   This is incredibly good! Just look at how long I've been reading it!!! Below are some personal opinions from true fans regarding some of the negative reviews. There are a few spoilers, but don't worry about them. (Some negative reviews say: 1. The female lead has few female companions because she lacks power and influence in the early stages, and the area is poor, so she can only prioritize feeding the people. There are girls admitted to the academy, but only one, reflecting the patriarchal society of ancient times. Later, when she gains a voice, she will work with others to promote women's education and official positions. 2. There are references to "disobedient daughters" and stereotypes. I remember the only "disobedient daughter" reference was "mother's," and the stereotype was "boss lady." Personally, I think the setting is ancient. You can't expect people in a patriarchal society with multiple wives and concubines to use terms like "father's" or "dad's." Furthermore, the fact that women can do business without being criticized for showing their faces in public is already a romanticized interpretation by the author. If nearly half the population doesn't respect women now, how can you expect people from an ancient setting to respect them?)

   The lack of a rating is due to low readership; a niche new book doesn't mean poor quality—my reading time speaks for itself as a seasoned reader's recommendation. The male protagonist doesn't have a harem; he focuses on his career, taking it one step at a time. His geographical knowledge is solid! You can learn a lot from him. He lacks the arrogance of a transmigrator, instead using modern knowledge to navigate the delicate political maneuvering of ancient times. As the protagonist, he achieves his life's purpose amidst perilous situations; the scope is grand, easily rivaling popular political intrigue novels.

Those who enjoy stories of substitute marriages, strong female leads, ancient infrastructure projects, war god resurrections, and triumphant rises from abandoned mines might want to check this out.
