   🍑🍑🍑This is seriously super super super good! I love reading it! It's a dual male lead novel. The protagonist, Meng Wan, transmigrates to ancient times and becomes a young man, a servant to a young lady. Apparently, the original owner seduced the young lady's husband and was sold to a slave trader, then resold to a woman surnamed Song to become the husband of her son, Song Tingzhou. At first, Song Tingzhou disagreed, but after falling in love, they got engaged. Song Tingzhou was trying to pass the imperial examinations, but someone interfered and he failed three times. Meng Wan first helped Song's mother sell tofu, then fried dough sticks, fried cakes, and twisted dough sticks to earn some money. When Song Tingzhou took the exam for the fourth time, Meng Wan suggested they go together. They are currently on their way to the exam. Overall, it's very well written. I recommend the author to update soon! I love reading it!

   [First Book] Excellent writing, novel setting, extremely rigorous logic, dramatic plot, both male and female leads are intelligent and full of witty remarks; definitely worth reading. [Second and Third Books] Both are transmigration novels featuring a female doctor. June is very skilled at writing this genre, and these are quite novel. The second book features a transmigration with a futuristic medical system and an AI-powered android assistant; the third is about a neuroscientist who transmigrates, later unlocking supernatural abilities through brain development—super exciting! [Fourth Book] Dark realism, rigorous logic; the female lead forges a path to survival in ancient times, scheming her way to the throne. [Fifth Book] Shamelessly promoting its female lead: the Insect Queen of the Spirit Realm, who can understand insect language, commands all insects, and can transform ordinary insects into spirit insects with supernatural powers (such as shrinking, freezing water, and invulnerability). These spirit insects can even cultivate human form. The Insect Queen transmigrates into an impoverished young lady in ancient times, marrying a sickly eunuch in place of her elder sister for a marriage of convenience. The male lead is decisive and ruthless, the female lead is intelligent but not a saint, and the male lead falls deeply in love with the female lead later on (because he was poisoned and aged prematurely in the early stages, 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 this story 🙏 Thank you! (The male lead is a true eunuch in the early stages but pretends to be one later.)

    The first book was absolutely amazing! The second one was a fantasy set in ancient Chinese style, with a bit of angst. The third one, featuring a crazy, beautiful male lead, was also good—an ancient Chinese romance with fantasy elements.

    ① A modern mercenary transmigrates to ancient Rome and rebels. The plot is reasonable and very well-written, but there aren't many ratings, so there isn't one. [Smirk][Learned] ② This book is truly excellent, I've been following it since the author started writing. It tells the story of a college student who transmigrates to a parallel world, becomes a prince overseas, and eventually returns to his homeland to unify Asia. It's very good.

    Reader note

    Time-travel novels are all lies. There are no princes or domineering CEOs falling in love with you, no cheat codes that let you dominate the world, and no fairy tales of "independent women rising up in ancient times"—especially when you transmigrate as a woman in the Great Yong Dynasty. Others transmigrate as empresses/princesses, you transmigrate as a "short-haired monster," with a survival rate lower than your family's old ox; others use modern knowledge to invent and make big money, you teach peasant women "washing hands to prevent plague," and get pinned down in the mud and cursed for "cursing people to die"; others meet a male lead who is their "only light," you meet a scholar in a blue robe, Shen Yanzhi—he first squats down to listen to you talk about "gender equality," his eyes shining like stars; then he turns around and burns your writing "women's literacy is not a mistake," saying, "Behave yourself, don't cause me trouble." Those "face-slapping" and "love redemption" stories you're tired of? This story is riddled with holes—leaking only the raw, bloody truth: What you perceive as "cleverness" is "unfaithfulness"; what you insist on as "right and wrong" is "self-destruction"; the person you desperately try to help will eventually kneel down and advise you: "Women, just bear with it, it's the same in every family." Warning: This isn't time travel; it's stripping away the real skin of time travel novels—no satisfying moments, no male protagonist redemption, just a modern soul slowly being drowned in the mire of the Song Dynasty. If you're tired of pretentious and empty time travel stories and want to see how painful "real time travel" is—if you dare click in, don't be afraid of the pain.
