    The first book is about a protagonist who travels back to the late Qing Dynasty. The story begins with a hellish start, with a bunch of pigs about to be sold to plantations in the Americas. The protagonist leads his crew to seize a ship, establish a base, expand their power, and later launch a northern expedition to establish a regime, ultimately destroying the Qing Dynasty and driving out the foreigners. In short, it's very satisfying; you see everything progressing smoothly and even get some tech upgrades. The second book, on the other hand, is about a protagonist who travels back to the late Ming Dynasty. He starts by gathering remnants of the army and gradually builds a regime. It's a very enjoyable read, and not one of those mindless, trashy wish-fulfillment novels. It has a historical background, and most importantly, the author's unique insights.

    I'm recommending a novel called *Cao Xiong*. First, the downsides: it's slow-paced, and the first 500,000 words might deter many readers. Second, the pros: everyone who persevered has no regrets. The protagonist transmigrates into Cao Cao's son, Cao Xiong, with no system or cheat codes, starting from infancy. Yes, literally an infant—still breastfeeding. While other Three Kingdoms novels recruit soldiers in three chapters and bestow titles in five, in this book, the protagonist is still learning how to survive in Cao Cao's household at 500,000 words. But believe me, only those who persevere will know how satisfying the foreshadowing and plot twists will be. With 3.9 Million words in drafts, you can read it all in one go without waiting for updates. Perfect for seasoned readers tired of system novels and looking for something different.

    This book, in its early stages, is a slice-of-life historical novel without a systematic structure, featuring numerous detailed descriptions that present the lives of ordinary people during the Warring States period. Its most distinctive feature is its use of a story from Mencius—the tale of a man from Qi who had one wife and one concubine. The protagonist is transported to this very Qi man's body at the beginning, instantly gaining two wives. However, his family is poor, often going hungry, so he uses his knowledge to gradually improve his impoverished life. It's quite interesting, isn't it? Definitely worth reading…
