   Please, these three are the must! The first one features a silly female lead who even the emperor has to defer to, let alone her own parents who caused her tragic death. She doesn't tolerate anyone, and she settles her scores immediately. Those scheming, manipulative girls are better off keeping quiet, or they'll suffer even more. The male lead has less screen time but still indulges her. It's a super satisfying read! The second one is set in an alternate history. The female lead is researching the skull of a historical tyrant when she suddenly transmigrates into the body of the most tragically killed empress in history. The system requires her to kill the tyrant and become the emperor to return to reality. However, it seems the tyrant doesn't repeat the historical events, and the story gradually deviates from history. It turns out the tyrant can read minds, and she's not the only one who transmigrated. The third one is very novel. It tells the story of emperors from different eras arriving at a walled city, starting with the first emperor, Qin Shi Huang. They are required to find dragon balls to exchange for goods and complete tasks to build houses before the next emperor arrives. There's a time traveler in it! That's right, it's the legendary Wang Mang, but we can't reveal historical developments or we'll be struck by lightning. Those tyrannical and incompetent rulers in history were chased and beaten by our ancestors every day. Just watch and have fun! I can already imagine a bunch of emperors carrying long guns and cannons on missions!

   I've been reading since the early 2000s, and my tastes are incredibly diverse. Back then, I didn't know what was good or bad; I just read whatever books others wrote. Unlike now, there are so many book reviewers and so many different levels of reading. Perhaps it's because of the different times, but if you try to read books from that era now, you might find them unreadable because you're no longer used to their format. Conversely, books from today wouldn't be suitable for that era either. Every period has its own audience, so I'd like to recommend some of my favorite popular books right now.
