He's high-ranking and powerful, wielding considerable influence and ensuring the female lead doesn't suffer. There are no misunderstandings or awkward silences common in other stories. He stands by the female lead from beginning to end. Top-tier period drama with high-ranking officials! [Thumbs up] 3.

    These are some of the more memorable historical fiction novels I've read. The first one is a farming-themed historical novel, depicting the female protagonist's life herding livestock on the Tianshan grasslands. The author portrays the lives of the herders in a very interesting way, and the various animals are described with great spirit. It's a great farming novel. The second one is a military-themed historical novel, where the female protagonist is a military doctor and the male protagonist is a top soldier. The author of this novel is truly excellent. There are no toxic elements or female rivalries; it portrays the spirit of dedication of people in that era who were not afraid of hardship, fatigue, or death in their efforts to build their country. It's truly a tearjerker. One hot season after another, their generation caught up with the construction that others had taken centuries to build in just a few decades—the sacrifices were truly immense. I highly recommend this novel, the 3rd one. It's a fast-paced, action-packed historical novel. The female lead has high emotional and intellectual intelligence, and exceptional execution skills. While others fight tooth and nail for a job, she uses her brains to become an unofficial employee in dozens of factories. Don't miss this if you want a fast-paced, action-packed novel! The 4th one is a super-rich historical novel. The female lead's character is also very interesting; she transmigrates... The overseas Chinese who returned to China to invest mainly focused on investing money, truly breaking free from the circles of educated youth, workers, and military wives. This is a rather unique period drama, the 5th book in the series. Both the male and female leads work within the system, which is rare in period dramas; most female leads are businesswomen. But after reading this book, you'll understand why the female lead was able to succeed in the system. The female lead in this book is absolutely ruthless and decisive. In other period dramas, a villain can linger for dozens or even hundreds of chapters, but in this book, the villain is eliminated by the female lead in just two or three chapters, leaving no trace. Yu Di, the male lead is also the rare gentle type. The 6th book is more like a hodgepodge, with various types of female leads from different historical novels appearing around the female lead, and the endings are all very realistic. The most outstanding thing about this book is the author's superb writing style. The plot is 8 points and the writing is 10 points. I was really amazed when I listened to the audiobook, especially the descriptions of the female lead in the countryside. The author's descriptions are extremely vivid, like a picture slowly unfolding before your eyes. It is worth reading. The above historical novels are all of the more unique types I have read. I highly recommend them!
