   Here are some historical novels I've read and enjoyed. The first is set in the Song Dynasty. The author travels back in time and gradually saves the Southern Song, eventually reclaiming lost territories and conquering Europe. It's a long read and represents an ideal Southern Song in a parallel world. The second is set in the Ming Dynasty. The author travels back in time to Zhu Youlang and revitalizes the Ming Dynasty from its humble beginnings in the Southern Ming. It's a good read. Revolution is a continuous process, not a one-time event. The third is set in the Han Dynasty. The author travels back in time to Liu Bei and battles with Emperor Wu of Han. Each volume has an epilogue, showing careful attention to detail. However, the last volume ends abruptly, which feels a bit rushed, but it's still worth reading. The characters Huo Guang and Huo Qubing are particularly memorable. The fourth is also set in the Ming Dynasty. The author travels back in time to Zhu Yijun, from the Three Dragons Painting to Zhang Juzheng, the "Red Dot in the Snow" in the capital, and then to Hai Rui, who reigned for sixty years, bringing peace to the country. The fifth is also a classic. It's set in a fictional world called Da Jingchao. The author travels back in time to a small county magistrate who initially wanted to live a peaceful life but eventually entered the imperial court. The story is exciting, and the author's new book is also very good.

   1. 3. 5 Highly recommended. They all give the illusion of real history. 1. After reading the beginning, the funeral scene in the later episodes brought Gu Yuan to life; I cried during the funeral! 3. The plot is intricate and complex, depicting survival and progress within the cracks of history! 5. Although there are some plot devices, they are toned down later, resulting in an overall warm and compelling story! The main reasons for recommending these shows are the unresolved issues surrounding historical changes, the nuanced character portrayals, the rigorous plot, and the faithful adaptation of historical events!

    The first book is set in the Tang Dynasty, featuring a male protagonist in his early twenties. It covers the generals of that era, and the content is quite simple, requiring some historical background to fully appreciate. Otherwise, some readers might not remember the characters. However, it's an excellent historical novel. The second book features a female protagonist who controls France and is the sister of the Queen of England, though she later dies. She defeated the Bismarck. It's also an excellent historical novel. The third book is for those who like the Wei Dynasty but dislike the Jin Dynasty, and who want to read something with strategic depth. If you're looking for a story of a desperate comeback and a clever mind, this book should fit your needs.

    The plot doesn't feel weak; the protagonist and Zhu Yuanzhang learn each other's identities in less than a hundred chapters. The storyline is well-paced, with a clear main plot set in the Ming Dynasty world and the bookstore. There are almost no personal storylines involving the protagonist, and the author knows what readers want to read. However, the word count is a bit low; I finished reading over two thousand pages in half a day.

Keywords for multiple female protagonists: master and disciple/elder sister/sisters/empress/twins/rice bowl/loli/protagonist/antagonist/love-hate relationship.
