The first one is from the Qin Dynasty, and he's my absolute favorite!!! The best prime minister! He's incredibly sickly, but also incredibly gentle. He'd even take off his shoes and beat some people in the palace, but nobody dared touch him, afraid he'd faint from anger, hahaha. No romantic pairing, but some people might not like the female-to-male transmigration theme. However, I think it's precisely because of this that Prime Minister Zhang is so incredibly sensitive and gentle in certain details! The second one is from the Ming Dynasty, and it's also very good!

All three are set in the Qin Dynasty, have no female lead, and are all quite good. 1. This one leans towards slice-of-life humor, with a slower pace. If you enjoy serious-sounding nonsense, this is a good choice. 2. This one is highly recommended, but the author updates very slowly, perfectly fitting the image of a sickly, pampered strategist. However, some say the comments section is quite aggressive, but this doesn't affect the reading experience; you can simply turn off the comments. The author's writing is excellent and well-educated, and all characters have relatively positive values, so it won't make you feel uncomfortable. 3. This one is similar, but I want to warn readers in advance: the author actively promotes the pairing of the First Emperor and the protagonist (and it's indeed very convincing). Please avoid this if you're averse to it.

Both are excellent. The first book (the protagonist's health is poor throughout) features a male lead who is Fusu's tutor, teaching Fusu and helping Qin Shi Huang unify the world. He's the first to pull the emperor back from his arrogance and complacency, earning the emperor's trust. The second book is also very good (the protagonist's health improves initially, then deteriorates later). The first part covers the imperial examinations, while the latter part focuses on the protagonist's efforts. The protagonist's bargaining with the emperor, his attempts to exchange merit for holidays, the emperor's attempts to negotiate and his eventual resignation, and the emperor's attempts to appease the emperor and grant him leave are all quite humorous. However, they both deeply trust each other. Due to the protagonist's health issues, both books end with his death, leaving the emperor heartbroken and facing a court where his presence is no longer felt.

In this setting, I finished reading another book. The first three were all highly rated, and I usually choose to read high-rated books. The fourth book wasn't highly rated, but I started reading it by chance and caught up in two days. Although it's not finished yet, judging from the current trend, there aren't many chapters left, so it won't affect the reading experience at all. This is the most heartbreaking book I've read among all the good Qin Dynasty novels. I was moved by the protagonist's sense of righteousness at the beginning, and then I really felt sorry for him in the later chapters. It's a very complex read. He finally tasted the sweetness of his life because he never showed his own emotions or talked about his regrets before, so it was very heartbreaking to read him later. The friendship between the emperor and his subjects also pushed the reader's emotions to the highest point. It was truly immersive. It was so sad to read. It's a really good book. These four books are definitely must-reads for Qin Dynasty novel fans, but my suggestion is to read the next one after a while because each book gives a different feeling. Although the plot is the same and needs to be consistent, each author focuses on a different angle. It's really good. Highly recommended.

After Qin Shi Huang ascended the throne, he was granted the title of Marquis Wenqing. However, he was assassinated, his heart meridian was damaged, and he only had three years left to live. After Wenqing Hou's death, Qin Shi Huang, moved by Wenqing Hou's lifelong dedication and lack of descendants, ordered Qin Er Shi (Fusu) to guard the tomb of his legitimate son and granted Wenqing Hou permission to be buried with him in the imperial mausoleum. Later generations discovered that there were two coffins in the First Emperor's mausoleum, one for the First Emperor and the other for Wenqing Hou… "Doctor, don't worry, it's alright if you can't live a few more years."

Ying Zheng stood frozen, his eyes fixed on Zhang Yu's pale smile. Similarly, Zhang Yu couldn't utter the word "Old Zhao" even in death... At a river bridge in West Street, Ying Zheng saw a white-haired youth sitting under willow branches covered in frost and snow. Approaching the youth, Ying Zheng couldn't hold back his emotions. The snow was light, landing on the youth's hair. Ying Zheng reached out and brushed the snow away. The youth paused slightly, looking in Ying Zheng's direction, but his gray eyes saw nothing.
