    The first book is a quick transmigration story, and the protagonist is probably single. It's not finished yet. The protagonist transmigrates to a parallel historical dynasty, and each time he doesn't live long. My understanding is that every time he changes other historical events, the protagonist has to pay the price – it's a cycle of cause and effect, and it's so heartbreaking! [Crying][crying] I cried in almost every book. If you don't like the writing, you can skip the first world. Don't criticize the author; if you don't like it, don't read it. The female lead isn't a saint! [Crying][crying] She craves to be needed, so while saving them, she's also saving herself. The female lead is similar to a role-playing character; in the original story, the protagonist dies and asks the female lead to fulfill his wishes! They're all good girls! [Crying][crying] The second book is a romance novel with Zheng Ge (a character from a popular Chinese novel series). It's not your average dream girl novel; it's a very good and sad one with a bad ending and a happy ending in the epilogue. (I think the ending is a bad ending, which is quite accurate.) The first time the female lead travels to the Qin Dynasty, it's the third time she meets Zheng Ge. After that, the timelines are reversed. PS: Before having children with the female lead, Zhen Ge was virgin, but she dies later, leaving only Fusu. According to the dynasty's rules, she had two children [thinking]. The second time the female lead travels to the Qin Dynasty, she saves Zheng Ge when he's a child and dies in front of him. The third time she travels, she begs Han Fei for help and meets the person who was kind to her during her first travels. Later, she seems to be being chased, and then the female lead and Zheng Ge fall off a cliff, after which the female lead loses her memory. Because the female lead told Zheng Ge earlier that she would eventually leave, she couldn't accept his confession? But the male lead didn't believe in fate and wanted to keep the female lead, but he still couldn't. A-Zhi, the male lead's love interest, died in the Misty Mountain. From then on, there was only Ying Zheng, not A-Zheng. [Crying][crying] It's super, super heartbreaking, a quiet sadness mixed with hysterical memories. [Crying][crying][crying][crying] The third book is a female-to-male transmigration story, and the author's portrayal of the protagonist is truly wonderful, a kind of "white moonlight" figure. The extra chapters seem to involve something like watching a movie in the future. It's similar to the protagonist being framed by his family, having a physical ailment, working for Qin Shi Huang, and eventually becoming prime minister. But what impressed me most was that before, Zheng Ge (the male lead) worried whether the protagonist could survive the winter, and in the end, the protagonist left in winter. (Ps: Fu Su was well-educated by the prime minister, and there was no estrangement between father and son. When the protagonist left, Fu Su's son was born, and you have to admit, it felt quite real.) The prime minister is truly a "white moonlight" figure! [Flying kiss][Flying kiss] Fortunately, the Prime Minister no longer has to drink bitter medicine. I think it would be quite bitter for the Prime Minister to have to drink medicine on the verge of death, so the author made him leave the story early.

    Hmm... I just finished the first one today and it was really amazing! The female lead is so pitiful, and she has no romantic partner. She's such a wonderful girl, and the epilogue gave her a happy ending. The second book is about a female lead with social anxiety and depression in the beginning, but she gets a bit spoiled later on. It's worth reading! The male lead is a beautiful silver-haired man! The third book!! Have you ever seen the deep sea? Do you like forests? If forests have fairy tales, please bring them to my side. If fairy tales have endings, please let me fall in love with them. If they fall in love with me too, then let the stars be our witnesses. If you're afraid of the ocean, then come with me to the forest. If forests have fairy tales! There was another angst-filled book, Fu Yachi's, but there are too many to find (private message to Marseille). Apologies to everyone.
