   This novel, without a romantic pairing, is absolutely fantastic! It's logical and well-thought-out! Every character is intelligent and emotionally intelligent! Having read many novels about the Qin Dynasty and Qin Shi Huang, I dare say this one is top-tier! A must-read! ① It's not a mindless wish-fulfillment novel. The synopsis misled me; I almost missed a great read. The writing style leans more towards a serious drama, and it's very well-written, unlike those historical novels that jump straight into grand gestures with unrealistic elements like steam trains and electricity. ② The author's writing is superb! They must have researched extensively; the content is very rigorous! The characters' endings are consistent with their personalities, avoiding any out-of-character moments! It's a very realistic novel. Although the plot isn't particularly exciting or wish-fulfillment-heavy, everything flows naturally! ③ Unlike other time-travel novels where the protagonist looks down on their ancestors, or steals credits that rightfully belong to someone else, this novel truly respects the ancestors! Having read many Qin Dynasty novels, I still prefer this one, which focuses on the people of Qin with a secondary focus on a time traveler. Although the protagonist is Qin Shi Huang, it feels more like an ensemble piece, with each main character receiving considerable attention. The scene transitions are also quite good, and the language isn't overly archaic but perfectly reflects the historical figures' personalities without being out of character! With the aid of a mobile phone, Qin Shi Huang implemented reforms based on the realities of the Qin Dynasty, making him the wise and decisive ancestor I admire! The author's writing is superb, and it's a great read! I feel the author is a true Qin Dynasty fan; this kind of development feels real, genuine, and heartwarming!

   Honestly, this is the only book I've been able to get into so far. Erfeng transmigrates into Fusu's body, and both Erfeng and Zheng Ge are my idols! What a powerful combination! Besides, there's another modern-day character who transmigrates into a supporting role, playing Fusu's son. Of course, the protagonist is Erfeng. Having read several hundred chapters, I haven't felt any sense of overpowered abilities or incongruity. I often find myself unconsciously having a feeling that history is truly like this... Important note: This is a historically accurate, feel-good story, but it's the kind of feel-good that fills a void in your heart, not mindless enjoyment. Those who know, know. So please read with your brain. The author has researched historical materials; each character's reactions aren't purely fictional but based on the author's normal deductions from historical records. This is excellent and prevents the reader from being distracted. The writing is good; a certain level of classical Chinese is required to read this, which is also good. I really find it hard to immerse myself in historical novels with too much colloquialisms and internet slang... Furthermore, the writing doesn't make those very basic mistakes, such as addressing people by their full names regardless of their status or relationship, or completely confusing surnames and given names. Seriously, if you did even a little research... Therefore, I wrote a long and thoughtful review, hoping that historical articles will be at least this good, or even better. The more good articles, the better! Let's all learn history together!

She later becomes the Imperial Advisor, fights Zhao Gao her entire life, and dies with Zhao Gao buried with her.

