Friend's novel recommendation: After Transmigrating into a Book, I Became the Great Mid Laner by Lazy Husky at Home.

Also known as The High-Powered Protagonist's Journey Through the Classics, The Child of Destiny's Daily Life Doting on His Husband, and I'm This Strong, So I Must Be Number One Under Heaven.

As the strongest expert in the cycle world, Yan Yuzhou thought he could go home by defeating the cycle world's boss and getting the key. But the Lord God poured cold water on him: the key is contaminated and no longer works. To go home, he must gather merit. Yan Yuzhou has no choice but to transmigrate through small worlds and save the downtrodden.

A Journey Through Dream of the Red Chamber: As Lin Ruhai's son, Yan Yuzhou faces predatory relatives ahead and short-lived family members behind him. He takes the imperial exams, pushes for reforms, and fights his way through a thorny landscape to forge a broad road to success.

An Adventure in Water Margin: The road is long, the land far-reaching, and who knows where the old capital lies? Transmigrated as Emperor Huizong of Song, Yan Yuzhou sits regally in his hall, subdues the Liangshan heroes, builds a mighty army, restores the grandeur of the Tang Dynasty, and establishes a great nation across the Nine Provinces.

A Pilgrimage to the West to Retrieve a Sutra: The gods secretly protect Snake Coil Mountain, and the unruly horse is reined in at Eagle Sorrow Ravine. As the Third Prince of the West Sea Dragon King, Yan Yuzhou unleashes his full power and trounces the gods and Buddhas of the heavens. He gathers countless demons, makes the Four Seas his home, claims supremacy over the ocean, and rebuilds the demon wilderness of mountains and seas.

Busy Making a Name for Himself in the Three Kingdoms: Dong Zhuo is the very embodiment of evil. Yan Yuzhou pats his belly and sets his first goal after transmigrating: lose weight. Second: develop Liangzhou. Third: extend the Han Dynasty's mandate and revive the spirit of the mighty Qin.

As Yan Yuzhou throws himself into his work and diligently gathers merit, each small world brings not only disposable villains who try to hinder him, but also his devoted partner Ji Shengyan, who stays by his side. Together, they make his life both exciting and happy.

Ji Shengyan: I'll clear the obstacles in your career.

I'll win the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun for you.

I'll build the dynasty you want.

I rule the world of mountains and seas. I want only you, and no one dares to bully you.
