    I highly recommend this one: "The Skilled Warrior Has No Famous Name." It's a story of everyday life for ordinary officials and commoners in a county town. Exquisite details and a stark depiction of human nature transport you to the bustling streets of the Song Dynasty a thousand years ago. It's not a wish-fulfillment novel, but it has its emotional moments. It's not about political intrigue, but it captures the essence of human relationships. There are no romantic pairings, no cheat codes, and no modern-day superiority complexes—it's a hyper-realistic ancient Chinese novel. It's almost a million words long, well-developed and ready to read. Weaknesses: Slow-paced, not a wish-fulfillment novel, no romantic pairings, relatively uneven plot development, and some chapters are too detailed. Impatient readers should avoid it.

    This book is highly recommended. Also known as *The Ming Dynasty: I Really Just Want to Lie Down*, *Hongwu: Your Majesty, I'm Ill*, *The Ming Dynasty's Chief Physician*, and *The Ming Dynasty's King of the Sea*. Zhang Wuxian, a 36-year-old failed entrepreneur, transmigrates to the eleventh year of the Hongwu Emperor's reign, becoming a 20-year-old spirited young man. He initially wanted to live a carefree, easy life, but his severe obsessive-compulsive disorder prevented him from seeing anything "unreasonable"—wrong grain prices had to be changed, backward medical care had to be changed, the army had to be changed, and even if the Ming Dynasty didn't conquer the world, it had to be changed. Even more absurdly, he has a system in his head that automatically provides solutions and resources whenever his obsessive-compulsive disorder flares up, free of charge. Thus—he saves the critically ill Crown Princess Chang, and Chang Yuchun's daughter survives; he vaccinates the eldest grandson, Zhu Xiong Ying, who should have died at eight, and the child is alive and kicking; he saves Empress Ma from critical illness by administering intravenous fluids, and Zhu Yuanzhang's beloved woman lives for another twenty years; he diagnoses Zhu Biao's terminal illness in advance, ensuring the future emperor of the Ming Dynasty doesn't die young. With these four men alive, the history of the Ming Dynasty was completely rewritten—the Jianwen Emperor was gone, the Jingnan Rebellion was over, and the Lan Yu case was a thing of the past. Empress Ma adopted him as her godson, calling him "this is my son" to everyone she met; Zhu Biao and Zhu Di addressed him as brothers, one calling him "my virtuous brother" and the other "brother-in-law"; Xu Da offered his daughter in marriage to him, making him the son-in-law of the Duke of Wei; Lan Yu regarded him as his savior, even taking a knife for him in court. Zhu Yuanzhang patted him on the shoulder and said, "The most diligent person I've ever met is you." Zhang Wuxian replied tearfully, "Your Majesty, I'm not diligent... I'm ill!" Later, he led Zheng He to conquer the Iwami Silver Mine, crossed the Pacific Ocean to discover the Americas, and planted the Ming Dynasty's flag all over the world. On the day the Ming Dynasty unified the world, he could finally retire. But a tree in the courtyard was planted crookedly...
