    "Transmigrated and Rebelled" is a highly recommended book by the renowned author @2023. The only downside is that the beginning is slow-paced, but packed with foreshadowing. After a million words, looking back, you realize it's all part of the author's carefully laid plot points, making it surprisingly addictive. ① The protagonist, Ling Bufan, unexpectedly transmigrates back to the Great Qian Dynasty. While seemingly unrelated, it's actually a preordained arrangement. High-IQ, multiple female leads, business battles, and court intrigue—a rich blend of elements. Highly recommended!
