    I'm sure many people will recommend books by Sanjiu and members of the Sandworm Team, so I won't join the crowd. Instead, I'll recommend a few books that I still find enjoyable after years of reading. Sanchonglouyu's novel features a strong female lead and strong male lead, but the female lead is the main focus, the writing is humorous, the structure is strong, and the background is grand—not the kind where multiple identities are scattered and don't feel like a diary entry. The early plot might be somewhat similar to others, but the later parts are definitely original.

    This is really super good! I love the author's writing style. It's still being serialized, and because it's only recently been released, the rating isn't very high yet.

    This is a slice-of-life, slow-burn novel. The protagonist is very friendly, and everyone at school treats him well. There's no bullying at school. The author writes it superbly! 💕

    — "He was deposed and reinstated three times, rebelled twice to ascend the throne, and finally died by slow slicing." 📜 [Synopsis] ✨ Qi Yuanzuo, Crown Prince of the Great Qi Dynasty, was exceptional in both literature and martial arts, possessing a celestial and jade-like appearance. ✨ He defeated the Xiongnu with three arrows, protected the princess on a blood-stained horse, and slew treacherous officials with a red-tasseled spear. ✨ He was a legend on the path of the young dragon, the radiant sun of the Eastern Palace who overshadowed all the other princes. 🌟 "The legend on the path of the young dragon will eventually return—" #RebirthPoliticalIntrigue #NoCPMaleLead That was the Crown Prince of the Great Qi Dynasty who overshadowed all the dragons in the palace! The Sixth Prince, with his six-dou talent, was humbled by the First Prince, whose bravery surpassed even Bai Qi's. The Third Prince, with his shrewdness and resourcefulness, could only look up to him in awe. As for the Fourth and Fifth Princes, they would feel like they had to leave half their buttocks empty when sitting in front of the Crown Prince. Now, someone told him that the Crown Prince could no longer practice martial arts. Who will defeat the Xiongnu? Who dares to tear up the marriage alliance agreement? Who will accept the princess? And who dares to kill the corrupt "Crown Prince" group in Jiangnan? Warning: No romance, raising a child with minor political intrigue, one-sided love, the protagonist, Xiao Taiyu, is not a good person, it's not a transmigration story, but a second reincarnation. Six members of the Jin Department are reborn, there is a transmigrated woman, and Taiyu can learn martial arts later. (PS: If you like strong, beautiful, and tragic villainous protagonists, read on! The Crown Prince is not a transmigrator, he is a second reincarnation with a new identity!)

    Reader note

    This book uses the setting of "Sword Comes" but has little to do with the original novel. The plot is quite fast-paced, and even the beginner's village isn't boring. The author's writing is getting better and better, and although the rating is a bit low, it's still readable if you consider it a substitute for "Sword Comes." Here's my personal rant: The five chapters starting from chapter 279 are completely unnecessary and purely designed to be disgusting. The girl you've loved for half your life is kidnapped and forced to marry another man, and both she and her friends and family urge you to be kind. Perhaps the author intended to express the difference between immortals and mortals, but this isn't a traditional cultivation novel. I forced myself to finish these chapters despite feeling disgusted, and I read to the latest one. However, the later chapters are fine, and the ensemble writing is actually quite good. I can only say that ignoring these five chapters makes it worth reading.
