   All three books are about Emperor Zheng (Zheng Ge), and they're all very interesting! The first one is about Fusu traveling to the modern world, gradually adapting, learning, and bringing knowledge back to the Qin Dynasty—the process is hilarious! The second one is about the female protagonist traveling to the Qin Dynasty four times.

The third one is about the protagonist traveling from the modern world to the Qin Dynasty to help Emperor Zheng unify the country. In the end, she sacrifices herself to save Emperor Zheng—it's quite touching!

    The first book features a female protagonist with a grand vision, unconventional and without any special advantages. She rises to power through her intelligence alone—a super captivating read. The second book has a very original story. Initially, it seemed like a time-travel tale, but it turned out to be about being under a spell. With a mindset different from that of women in ancient times, she successfully ascends to the throne and achieves her ideals. Highly recommended!
