His memories were hazy.

How could he put up with that?! Liu Ying immediately stol 65kFavorites105.4kClicks/ch620.4kGifts

   Curator note

   Still being serialized, this is one of the few novels that effectively portrays Bangzi's personal charm; in most historical novels, Bangzi is portrayed as a roguish old man. The "golden finger" (a powerful, overpowered ability to manipulate emotions) is quite interesting, but the author overdoes it when depicting romance, a problem present in previous works as well.

The Zhao Shicheng of “Everyone knows the Phoenix Hairpin, but no one knows me, Zhao Shicheng”? The tragic supporting character in the heart-wrenching love story passed down through the ages about the patriotic poet Lu You? 63.2kFavorites114.4kClicks/ch315.5kGifts

   Curator note

   A chemical engineer transmigrates into Zhao Shicheng's body and starts building infrastructure from the age of three. It's a pure wish-fulfillment story, but well-written, with very little romance.

   Curator note

   As the title suggests, the male protagonist is reborn as Emperor Huizong of Song. This book has a strong male-oriented feel, haha. The brotherly relationship between him and Emperor Zhezong is very sweet, and the male and female leads are also very affectionate.
