    Recommended alternate history novels. Also known as *The Ming Dynasty: I Really Just Want to Lie Down*, *Hongwu: Your Majesty, I'm Ill*, *The Attending Physician of the Ming Dynasty*, and *The King of Zhenhai of the Ming Dynasty*. 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 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 weak 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 had a system in his head that automatically provided solutions and resources whenever his obsessive-compulsive disorder flared up, all free of charge. Thus—he saved the critically ill Crown Princess Chang, and Chang Yuchun's daughter survived; he vaccinated the eldest grandson of the emperor, Zhu Xiong Ying, and the child who should have died at the age of eight was alive and kicking; he gave Empress Ma an IV drip to save her when she was critically ill, and Zhu Yuanzhang's most beloved woman lived for another twenty years; he diagnosed Zhu Biao's terminal illness in advance, and the future emperor of the Ming Dynasty did not 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...

    Here are a few highly recommended, addictive historical time-travel novels without a system. The first new book: Depicting the late Ming Dynasty, a time of frequent natural disasters, an incompetent court, an empty treasury, border unrest, and widespread poverty, beset by internal and external troubles. The story follows Zhu Youjian, the last Han Chinese emperor, as he navigates the treacherous palace, carefully navigates the complexities of court life, builds his power base in seclusion, and ultimately reigns supreme. A highlight of this book is its vivid and compelling character development. The characters are not merely plot devices; each is fleshed out, experiencing joy and sorrow, possessing both wisdom and cunning. The book dissects human nature, revealing hidden intelligence, concealed strength, self-reflection, and emotional restraint… using insightful observations as a weapon to dismantle inner demons and break through the schemes of others. The second and third books are rich in historical background, with a reasonable plot progression and rigorous logic. They depict battles against rebels, defense of the capital, conquest of the Jurchens, stabilization of the borders, suppression of bandits, struggles against officials and gentry, and the rectification of officialdom. When natural disasters and wars, along with the barriers between officials and gentry, become shackles of fate, they use their wisdom to break through these shackles, risking their lives. When the laws of survival and human weaknesses intertwine, they use strategy to break through the net, using the game as a chess piece. Only those who can outmaneuver fate by half a move are true heroes. The fourth book is written with profound and fluent style. The plot development is logical and well-thought-out, the characters are vivid, and their intelligence is on point. It shows how Emperor Taichang, who reigns for a month, breaks through a hellish start, step by step turns the tide, and lays the groundwork for the world. In short, it tells the story of court intrigue, power struggles, time travel, the legends of emperors, the regrets of dynasties, and the charm of history. The rise and fall of dynasties, the rolling wheels of history, are all part of the story.
