    The first few books I listed are ones I've read recently. I mainly read female-oriented novels, so a few of the later ones are female-oriented as well. You can see how I gradually transitioned from female-oriented to male-oriented novels. Now I can't read female-oriented novels at all, and I can't accept male-oriented novels either. I'm trapped in historical fiction. After 15 years, I feel like I'm doomed. I'm almost out of books to read, so please don't change your reading path unless absolutely necessary.

    🔥🔥The first book is by Yue Guan; the writing is delicate and not mindless. An experienced author you can trust [thumbs up]. I don't know why so few people read the second one, but I think it's still quite good—a different perspective on the Northern Song Dynasty. 🌴The third book is about transmigrating into Li Tai; it's still very well-written, showing how difficult it is to obtain the throne. 🎊

    Here you go, these are all high-IQ historical time-travel novels. The backgrounds are historically accurate, and the intellectual debates are brilliantly written. As a science student, I benefited greatly from them. Of course, the main reason is the authors' meticulousness. The narration team is excellent, with superb voice acting, making them perfect for listeners like me who don't read the books.
