   It's set in the Republican era and is super good! The female lead transmigrates into a book with a system and becomes the concubine of one of the male leads. I really love this kind of forbidden romance. I also really like the female lead's free-spirited nature; I personally don't like purely wish-fulfillment novels.

After being possessed by a "saint-like" time-traveler for three years, he finally regains his body but is forced to imitate the transmigrator's "perfect persona." Even more absurdly, he possesses a lucky charm buff; he stumbles upon enemy spies' secret meetings while drinking tea, and finds crucial intelligence while strolling the streets.
