   Although it's a transmigration novel, it's based on real history. The level of realism in the history of the late Tang and Five Dynasties period is probably unmatched in the online novel world. The author put a lot of effort into this period. Originally, he planned to write from the late Tang Dynasty to the Treaty of Chanyuan in the Northern Song Dynasty, in four parts. The first part, "Wang Feng Wei Man Cao," was found to be too classical and complex, making it unpopular. Therefore, he wrote this transmigration novel. Because there are no cheat codes, no system, and no golden fingers, it feels exceptionally realistic.

   Honestly, it's hard to find many high-quality historical fiction novels on Tomato Books. Most are fast-paced, fast-paced reads with little to no basic writing quality. I personally recommend these two: *Langya* needs no introduction—it's like drinking strong liquor, very exciting, but its downside is that sometimes the logic becomes illogical, like remembering dozens or hundreds of mistakes made by the Minister of State, or his flawless strategies. *Nine Provinces* is more like sipping fine tea—logically sound, well-written, and with many insightful observations. Its downside is the slow pace, too many ensemble characters, and too many subplots. Like *Game of Thrones*, sometimes just when you're getting into it, it abruptly jumps to another storyline.

    Absolutely amazing! Also known as *The Great Ming Dynasty's King of Seas*. Zhang Wuxian, a 36-year-old failed entrepreneur, transmigrates to the eleventh year of the Hongwu Emperor's reign, becoming a spirited 20-year-old. He initially wanted to settle down and 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 army was weak and incompetent, and even the Ming Dynasty's failure to conquer the world had to be changed. Even more outrageous, 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 eight, thrived; he gave Empress Ma an IV drip to save her from her critical illness, and Zhu Yuanzhang's most beloved woman lived for another twenty years; he diagnosed Zhu Biao's terminal illness in advance, ensuring the future emperor of the Ming Dynasty wouldn't die young. With these four people 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, introducing him to everyone as "this is my son"; 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, saying, "The most diligent person I've ever met is you." Zhang Wuxian replied tearfully, "Your Majesty, I'm not being 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 flag of the Ming Dynasty 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...

    Five-star recommendations for two captivating historical time-travel novels without a system. The first, a new work: 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. At this time, the time traveler Zhu Youjian is born. Witness how the last Han Chinese emperor navigates the treacherous palace, survives by breaking through obstacles, secretly builds his power, and ultimately turns the tide to rule the world. A highlight of this book is its well-developed and vivid characters, who are not merely plot devices. Each character is fleshed out, experiencing joy and sorrow, possessing strategic acumen and intelligence, and their stories are logically consistent. The second, completed work: Deeply rooted in history, with a reasonable plot progression and rigorous logic, it features battles against rebels, defense of the capital, conquest of the Jurchens, stabilization of the borders, suppression of bandits, struggles against officials and gentry, and rectification of corruption… a web of schemes and plots within schemes. In short, the book depicts the power struggles and intrigues of the imperial court, explores the legends of emperors, mends the regrets of dynasties, and showcases the allure of history. The world is the chessboard, and all beings are pawns; who is the player, and the wheels of history keep turning ever forward?

    Highly recommended! A first-person narrative set during the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms period, slow-burn (you'll be a bystander in the early stages), no system, no cheat codes, no modern technology, no pretentiousness, no mindless plots, no idiocy, featuring history, characters, war, intrigue, and strategy. The story revolves around an adopted son who seizes power, controls regional warlords, and ultimately unifies the land, continuing the five-hundred-year golden age of the Tang Dynasty!
