   "I asked you to go on a blind date with my second brother yesterday, why didn't you go? He said he waited at the bar until late at night wearing a mask, and didn't even see a female mosquito!" "Where are you now? Why didn't you answer your phone all night! If I can't get through, I'm calling the police!" Hearing the string of angry voices on the other end, Song Xi weakly protested, "I actually went on the blind date..." She just mistook him for someone else. Who knew her second brother would wear a mask on a blind date? She didn't recognize him at all. She only saw the man's features outside the hotel; they looked just like Zhang Hening's second brother, so she mistook him for Zhang Hexing. Now it was too late.

    They should all be rated 9 out of 10 or higher. In short, the female protagonist is ambitious, intelligent, and driven to climb the social ladder. There are basically no exaggerated "golden fingers" (advantages that grant unparalleled advantages), and while there are some, they have equally matched opponents, or rather, their "golden fingers" are themselves. I'm currently following the ongoing series. The female protagonist is a businesswoman, and following her perspective, she survives on a completely new continent and builds a new business system. Watching her navigate the power struggles with various races is quite interesting, deeply embodying the essence of a businesswoman. Secondly, it's a very rare political novel. Thirdly, it completely changes the lives of the protagonists in Jane Eyre or Pride and Prejudice because the female protagonist relentlessly climbs the social ladder, influencing those around her. After becoming a powerful countess, she completely changes the social status of women at the time (at least in the territory she governs), abandoning the guise of love to confront the essence of life. I think it's well worth reading; it offers a completely different perspective from the two original works. (I'm extremely satisfied with replacing Rochester; I disliked him a lot when I read Jane Eyre in elementary school. Even better, the cousin doesn't appear at all, saving readers from having to force a pairing.) Thirdly, it's a very rare political-themed novel where the protagonist's cheat ability (space-age advantage) is minimal, mainly just ensuring the female lead has enough to eat, haha. Lihua, starting as a factory worker, enters the propaganda department. With her forward-thinking perspective, she begins her political career as the head of the factory's propaganda department. It's incredibly inspiring to watch. I can only say my hometown needs a Lihua—someone who doesn't get caught up in political intrigue but instead focuses on expanding the pie, achieving self-improvement while simultaneously helping those above her. Fourthly, I think it's a masterpiece among Ming Dynasty time-travel novels. It doesn't depict the chaotic power struggles of the late Ming Dynasty, but rather a relatively stable transition within the court. Thanks to the Oirat students, it ushered in an era of equal inheritance rights for men and women. Highly commendable is the protagonist's lack of obsession with imperial power; she decisively pushed forward the Industrial Revolution, accelerating the historical process of China in this parallel world. "When the world no longer needs emperors, I should retire," and the butterfly falling into the Qing Dynasty is even more satisfying. Fifth is my darling. It took me the longest to read because I reread it so many times. From Xun Ge Wu Ren to De Hua Yu Dun to Tao You Que Que Xiao Hai Ma, and even the villainous son-in-law and his three wives, it's all wonderful. Each character is worth savoring. I feel it doesn't need a lengthy recommendation; everyone has discerning eyes.
