   Except for the second book, all the others are historical romance novels. The female lead in the second book becomes stronger when faced with strong opponents, and the male lead goes through a nightmare of chasing after her! I felt so sorry for the female lead, and I kept reading while crying. Although some of the books didn't get high ratings, they were books I read a few years ago that left a deep impression on me. "The Imperial Empire" has a fictional setting similar to the Warring States period, and I cried buckets of tears in the middle and later parts. "The Oracle" and "The Imperial Ambition" are by the same author, both published in 2017. I once saw a comment: "Lovers can risk their lives, or betray each other for their ideals; sweet moments are like honey, bitter moments are like swallowing a knife with a smile. While it's a romance, it's steeped in the turmoil of the Tang Dynasty and explores human choices; while it's a political intrigue story, its themes transcend ordinary political maneuvering. The most difficult thing in the world is divine revelation, the enlightenment of the masses, the transmission of poetry, literature, and etiquette—these cultural legacies are the essence of history." This is also a profound reflection on these two books, truly feeling the relentless flow of history and the turbulent, cruel changes of the times… The first book, "The River Moon Shines on My Beloved Year After Year," focuses more on the emotional tug-of-war between the male and female leads and the second male lead. As for "What Kind of System," just look at the ratings—the male lead is handsome, strong, and tragically pitiful!
