    I highly recommend this one. It offers a unique perspective, depicting the daily lives of ordinary officials and commoners in a county town during the Northern Song Dynasty. The exquisite details and stark portrayal of social customs transport you to the bustling city life of the Song Dynasty a thousand years ago. It's not a wish-fulfillment novel, but it has its emotional moments. It's not about political intrigue, but it captures the essence of human relationships. There are no romantic pairings, no cheat codes, and no modern-day superiority complexes—it's a hyper-realistic ancient Chinese novel. It's nearly a million words long, well-developed, and ready to read. The downsides are: slow-paced, not a wish-fulfillment novel, no romantic pairings, relatively uneven plot development, and some chapters are too detailed. Impatient readers should avoid it.
