    Calling all secret guard novel lovers! Highly recommend the time-travel novel: *Love in the Northern Song Dynasty*, where the female protagonist transmigrates and accidentally enters the magnificent Northern Song Dynasty! The short stories in the second and third books are taken from chapters of the first long novel, *Love in the Northern Song Dynasty*, and they are all very engaging. The story is meticulously written according to historical events, from major historical events to minor historical figures, all of which are based on reality! The Song-Xia War is strictly based on official historical records such as the *History of Song* and the *Continuation of the Comprehensive Mirror for Aid in Government*. Spanning from 1018 to 1046, the modern-day female protagonist falls into the bustling and dreamlike city of Bianjing, experiencing firsthand the everyday life and cultural charm of the Song Dynasty. She unexpectedly encounters three emperors of a chaotic era! In the end, she chooses to spend her life as a secret guard of the Imperial City Guard. The gentle and benevolent Emperor Renzong of Song, Zhao Zhen; the powerful founding emperor of Western Xia, Li Yuanhao; and Yelü Zongzhen, who ruled the Liao Dynasty, are thus drawn into a complex and intertwined love story and a tangled web of family and national conflicts. The flames of war rage in the Northwest, witnessing firsthand the three classic Song-Xia battles of Sanchuankou, Haoshuichuan, and Dingchuanzhai, and seeing the defeats etched into the dust of history. The political landscape shifts, immersing you in the implementation and turbulence of the Qingli Reforms. Fan Zhongyan, Yan Shu, Ouyang Xiu, Wang Anshi, Di Qing, Han Qi… a host of prominent Northern Song officials come to life, vividly stepping into the story. This is not a mindless, fast-paced fantasy novel, but a meticulous depiction of real history, with a slow and delicate rhythm that grows richer with each reading.
