   The first book, written by a descendant of a military family, features a female protagonist who joins the army, fights against the US and Vietnam, and experiences the constant loss of like-minded comrades. It feels very realistic, with each character being fleshed out and well-developed; it's a very good read. The second book features a female protagonist who travels from the future to the Republic of China era. From a bold and youthful girl, she experiences the loss of family and friends on the battlefield, losing all hope and becoming increasingly desperate, even resorting to murder. It's truly heartbreaking. When she's in pain, she goes to prison to kill her loved ones. The third book, "Second World," features a female protagonist, Mingyue, who uses the power of words to awaken the people's wisdom; it made me cry buckets.

    A fast-paced, no-romance, infrastructure-building adventure! The female protagonist, bound to a system, mistakenly believes the apocalypse has arrived and frantically hoards supplies, emptying her savings to stockpile rice, flour, oil, tools, and medicine, fully prepared to face a zombie-infested wasteland. However, upon teleporting, she's dumbfounded—there's no apocalypse, only towering trees and strange alien vegetation. A cold system notification echoes in her mind: "Welcome to Star Island. Builders, please begin your infrastructure construction." The 15-day round trip to Earth was supposed to be a fallback plan, but when she confesses to the police about the alien base, she's mistaken for a lunatic. So, she immediately binds herself to a reliable policewoman, directly contacting the national leadership. The entire nation's artisans and research teams rush to the alien planet to build a Chinese interstellar civilization from scratch!
