   I read the first one before, and recently reread it. It's a period drama about a second-generation official's daughter, with a learning system where the female protagonist learns mechanical knowledge and ultimately gives back to the country, helping it prosper. There's a male lead in both. The second one features a female protagonist who transmigrates and possesses multiple systems, though they're all in testing phases, making her essentially a tester. The systems appear frequently in the early stages but mostly disappear later, as the female protagonist becomes stronger on her own. Initially, she acts as a propagandist, increasing the country's foreign exchange earnings, but later she goes to university, learns knowledge, and serves her country. There's a male lead in both of these.

    This is the best historical fiction I've ever read. The plot is full of twists and turns, not mindless, and doesn't contrive low-level conflicts. After the protagonist travels back in time, he gradually reveals his knowledge of the future, helping the local area develop its industries. When he encounters obstacles, he doesn't become less intelligent. The writing is superb, providing a detailed description of that absurd era and a profound analysis of human nature. It deserves full marks.

    This book is definitely a period drama. The main text already has 1.4 Million words, and the author has even included two related short stories. The writing style and setting are quite good; for example, in Chapter 5 of Volume 1, the 1500-word classical Chinese text "The Song of the Dao" explains almost all the paths of cultivation in a single song. This style, which sets the tone right from the start, is absolutely fantastic.
