   The first book, 61 pages long, is undoubtedly of high quality. It has no romantic pairings, is not mindless, and has no system. The protagonist carves out his own path in a chaotic world.

   The first book was added to my bookshelf in 2025, but it only had about 100 chapters at the time, and following the updates was too painful for me. I only recently resumed reading it. It's a political intrigue novel with no romance, and the writing is superb. After the female lead gains power, she directly reveals "her" gender. The second book was read in 2023, and I read over 1000 chapters in one go. However, I dropped it because I found the female lead's ambiguous relationships with her ministers too much. Since it was written in 2023, I thought it was still okay overall, so I recommended it (only the first 1000 chapters). The third book is set in the Spring and Autumn Period, with no romance. I discovered it through a short drama and continued reading after finding it on my bookshelf. It's very well written. The female lead's mother is from the Baiyue tribe (most tribes are matrilineal) who married into a villager family at the foot of the mountain. To avoid being recruited by the government, the female lead moved up the mountain and began a series of actions known as "building high walls, storing up grain, and delaying the declaration of kingship."

    Both books were excellent for me. The first one relied on personal strength, with the protagonist initially forced to develop and rule a region, then continuously expanding his territory, implementing the imperial examination system, and promoting women's rights—it felt very realistic. The second book started with a young girl, but she possessed something like a time-travel ability? Going to her original world would change her age, similar to helping people and establishing good relations in her current world to facilitate recruiting talented individuals. I especially loved "The Charmer," which had a system and cheat-like abilities.

    I recommend a book, not a female-oriented one. The female lead is a female version of Liu Bei, and the male lead is a transmigrator with a system. It's a chaotic battle of historical generals. The beginning is good so far, and it's worth reading!
