   I highly recommend this one. It's a story about the daily lives of ordinary officials and commoners in a county town during the Northern Song Dynasty. Exquisite details and a stark depiction of human nature make you feel as if you've been transported to the bustling streets of the Song Dynasty a thousand years ago. It's not a wish-fulfillment novel, but it has its emotional moments. It's not about political intrigue, but it portrays the complexities of human relationships. There are no romantic pairings, no cheat codes, and no modern-day superiority complexes—it's a hyper-realistic ancient Chinese novel. It's almost a million words long, well-developed and juicy, so it's ready to read. The downsides are: slow-paced, not a wish-fulfillment novel, no romantic pairings, relatively gentle plot twists, and a few chapters that are too detailed. Impatient readers should avoid it.

   I'm so angry! How could this author write something like this?! The protagonist gets cheated on right from the start and then relegated to being a forest ranger—it's incredibly frustrating! But I endured it and read ten chapters, and I was immediately hooked! This isn't some typical "sucking-up" story; it's a top-notch, satisfying read disguised as a political drama! The protagonist is a retired reconnaissance soldier, incredibly skilled and capable of intelligence warfare. A corrupt official wants to get him? He gets audio evidence and sends him to jail. His superiors want to block his project? He forces the director of the National Development and Reform Commission to admit his mistake in three days. His promotion speed is like a rocket; he becomes a county magistrate (a full-fledged department head) in two years! The pacing is incredible, with twist after twist—it's so addictive, you can't stop reading even if you stay up all night! 😂

    For those of you experiencing a reading slump lately! I'm vehemently recommending these two books that I devoured overnight – they're so good I'll want to swoon over the authors after reading them! 👉 *The Courtyard Detective* is absolutely amazing! The soul-swapping trope is brilliantly executed, and the scene where the protagonist uses the ledger to turn the tables is incredibly satisfying! Every day in the courtyard feels like a murder mystery, and the supporting characters are all intelligent, though the updates are a bit slow, so those who follow updates closely should proceed with caution. ✨ *The Broken Stele of Seeking the Way* – a must-read for fans of Eastern fantasy! The world-building is incredibly vast, and while the protagonist's rise from seemingly hopeless to powerful is a cliché, it's written with incredible flair! The fight scenes are cinematic, though the initial setup is a bit lengthy. But if you're patient, you'll definitely love it! Both are currently being serialized but have immense potential. If you start now, you'll be a loyal fan! I've been relying on these to keep me entertained while I'm slacking off lately, so bookmark them if you're experiencing a reading slump. If you don't enjoy them, you can come and slap me (just kidding) 💖
