   The first book, *The Prince of the Ming Dynasty*, was decent at the beginning, but lost its appeal after the rebellion succeeded. The second book, *Liu Ju, Son of Emperor Wu of Han*, is worth reading; it's well-written, but the protagonist is only eight years old, so I haven't finished it yet.

   Having read over 300 chapters so far, almost everything is foreshadowed, even the much-criticized attack on the Qin Prince's mansion. From the initial diversionary tactic to the use of a fake head to disrupt morale, and finally the guards' rebellion and capture of the leader, the author's arrangements are all logical and seamless. Neither Liu nor Yang have an omniscient perspective; given their personalities, they wouldn't simply sit idly by and wait for an attack. It's unfair to dismiss the protagonist as useless just because he suffers a setback. The enemy's strategy is clearly superior, and there's prior foreshadowing that the diviner on the opposing side is more powerful than the protagonist's. Mishaps are to be expected. This book can truly be read as a historical fiction; every character is well-developed, and the protagonist experiences setbacks, sadness, anxiety, and worry—a rare quality indeed. While Xue Dingshan is a fictional character, he accidentally kills his father and suffers defeats. These setbacks actually make the character more realistic. Also, never think that the ancients were inferior to you just because you're a time traveler or a modern person. Many time-travel novels have this problem; they always think that controlling the administration of wine and salt will bring in a fortune. Not only are these things incredibly easy to acquire and master, but given Yang's situation, he couldn't possibly focus on business. He should have entrusted the administration to Zheng and then proceeded gradually. Compared to the mindless nature of other time-travel novels, this book is truly delightful. However, I am genuinely curious: if so much money and resources were spent on Huining County alone, how will they develop it after expanding their territory?

   After reading 330 chapters, I'd rate this as a rare, high-quality fantasy novel. The author's writing is excellent, the characters are vividly portrayed, the plot unfolds seamlessly, and the world-building is mature. The harmonious family dynamics without internal strife are appealing and unconventional. Every character, including the antagonists, has their own underlying logic, avoiding any mindless or illogical actions. The female characters are all memorable, and the royal family's extreme control over the martial arts world is quite satisfying. The novel is also rich in foreshadowing, creating connections between plot points and maintaining a good pace. The only downside is the slow update speed 🥺 (given the author's high quality). Overall, it's excellent. Male readers should definitely check it out! My personal subjective rating is five stars. Follow this beginner-level bookworm, Xunyu, as he guides you through online novels! 😘
