   In the past decade, truly nonsensical novels (not just simple jokes and gags) have almost disappeared. What's even more remarkable is that it's supported by solid historical data, retains the well-developed character of the prime minister, portrays ancient people as intelligent, and features a novel and engaging technological progression. Even more appealing is that it avoids the often tedious and clichéd modern storyline of the older brother found in most transmigration novels. I sincerely recommend everyone to read it!

The first three books are quite rigorous and could easily score at least 8 points, demonstrating a high level of skill in strategy, warfare, and domestic affairs.

    The first book: Liu Bei is reborn, he can hear his own thoughts, and with hindsight, he changes the course of history. The opening is somewhat cliché, but it's an ensemble piece. The plot doesn't feel unintelligent, the characters are well-developed, and so far I haven't encountered any major flaws. It's a bit slow-paced, but I found it smooth and enjoyable to read. (What attracted me most wasn't the cliché setting, but the captivating interplay between the characters and the plot.) The second book: As the title suggests, it's written in classical Chinese. Liu Bei (Liu Shan) travels back in time to become Wang Lun, moving the characters in *Water Margin* with his benevolence and righteousness. Later, characters from the Three Kingdoms period also travel through time. I wonder how exciting it will be. Please read *Liu Bei to Water Margin* (actually, I haven't finished it yet; note that it's *Water Margin* with Three Kingdoms elements, not just *Water Margin*).

    This book is a rare gem among Three Kingdoms novels. There are countless books on the subject, some good, some bad, but this one stands out for its dual-player second-cycle opening with Liu Bei and Liu Shan. It retains the classic approach of starting from Xinye and gradually expanding, with Liu Shan's second-cycle opening showing him laying the groundwork for everything beginning there. There are also hints from Liu Shan to Liu Bei. The writing style is a blend of both, and the plot shows the author's careful reading of both the Romance of the Three Kingdoms and the Records of the Three Kingdoms. The author also updates a significant amount daily, making this a highly recommended and well-received read.
