   I highly recommend this book. The protagonist transmigrates into the body of Yinzhuo, the sixth prince of the Kangxi Emperor's reign. His character is a bit dim-witted, sickly, and beautiful. Although it's a new book, it's quite long, but the low rating is due to a small number of reviews. However, it's still a very good read.
