    I highly recommend these three books, all of which are rebirth stories set in a bygone era. It's not about grades, it's purely based on personal preference. The third book doesn't have a system; it relies entirely on experience and precognition. The characters are very realistically portrayed, truly allowing you to experience life in that era. The first book is about someone reborn from the future to make up for past regrets. This author's writing is truly excellent; it's very sweet, and each character is distinct—a rare gem. The second book is about rebirth into past campus life and entrepreneurship. The writing is superb, but it's a bit heart-wrenching. It touches on the theme of not appreciating things when you have them, and regretting it deeply once lost, no matter how hard you try to get them back.

    The plot is logically clear and not exaggerated, with the added bonus of time travel. The angle is novel and worth spending some time on. Several original plot points are excellent, especially the names given to the nine erhus, which showcase the author's skill. The line from the Three-Fold Alley, "Folding flowers produces famous actors, folding leaves houses merchants, folding branches produces minor officials," I predict will become a famous saying. The new book updates with 4,000 to 5,000 words daily, which is worth looking forward to.
