1 Good Morning! Three Kingdoms Wage Earner 早安！三国打工人 Vastness of the Underworld蒿里茫茫Romance2.7M WordsCompleted “The land is in turmoil, and the people are suffering.” Lu Xuanyu doesn't really understand what those words mean. Ever since she landed face-first in the earth in the sixth year of Zhongping, the brief dream she'd once had has long since vanished. She has an unremarkable face, poor social skills, no family background, and a strange debuff that makes everyone hate her. Not becoming some warlord's unattainable dream girl isn't a big deal. She has two good hands and two good feet. She can do a 195.9kFavorites205.7kClicks/ch993.3kGifts

The good news: It was the Kaiyuan era, the golden age of the Tang, and she was a daughter of Emperor Xuanzong.

The Princess's Path to the Throne is good, but I'm deducting one star because it's a bit flat. The side stories are just average.

When she woke one day, she discovered that she had become a low-ranking female official in the Tang dynasty during the Zhenguan era: a seventh-rank record keeper in the Palace Discipline Bureau, responsible for recording palace rules and punishments.

Things seem pretty good from the start… Wait, which faction’s goddess is she, exactly?

No romantic pairing, mostly set during the Jiajing era, very information-dense, not simplistic, and after reading a dozen chapters I felt like I'd read over a hundred. The author is particularly good at cleverly incorporating references, and not the kind that are overused and outdated. As a female fan of historical fiction, I really enjoyed it (hearty laugh).

This book is over a decade old, and I regret only discovering it now—it's amazing! Aside from being incredibly long, it has no other flaws. I loved it; while reading it, I often thought about the plot and characters. However, because of its length of over three million words, and my somewhat attention-deficient nature, once I put it down, I couldn't pick it up again. I haven't finished it and probably won't reread it (like some super-long, legendary novels...).
8 I Am the Han Crown Prince, Champion of Filial Piety, Brotherhood, Benevolence, and Righteousness 吾乃孝悌仁义汉太子也 Mulan Bamboo木兰竹Romance1.3M WordsCompleted At the age of five, Liu Ying awakened memories of his previous life as a modern person and learned the “history” of his current life. His memories were hazy. Aside from knowing he had been born five years earlier than in “history,” he vividly remembered that his father, Liu Bang, would try to depose him as crown prince and drive him to his death, while his mother, Lü Zhi, would keep a human pig in the toilet to try to scare him to death.

The words flow like a gentle breeze and a soft stream, bringing a sense of comfort. The writing is pure and clear, the language graceful and crisp, yet subtly revealing an unspoken but overwhelming power.
