    The first book is highly recommended. Just from the title, you can tell it's not your average novel. The female lead cleverly applies modern culture to ancient settings, unlike other novels where weapons and cannons are thrown in haphazardly. She's a beloved character. The second book might be off-putting to some, but it's really good. The third book—don't be fooled by the title! It's a 1v1 relationship, and the male lead is very doting. The fourth book is also excellent; check out the synopsis for details.

    Yun Yang got off the couch and sat beside A Man, looking into her eyes, and said, "A Man, living aimlessly and drifting along is having no ambition and passively enduring. Living in the present means having ambition, not being trapped in the past, and not worrying too much about the future. A Man, you must remember, the past is gone, regrets are regrets, and the future is yet to come. Worrying about the future is not as good as seizing the present. A Man, happiness and joy are the meaning of life, not in achieving anything or becoming someone. Don't wait, don't wait, don't think, 'If I achieve this or get this, I will be happy and joyful, I will be different.' If the process is always painful, the result will be meaningless, just getting trapped in one cycle of goals after another. Happiness and joy are in daily life, in every meal, in the sunrise and sunset... Try to feel the joy of the present in your pursuits, don't be impatient for success. When copying a book, don't think about finishing it as soon as possible, but seriously feel the charm of each stroke."
