1. Pure ancient story, Ye Jiao, the second lady of Anguo Palace, was originally a sunny and straightforward girl, but on the eve of her engagement, she discovered that her fiancé not only betrayed her feelings, but also attempted to kill someone to silence her. In order to protect herself, she temporarily recruited a sickly young man to be the "scapegoat", but she did not expect that the ninth prince Li Ce, who was rumored to be the "living dead", turned out to be a strong man with extraordinary strategies. 2. Make a strong debut with the setting of "female protagonist and scumbag male twin + male protagonist traveling through time". 3. I particularly like the character of the heroine in this book. She is never aggrieved from beginning to end. In the words of the book, she can eat anything as long as she doesn't suffer. The writing is very smooth and the breasts can be seen clearly.

I recommend this one, about the power schemes at the bottom and the daily stories of small officials and people in the county. The exquisite details and simple descriptions of the world make you feel like you are being pulled into the old times of the two Song Dynasties a thousand years ago. It's not a cool article, but it's emotionally refreshing. It's not Machiavellian, but humane and worldly. There is no CP, no cheats, no modern knowledge dimensionality reduction attack, super realistic ancient world sentiments. The word count is almost a million, and it's so plump and juicy that it's ready to be read. Disadvantages: slow to develop, not a cool novel, no CP, the plot is not very ups and downs, a few chapters are too detailed, don't fall into this trap if you are impatient.
