    The female protagonists are morally upright, independent, persevering, have a strong sense of the big picture, and are highly capable. The stories cover a wide range of themes, including modern, time-travel, and ancient times, and the writing is excellent. They're worth reading when you're looking for something to read. Most are completed, with only two still ongoing, but both are exceptionally good. The first book begins with her fleeing, a female warlord in a chaotic world, clashing with powerful figures. The second is a cultivation story, featuring the powerful Qin Shu, who cultivates everything from the heavens and earth to the very air, focusing on maxed-out defense, making her physique capable of going toe-to-toe with demonic beasts. The third and fourth books feature Xu Yue and Lin Du, whose brilliant minds leave readers bewildered; their schemes are intricate and interconnected, making for a captivating and exciting read. The fifth book features a female prime minister who disguises herself as a man to pass the imperial examinations, navigating the power struggles of the court and ultimately rising to the position of prime minister, second only to the emperor. The sixth book, *Xi Hua Zhi*, has already been adapted into a TV series, but the novel is even better. It has clear logic, and the female protagonist seamlessly integrates modern and ancient knowledge, avoiding becoming a crazy oddity in ancient times and instead taking each step with a grounded approach. The last book is about police officer Rong Qian who, while investigating an accident, sees an old photograph from over thirty years ago and discovers that the woman in the photo looks remarkably like her. This incredible discovery leads her on a series of time-travel adventures. This one is quite sweet.

    This is the most fitting account I've ever read of helping Qin Shi Huang unify the six kingdoms. I have to say, Jiu Yuan is truly everyone's ideal woman, even the hearts of the people. She benefited the country and its people, and remains so in their hearts… The author's writing is truly superb, very immersive. Her conversations, life in Qin, her wisdom, her debates with officials, her lectures on various subjects—all are so radiant and captivating. I was drawn in by Jiu Yuan's step-by-step wisdom, her personal charisma, Qin Shi Huang's unconditional trust, her aura, the brotherly love between Li Si and his sister, and immediately sided with Jiu Yuan. I was also drawn to Fu Su's virtuous leadership and the wisdom of Empress Lü… Honestly, the parts where Jiu Yuan left almost made me cry my eyes out. Thankfully, I had tissues, otherwise I would have been crying buckets of tears. Thankfully, the extra chapters made up for my tears.

After their family was exiled, the female protagonist used her special ability to help her father rebel against the tyrannical emperor and establish the Great Xia Dynasty (the female protagonist and her father were decisive and ruthless, not saintly). They also found sweet love.
