   1. No male lead, has a system, plays videos beneficial to the development of ancient times for ancient people (sometimes also tells jokes and gossip about emperors). The overall style is very humorous (Gu Yunye). 2. No female lead, has a system, travels from ancient times to the present and talks to ancient people. In the early stages, the ancient people he talks to can travel to the modern era. Together they reclaim Chinese cultural relics and promote and inherit Chinese culture. The overall style is exciting and inspiring (Jiang Yi). These books have a certain educational value, allowing us to effectively and quickly remember some historical tidbits. The other books are similar to the previous two, but with their own unique features. 😳 (The last one is my personal favorite 💕~ The female lead is reborn, doesn't seek revenge, simply completes tasks to gain her life, and sometimes promotes traditional Chinese skills. It focuses on a young person's patriotic passion, and there is a male lead) (Su Xing and He Xu).

    Except for number 4, all the stories depict ancient people observing modern life through a celestial screen. Stories 1, 3, and 5 show ancient people watching the protagonist's life, while story 6 shows ancient people watching the protagonist watch videos—there's no interaction. Story 4 shows the protagonist interacting with historical figures through a system, providing modern viewers with their perspectives. Stories 1, 2, 3, and 6 all feature interaction between the protagonist and their ancestors, driving historical progress and reversing past regrets. Personally, I prefer stories 1 and 2; they're shorter and more lighthearted and humorous.
