   Jia Yingchun time-traveled, but didn't return to the Jia family mansion, because that was a dead end. She traveled to a Duke's mansion in another dynasty, possessing martial arts skills and often standing up for girls. She had several cousins, with whom she had minor conflicts, but they weren't rivals; in crucial moments, her cousins would offer her advice. She had a strained relationship with her stepmother, but when they became a community of shared destiny, she supported her stepmother. Although she had a marriage similar to Jia Yingchun's, she was no longer submissive. When her mother-in-law made things difficult for her, she argued her case logically, offering words but not money or physical strength. When her husband and maid were having an affair, she caught them in the act with precision and ruthlessness. Finally, she divorced her husband, went to the battlefield, and made a name for herself.

    Absolutely meets your requirements! "Emperor Renzu of Tang," a nearly one-million-word completed novel in mid-September, is highly recommended. I suggest reading the comments section of the last chapter first, where the author summarizes the entire novel. The protagonist, Li Ke, begins by concealing his true abilities and self-deprecatingly rescuing Qin Shubao, then joins forces with Li Daozong despite his own shortcomings, cleverly presenting a composite bow, horse tack, telescope, and sand table. He uses a combination of literary and martial arts to win the heart of Shen Luoli, and uses water magic to move Changsun Pinting's heart. His court campaigns emphasize military strength over civil affairs, while his victorious return reflects a policy of prioritizing civil over military governance. His campaign against Xueyantuo features his own unique tactics, including the "trapping horses in a trough" strategy, replicating the "Four Crossings of the Chishui River" and the four crossings of Langjuxu Mountain, employing the theory of contradictions, and retaining elements from the Romance of the Three Kingdoms. He also portrays Xue Rengui's three arrows pacifying the Tianshan Mountains, conquering Bohai and Liaodong, subjugating Goguryeo, and even kicking a horse cart wheel to fight the Japanese… The list of memorable scenes is endless. It's truly captivating! There's even a complete love letter inside! 😂 Most authors write storybooks, but the author of "Emperor Renzu of Tang" is a true novelist. The author's writing style, word choice, plot structure, understanding of imperial strategies, political maneuvering, emotional nuances, military warfare, court intrigue, and governance are all top-notch. The author's writing is astonishing, the scope grand, the themes lofty, and the thoughts profound. The author possesses solid knowledge, a deep cultural foundation, and masterful political maneuvering. If you don't like it after reading, you can slap me in the face! It's not a mindless system-crushing story; it focuses on political intrigue, large-scale ancient warfare, a constant romantic storyline involving Shen Luoli, and multiple parallel storylines encompassing court intrigue and governance. It blends historical figures from the Zhenguan era with characters from the Sui and Tang Dynasties, adding modern military and philosophical elements for a disruptive effect. Modern thought and educational achievements are used as an experiment in the evolution of civilization in the Tang Dynasty.

    📖 "Transmigrated Villainous Female Lead Reads Minds, Plot Completely Collapses" Book Recommendation Guide: What's it like to transmigrate into the standard simp villain in a wish-fulfillment novel? Qian Duoduo's answer is: First, survive until Chapter 60 and get killed off, then figure out how to return to reality. He's bound to a stingy system. In the original plot, he pursued Zhao Qingying for a year, only to die without a trace. But who would have thought the heroines in this book could hear his thoughts—Zhao Qingying broke off her engagement, Wen Han ran away and got divorced, and Wang Qing, who should have been the center of the wish-fulfillment novel's harem, accepted a five-yuan wooden ring from him at her wedding, chased him to Haicheng calling him "fiancé" repeatedly, and even brought up the old lady of the Wang family in Beijing to propose engagement. The wish-fulfillment novel is even more outrageous: pole dancing makes the news, she's allergic to cat fur to the bone, and he puts on a "demonic dance" for her in a bar, making her cling to a pole and twist her way into a police car. The plot is so messed up that even its own mother wouldn't recognize it, and the system keeps repeating "under correction." Qian Duoduo, this cowardly villain, survives by complaining, gets rich by leaking plot details, and passively turns the tables thanks to the female leads' "mind-reading" abilities. His life is more exciting than that of a typical overpowered protagonist: the crazier the overpowered protagonist goes, the more he wants to lie down, resulting in more and more female leads surrounding him—Wang Qing wants to kidnap him to Kyoto to see her grandmother, Zhao Qingying wants to drag him into the trouble of the overpowered protagonist's harem, even the runaway Wen Han wants to come back, and the shura field is getting more and more complete. ✅ Suitable for: Readers who like unconventional transmigration stories, overpowered protagonists being abused, all female leads with high IQs, and those who enjoy business and stock market thrills. ⚠️ Warning: The villain is not redeemed, the overpowered protagonist is truly a defective and insane character, the female lead has a mind-reading ability, the plot is illogical and self-healing, if you don't like this, please don't read. In short: The villain wants to lie down, the female lead wants to kidnap people, the overpowered protagonist wants to kill—in this shura field, how many chapters can Qian Duoduo survive? …
