   Reader note

   I recommend a unique period drama. It's the story of a group of people born in the 1970s growing up. In that wild and untamed era, everyone was striving and fighting for a better tomorrow. It touches on friendship, family, love, business intrigue, and more. It's very good. Readers tired of typical "power fantasy" novels should definitely check it out. You won't regret it.

    Reader note

    The premise is so novel! This book truly constructs my ideal image of a unified dynasty—the protagonist doesn't follow the common trope of immediately interfering in the Qin Dynasty's affairs after time-traveling, making it feel exceptionally realistic and natural. Using only a time-traveling phone as a connection, the balance is perfectly struck: allowing the Qin Dynasty to rise rapidly from its foundations without appearing rootless and unstable. This is already the most reasonable influence that later generations can exert on ancient times—any further and it inevitably falls into the cliché of overpowered protagonists. This restraint, without being unrealistic or sensationalist, is precisely its most valuable quality! I highly recommend everyone to read it!
