Just recommend this one. There is no imperial examination process, but the daily stories of county officials and people in the context of the Northern Song Dynasty. The exquisite details and simple descriptions of the world make you feel like you are being transported into the old days of the two Song Dynasties a thousand years ago. It's not a cool article, but it's emotionally refreshing. It's not Machiavellian, but humane and worldly. There is no CP, no cheats, no modern knowledge dimensionality reduction attack, super realistic ancient world sentiments. The word count is almost a million, and it's so plump and juicy that it's ready to be read. Disadvantages: slow to develop, not a cool novel, no CP, the plot is not very ups and downs, a few chapters are too detailed, don't fall into this trap if you are impatient.
