   All are good. [No System] + [Large-Scale Infrastructure] + [High-Tech] + [Ming Dynasty Empire] At the end of the Ming Dynasty, society was in turmoil, plagued by natural disasters and man-made calamities, leaving nine out of ten houses empty.

   1. I feel this is the best historical novel about the Song Dynasty. It's a story of a protagonist's rebirth as Emperor Qinzong of Song after a hellish start 😏 It's very good. This author has written three historical novels, all of which are quite good. 2. I feel this is the best historical novel about the Three Kingdoms. It's completed and focuses on the protagonist assisting Cao Cao. Some people might not like the romance (but it's not so bad for someone like me who isn't picky about books 😏). If you don't like it, you can skip it. Overall, it's very good. 3. This novel features a class that travels back to the Qin Dynasty. It's a novel and completed book. It's very good. I originally wanted to recommend the Qin Dynasty underworld emperor's tutor novel, but the author is currently experiencing a creative block and only updates occasionally, so I won't recommend it for now 🤦

    This is a fictional story set in a fictional world. It's a male-oriented novel about a son-in-law's rise to power, without any simp or melodramatic elements. The writing style is light and engaging, and while there is affection between the male and female leads, it's not excessive. The interests of the family and the country are prioritized, and the supporting characters are not simply tools for sacrifice.
