with a particularly engaging plot. No supporting characters are incompetent, and the protagonist is both capable and believable. The second book features a female lead who travels from the Republican era to modern times. The logic is impeccable, and everything is resolved by the end. The plot unfolds gradually, with a fresh and engaging storyline, making it a worthwhile read.

In short, these are all books you absolutely won't regret reading! [Book 1] tells the story of a modern, high-IQ office worker who transmigrates into a time-traveling, face-slapping, satisfying novel. The female lead initially tries to win over the original female lead, but then discovers the tyrannical villain is also a transmigrator. The pacing is tight, with various plot twists, and it's incredibly hilarious. The writing is excellent, with both laughs and tears—definitely worth reading! [Book 2] The original female lead was a loyal orphan whose family had squandered her entire fortune, and she was framed and killed by a scumbag. The female lead is the head of a future medical bureau, and she transmigrates into the body of the original female lead with an advanced medical system and an AI android assistant. The plot is full of twists and turns, and both the male and female leads are strong. The female lead is intelligent, clear about her grudges, and not a saint. The male lead is also rich, handsome, smart, and devoted. The robot assistant is especially cute and silly, and the revenge plot is incredibly satisfying. Overall, another book you won't regret reading! [Book 3] By the same author as Book 2, this is one of the author's early masterpieces. It's also a transmigration novel about a doctor and his consort, but the female lead is a neuroscientist. However, the male lead initially hated the original female lead so much that he treated the transmigrated female lead extremely badly (he later reformed and became a devoted husband). While the premise is logically sound, many readers automatically project modern values ​​and can't accept the male lead's early behavior. Therefore, if you can't accept it, it's safer to read the second book. It's very well-written; later, the female lead and her child's brains are developed, and they even gain superpowers. Overall, it's incredibly exciting. [The fourth book] is a bit more fantasy-oriented, and most fans of ancient romance novels have probably read it. The female lead suffers terribly in the early stages, having her beast essence extracted and her beast egg stolen. Fortunately, she gets revenge later, which is incredibly satisfying. The male lead is strong and handsome (a bit of a yandere), and the female lead isn't a saint, making it easy to read. [The fifth book] is a dark and realistic story. The female lead transmigrates from a wasteland with a mechanical arm, and it tells the story of how she carves out her own free kingdom in a backward feudal era and ascends to the throne as empress. The beginning is particularly difficult, but it gets better and better later on. The female lead is not a saint and is quite intelligent. However, several of her older sisters have had very tragic experiences, so please read with caution if you mind. (The male lead hasn't appeared yet, so it's unknown if he will appear.) [Sixth Book] Finally, I'd like to recommend my recent work. The female lead is the Insect Queen of the Spirit Realm. She can understand insect language, and all insects obey her commands. She can transform ordinary insects into spirit insects with supernatural powers (such as changing size, freezing water into ice, and becoming invulnerable to weapons). These spirit insects can even cultivate human form. The Insect Queen transmigrates into the body of a fallen noblewoman in ancient times, marrying a sickly eunuch in place of her elder sister to bring her good fortune. The male lead is decisive and ruthless, the female lead is intelligent but not a saint. The male lead falls deeply in love with the female lead later on (because he was poisoned and aged prematurely, but the female lead stayed by his side [actually for money]). The female lead's spirit insects are incredibly powerful. If you're interested, please support her! 🙏 Thank you! [The male lead is a true eunuch in the early stages, but pretends to be one later.] [Seventh Book] I suddenly remembered another male-oriented masterpiece that girls can also read. The author used to write female-oriented novels, and the romance is exceptionally well-written: *The Mysterious City of Beasts*. If you're looking for something to read, check it out!

In the novels I've read, it's said that the Black Phoenix Empress is definitely on par with Xi Hua Zhi.

A definite strong female lead with brains. Very enjoyable; I finished reading it years ago. Highly recommended!

The second book features a female general who drowns in a frozen lake due to a conspiracy. Reborn, she is tasked with slaying treacherous officials and avenging her past grievances…
