   Sisters, I don't have any Regent x Young Emperor stories, but I do have one about a General x Young Emperor. It's not a angst story because it's a transmigration story, so it's sweet. I haven't read the last few dozen chapters, so I don't know the ending. The second book is a semi-angst story; the male lead is a bit domineering in the beginning but becomes angsty later. Also, the character settings are a bit unconventional, so if you're not into that, don't read it. Please don't criticize, thanks. As for the last book, it has a high rating and a good plot. Sisters, if you're looking for something to read, you can check it out. The only downside is that the male lead kisses the female supporting character (who is also transmigrated and doing this to complete a mission) not long after the first one starts reading. I don't know if that counts as a clean break story. If you're not into that, don't read it. Please don't criticize, thanks.

    You could check out these books. The first one is about revenge and is fantastic! Super good! The second one has great writing, but the ending seems a bit rushed; the author probably ran out of inspiration. But I guarantee the first 600 chapters are good, so it's worth buying. The third one... I forgot which one, it's been over a year since I finished it, but I vividly remember the Republican era section. Oh, it was so heartbreaking! It was about a major general and a frail scholar, and the patriotism was incredible. I think you should read all of these; they're quite good.
