   Super good! Same author, second book completed, first one still updating. The author draws on historical records, making it quite thought-provoking. Li Chengqian reincarnates two years ago into the modern era. His modern family is very happy; his parents are loving and treat him very well, truly considering him a friend. Then he travels back to ancient times, and the failed Li Chengqian from that era inhabits his modern self. His modern parents immediately notice the difference but still choose to be kind to the original Chengqian. Later, after Li Shimin's death, he also travels to the modern era. The Chengqian who didn't rebel becomes his son, named Li Qian. The reincarnated Chengqian also travels back to the modern era after his death, named Gao Liang, and becomes his modern parents' son, and brothers with the original Chengqian (Gao Ming). It's a bit confusing, everyone please... You can read the extra chapters first to sort out the character relationships. It seems that Li Qian will be with the reincarnation of Du He (female), and Gao Liang will be with Su Yuanyuan (who should be the reincarnation of the Crown Princess Su). Although Gao Liang is not interested in romantic love, he wants to make up for his children (Li Xiang and Li Jue (renamed Li Jue in this book)). You'll know how good it is once you read it. And it's not the kind of story where someone is reborn and immediately becomes like they have a cheat code and can go head-to-head with Li Shimin (that's unrealistic, Li Shimin is at least a top 2 emperor). So some people may feel a bit frustrated. Although he doesn't go head-to-head with Li Shimin, he still criticizes him in other ways. Moreover, Gao Liang experienced his parents' wholehearted love in modern times, so he is not interested in Li Shimin's fatherly love, which makes Li Shimin feel very frustrated. In the early part of the second book, before Li Shimin awakened his past life memories, he would beat Li Chengqian. However, after awakening his memories and discovering the scandal of Wu Zetian's usurpation of the Tang Dynasty, he had to endure it, even though he was unhappy, because only Chengqian's ability and knowledge could manage the Tang Dynasty. In the first book, the original Chengqian was directly reborn, and Li Shimin was also directly reborn. Li Shimin doted on Chengqian and named him Chufeng (Young Phoenix), but Chengqian was reborn at the age of five. Later, Empress Zhangsun and Zhangsun Wuji also awakened some of their past life memories, so they opposed Li Shimin every day. However, since Li Shimin was the emperor and father, he could not escape his control, so he decided to listen to Li Shimin, learn martial arts, and take revenge on Li Zhi and Li Tai after Li Shimin left. At the beginning, he used a dream to force Lao Deng to send him out of Chang'an, although he later returned because Li Shimin had no choice but to pass the throne to him.
