   Then I would strongly recommend this book. It is not about time travel, there is no system, and there are no cheats. It focuses on reality! The protagonist is not a perfect character either. In the imaginary oriental history, there are powerful schemes, palace battles, large-scale wars, and the overall situation of the world. It is completely an epic historical narrative. There are many characters, but each has a distinct personality, and there are almost no facial expressions. The description of the human heart and human nature is also super delicate.
