    🔥A time-traveling romance novel set in the Southern Song Dynasty, perfect for those looking for something to read! In the first year of the Xianchun era, the Mongol Yuan Dynasty pressed in, and the Song Dynasty teetered on the brink of collapse. The protagonist transmigrates into the body of Emperor Duzong of Song. He not only schemes in the court and wars but also forges a new path by developing industries: refining snowflake honey, brewing "Breaking the Frost," and opening the Yuyuan Sugar Shop. Just after the New Year's Day court assembly, the Qinghefang trading company opens, attracting envoys from various foreign lands who flock to the shop, purchasing large quantities of sugar and spirits to resell to the northern grasslands. Instead of brute force, he uses trade as his weapon, exchanging goods for provisions and slowly influencing the surrounding vassal states. The story features court intrigue, bustling business, and inter-state power struggles, with a comfortable pace and no simplistic plot points. Currently in its verification and recommendation period, it updates daily. The latest chapter, "Breaking the Frost, the Trading Company Welcomes Foreign Guests," features a satisfying scene where the envoy places an order!

    The writing style is somber and poignant. The author is skilled and precise in language, possessing both the conciseness and detachment of historical literature and the vivid imagery of literary description. In particular, the creation of atmosphere (such as the oppression before the coup, the brutality of the battlefield, and the intrigue in the palace) is outstanding, and the whole text is permeated with a desolate and heavy sense of historical destiny.

It's currently in the recommendation period, with 10,000-20,000 words updated daily, absolutely no breaks! Yi Xiu is reborn a year before Hong Hui's death. This time, she's no longer love-struck, she won't harm her child, and she won't blame all her hatred on women. She wants to protect Hong Hui, secure her position, and uncover the truths she overlooked in her previous life. Rou Ze won't be portrayed as a purely evil woman; she made mistakes, and her naiveté is never an excuse to hurt Yi Xiu. The sisters will still argue, resent, and suspect each other, but as the truth is gradually revealed, Yi Xiu discovers that the one who truly pushed all the women step by step towards tragedy was Yin Zhen. From "Xiao Yi" to "Yi Xiu," from past affection to mutual loathing, all the romantic storylines end in tragedy. Zhen Huan, Chun Yuan, and Yin Zhen will not have a traditionally happy ending. This time, Yi Xiu doesn't seek his love. She just wanted to see who Yinzhen could blame for everything after those women stopped taking the blame for him.
