    Reader note

    The first book is a time-travel novel; the protagonist possesses divinity and power, but has the heart of a mortal. The second book is by Sanjiu Yinyu; I highly recommend it, I just love it! The third book is about a protagonist who transmigrates into the lowest level of god, becoming powerful through accumulating incense offerings, but always considers the people's welfare. The fourth book features two male leads; the plot is interesting and heartwarming. The fifth book features two virgins, but with very little romance; the protagonist's identity is mysterious, powerful, and intelligent. The sixth book needs no introduction; it's "Ten Days End," just recommend it, I love it! There's no harem element, so feel free to read it. Those who dislike two male leads should avoid the fourth book.
