   The first book is about a woman disguised as a man who transmigrates into the body of a prince, drawing characters through gacha mechanics, and being sent to distant fiefdoms to build infrastructure. The second book is about a woman who transmigrates into a man's body; she is extremely talented but physically weak, a beloved, sickly strategist. It features Qin Shi Huang, who raised Fusu, who calls him "teacher." Therefore, the protagonist of the second book wields immense power, serving as the Right Chancellor, and is the kind of person who changes history.

    All are good. The third one is a female-dominated society, but the writing is decent. The fourth one, "The Salted Fish Empress Dowager," has a lot of cheat abilities but is quite good; it's a classic and a long-time recommendation, and it's been over two years since it ended (lol). I liked the fifth one, but the updates were too infrequent, leaving me wanting more. The seventh one was mixed; although there's no romantic pairing, the ambiguity wasn't well-written. The characters are well-developed, but it wasn't very satisfying. If you're interested, you can read it; if you feel like you've hit a nerve, you'll get over it after a few chapters. I highly recommend the first five.

    I've read the same type of books myself. The first one is really good. I wonder why the rating is so low. (Some people say that the setting and the female lead's behavior are different, but thankfully it doesn't have a big impact. Overall, it's still very good. It doesn't follow the imperial examination route.) (The second one is also good, but it has a romantic relationship. I personally think that the romance is a bit cumbersome, but it's still very good. She's already an official at the beginning.)

    The first book is a female protagonist's intrigue novel. The female lead is truly intelligent and strategizes meticulously. The other characters are also portrayed in great detail, and the relationship between the female and male leads gradually develops. The second book features an adorable baby girl as the female lead. The mother protects her child and grows stronger step by step. Other characters also gradually break free from their predetermined fates, showing that the entire book has a grand scope.

    Honestly, after reading Yueyue's book, I couldn't get into any others. It just felt like there wasn't enough of them. But the following are different types, which I think are quite good. Four books have no romantic pairing, two have, but the female lead is very clear-headed, and the only one has a male lead without a romantic partner—it's a career-oriented novel.
