   The first book, in my opinion, is Tomato's masterpiece. The protagonist is Zhu Yunwen, the grandson of the Ming Dynasty emperor. The character is vividly portrayed, and the writing is very meticulous with no major flaws. The second book is about the Tang Dynasty and Li Shimin's lost eldest son. It has many tear-jerking moments, and I've already read it three times.

    Reader note

    The first book is relatively historically accurate, with a more lighthearted plot. The second and third books are by the same author, which I quite enjoyed. They both tell the story of a fallen monarch, reforms, revitalization, and eventual revival. The fourth book is one I read before; it's written by Tomato and is considered quite good, but not many people are familiar with it, and the ending is bittersweet. The fifth and sixth books don't need much introduction. The fifth book is a masterpiece that shouldn't be on Tomato's page; its quality would be excellent even on Qidian. The author of the sixth book previously wrote a very successful book on Qidian; this is his new book on Tomato after years of honing his skills. It has a feel for the ups and downs of officialdom and features very detailed descriptions of the characters. I recommend it to seasoned readers. In summary, the first four books are more accessible to a wider audience, while the last two are recommended for seasoned readers to savor.

    The first book is about transmigrating into the Ming Dynasty as the war god Li Jinglong. This time, no one will speak ill of me; I will make everyone respectfully call me "Duke." The writing is excellent, and the author, God Thief Million, guarantees the novel is complete, so you can follow it with confidence. The second book is about transmigrating into the Three Kingdoms period. Originally, I wanted to assist Liu Bei in rebuilding the Han Dynasty, but unexpectedly, despite offering advice and making countless contributions, I still couldn't compare to Zhuge Liang, the Crouching Dragon. I was framed by him and had no choice but to join Cao Cao. This time, Liu Bei, you are doomed! (System novel). The author's writing is excellent. The third book is about transmigrating into the Ming Dynasty as Li Chengqian. I originally wanted to endure... I was waiting for a peaceful ascension to the throne, but unexpectedly, Li Er suddenly died. What am I to do? Foreign tribes harbor rebellious intentions? Then I'll fight them until they fear me. The aristocratic families are restless? Then I'll test the sharpness of my sword. I will forge the strongest dynasty in history! (This is from a novel, part 4, titled "The Most Stable Crown Prince in History," where the author writes: My father was the most stable crown prince in history, my mother was the legitimate daughter of a duke, my grandfather was the Hongwu Emperor who started with a bowl, ended the Yuan dynasty, and founded the Ming dynasty. And I am the most stable imperial grandson. I will make the Ming dynasty stand at the pinnacle of the world.")
