    1. Male lead Huo Guang (super rare, this is my first time encountering one, so I have high expectations). Female lead Shi Yulu (very nice personality). Currently at chapter 14, the plot and narration are relatively smooth, without any particularly melodramatic scenes. The characters aren't overly dramatic. (Huo Qubing died, I cried TT) I'm putting this first because it's a new book I just started reading~ I suggest waiting until it's fully released! 2. Needless to say, the top female-oriented novel of the Ming Dynasty: Zhu Zhanji (rebirth) & Hu Shanxiang (time travel). 3. This is one of my favorite Ming Dynasty female-oriented novels. The female lead is a time traveler, but aside from small details of her life, she doesn't have any other time travel attributes. The male lead Zhu Yijun has an on-again, off-again relationship but loves her deeply; it's a slow and steady romance. The female lead seems to be from that era. This book doesn't feel like a novel; it doesn't use modern vocabulary or advanced concepts. It feels more like a story based on real events. 4. The immersion is very strong (the audiobook is also great). Hmm... Unlike other historical romance novels I've read, her favorite isn't him, which shattered my long-held understanding of the relationship between the Second Princess and Guanyinbi (it's been taken down and is no longer available). 5. This is a top-tier historical romance novel about the Tang Dynasty: Consort Xiao (time travel) & Emperor Li Zhi. After reading this book, my impression of Consort Xiao was completely overturned. Before reading: Emperor Li Zhi? That weak emperor who lost his stepmother and was ultimately stripped of power? After reading: Emperor Li Zhi? That man with a dark side?!

    No romantic pairing, the female lead's personality is incredibly charming, and these are among the three best time-travel novels I've read, with only the first one currently completed. The female lead is the same in both the first and second books, but the second book doesn't inherit the first's memories, and the timeline of the time travel is different (the second book's timeline is earlier than the first). Both characters assist Ying Zheng and make inventions, but these are all within the capabilities of contemporary society and not too outlandish. The female lead in the first book dies because she altered history, so prepare your tissues; the last few chapters and the later epilogues are enough to make you cry your eyes out.

    [Heart][Heart][Heart] The female protagonist transmigrates to the Qin and Ming dynasties... Rational, calm, and not love-struck!!! 🍅✔ When the female protagonist and her younger brother finally managed to plan their way to the Qin state, intending to pledge allegiance to the First Emperor, they discovered their father, who had run away, in the Qin court. Crucially, this cheap father called King Ji of Qin "Grandfather"... Female protagonist: ... (Neither of her unreliable parents told her their true identity) Ying Zheng: ... (Misled by his sister, he thought he wasn't himself) 🍑 (Both are virgins, 1v1, with some personal settings, mainly a sweet story), has a system (but insufficient power). The female protagonist isn't very good at intrigue and can only increase her own value to remain undefeated (Zhu Gaochi is covering for her, but Zhu Di chooses to ignore it). What to do when she wakes up to find herself at her wedding banquet with the chubby Zhu Gaochi? Running away is out of the question, as the only prince to have successfully rebelled sits at the head of the table. Following one's heart is still very important. Upon closer inspection, this chubby man is actually quite handsome. To improve her quality of life and avoid having another grandson who was a student from the Oirat Mongols, Zhang Yan had no choice but to roll up her sleeves and start reforming the Ming Dynasty. (If she lacked strategy, she'd make up for it with her wealth.) But what's with this son? (A version of Zhu Zhanji from the Second Emperor of Qin has arrived!) 🍎 The female lead just got a system, only to be asked to become empress, and she couldn't refuse... Then a "Heavenly Recap" appeared (it won't just be Qin Er Shi; other emperors will be written about later), which she thought was Hu Hai's "public execution," but... [Who is Qin Er Shi?? Ying Changman could hardly believe her ears. She never expected that Qin Er Shi was actually herself!?] 🍓The female protagonist transmigrates into the future, becoming the renowned founding empress of the Ming Dynasty. However, she doesn't want to be a witness to history; she wants to be a creator of history, striving to improve the social status of women and the living standards of the people, and "conquering the world" alongside Zhu Yuanzhang (1v1, exclusive love, has a system but its presence is not strong). 🍎The female protagonist transmigrates, there are male and female characters, basically no CP, enjoy the thrill of The Legend of the Condor Heroes - Yang Kang, The Ming Dynasty - Zhu Jiancong (with historical records). Beauty's Rival in Palace - Li Zhenzhen (Ying Zhao, Qin III is here! Qin Dynasty and Han Dynasty are recorded). … 🍅The female protagonist transmigrates into the eldest daughter of Zhu Zhanji and the original empress. Originally, the emperor's daughter should be relatively lucky, but when she thinks that her mother will soon be deposed and that she will have a younger brother who is a "famous" Oirat student... She must save herself. In the end, the first female emperor of the Ming Dynasty is born. 🍅Transmigrating into Hu Shanxiang, the first deposed empress of the Ming Dynasty, Jing Shu is about to break down. Sun was Zhu Zhanji's childhood sweetheart; she was at most a mascot presented to the royal family by her family, how could she possibly compete with him? Therefore, knowing the course of history, Jing Shu simply gave up. The Crown Prince Zhu Zhanji finally agreed to consummate their marriage? Jing Shu: "No, no, no, Your Highness, please don't wrong yourself. You and Sun are a match made in heaven. Why don't you let her become the Crown Prince's consort?" Later, Zhu Zhanji was reborn and only wanted to have his eldest son…