    My first book review is dedicated to Qin Dynasty novels! Here are some Qin Dynasty infrastructure-building novels featuring Zheng Ge that I've read and found quite good. My favorites are 1, 3, 4, 2, and 5 (in order of my personal preference). The first one is one I really enjoyed reading—it's not mindless at all. The female lead is single-mindedly devoted to Zheng Ge and building infrastructure for Qin. She's incredibly resourceful, and all the famous historical figures are basically working for her (she's incredibly resourceful). I've read it four times; the historical information in it was carefully researched by the author. There are also some biology, geography, physics, and chemistry concepts interspersed throughout. Every time I read it, I feel like my brain is growing, and it brings back memories of high school. You can read it without worry. The second one is also good. It's the first time I've seen a female lead transmigrate into a dog, but she's also involved in infrastructure building. She has a father-daughter relationship with Zheng Ge (although she's actually his descendant). It's worth reading. The third female lead later becomes the Imperial Advisor. It's also the first book I read where Zhao Gao doesn't die but instead engages in a battle of wits with the female lead. The Hegemon-King of Chu is adopted by her, and Hu Hai is raised to be a saint (I burst out laughing when I read this part). The female lead focuses on infrastructure development for Emperor Zhengde. Her only romantic subplot is with Fusu, but their relationship is minor, only becoming somewhat ambiguous at the end, but ultimately harmless and worth reading. The fourth one, as the title suggests, is the first book I read, a "Sky Screen" novel. It has no romance; the female lead is somewhat of a tool, and emperors from various dynasties use the Sky Screen to develop their own infrastructure. The fifth is more of a male-oriented wish-fulfillment novel, but not entirely mindless. It brings modern technology back to the Qin Dynasty, later collaborating with the state to develop a technologically advanced Qin. It's decent. The sixth one I forgot, but it's also about infrastructure building and no romance. The seventh one is also without romance; the female lead has no idea from beginning to end that the students are all emperors (guess if she does). Any romances involving the emperors are also related to this one. She even brings Wu Zetian to class to help with infrastructure building. The eighth one is also without romance; she develops a sibling relationship with Zheng Ge (the emperor's brother), and Fusu is turned into a black sesame dumpling. It's pretty much a lighthearted read, so feel free to enjoy it.

    The whole story is like playing an emperor training game. The more you read, the sadder it gets, because you know that the female lead and the First Emperor are more than two thousand years apart, and the resume even says that the First Emperor wrote on his tombstone that he was waiting to meet the female lead, a friend who can never meet. It's so sad.

    Except for the fifth book, which is still being serialized, the rest are all completed [already added to wishlist]. 👉🏻The first book is a short story. The protagonist sells food when he has no power in the early stages, and later, after being appointed as an official by Qin Shi Huang, he starts building infrastructure. It's a decent book 😑 No major flaws. 👉🏻The second and fourth books are written by the same author and are both very good. Super insane infrastructure building, two explosively satisfying novels that completely assist Qin Shi Huang 💥 I really enjoyed reading them [shy]. The second book is a group transmigration without a system, while the fourth book has a system and a powerful cheat ability. The system is great, and Qin Shi Huang can hear your thoughts. I highly recommend these two super satisfying ones! ❗️❗️❗️ 👉🏻The third book is about transmigrating into a dog's body, where Qin Shi Huang and Fusu can hear your thoughts. It's a story about a beloved dog, quite heartwarming. It's not entirely about infrastructure building, but it also involves assisting Qin Shi Huang. This one is also pretty good. 👌🏻If you're looking for something to read, check out the fifth book: a transmigration/impersonation story (a double entendre). [Exploration] Qin Shi Huang impersonates Jia Ping'an's father, and the protagonist impersonates Jia Ping'an. The identities haven't been revealed yet. [Thumbs up] Because this book doesn't have a system and involves transmigrating and impersonating others, it's a time-consuming story about carefully changing the Qin Dynasty. It's quite good, and the author's writing is decent. 🥳

    The author of this book is a huge fan of Qin Shi Huang (the first emperor of Qin), and the portrayal of him in the story almost broke my heart (he's just too handsome, I couldn't resist!). Luckily, I held on; I am a fan of Qin Shi Huang, yes! Sob, but the author's depiction of him is truly captivating—he possesses the majesty of an emperor, yet also his own quirky personality. The protagonist is a college student who transmigrates into the body of Qin Shi Huang's thirteenth son. The story follows the protagonist, Ying Lan, and another protagonist, Zhang An, as they work together to develop the Qin Dynasty. The romance between the two protagonists is very sweet. Of course, there are also many interesting side stories. I also quite liked the story between a pair of supporting characters; I felt there was a backstory between them, but the author hasn't yet revealed what happened before their relationship, which felt a little angsty. It's a 1v1 story, with two male leads, pure love, and the protagonist transmigrating into the body of Qin Shi Huang's son. I think it's quite good, with a lighthearted overall atmosphere. The historical accuracy isn't perfect, but it's enjoyable. I give the author five stars. Light and enjoyable.
