   I love it! The early episodes are really chivalrous and full of old-fashioned martial arts vibes, but Ao Ao is incredibly delicious. The later part, where he conquers the world, is very well written. I'm totally hooked! [Sunglasses]

   The whole book is excellent. The young general in the ancient romance section is adorable, handsome, upright, and intelligent—definitely worth reading.

3. 3 早 Good Morning!

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

   This is an exceptionally strong Three Kingdoms spin-off novel. The female protagonist is both a chivalrous heroine and a war goddess, truly the best in the world, yet she's oblivious and completely clueless about cues. Her interactions with her comrades and allies are adorable. However, be warned: this book places great emphasis on humanism, so the battlefield scenes are realistic and heavy. If you're looking for a lighthearted, enjoyable read, this is not for you.

   The two main characters in this story are absolutely fantastic. General Di is practically a time-traveling Yang Wen-li with the fighting prowess of a modern-day Korbu. He accepts his fate and adapts to the times, yet his soul and values ​​remain steadfast and unwavering. He's a brilliant and moving figure, gazing at the stars from the vast river of history. The main character (the true protagonist) is also wonderful. Honestly, for such a ruler to emerge from ancient times is practically a fairytale from the author's imagination. Even so, it's a dazzlingly beautiful and vibrant fairytale. The two are a perfect match, and their unification of the world is incredibly satisfying! I absolutely love it!

   This is a very old-fashioned story. The pacing is slow and a bit chaotic in the beginning, but the female lead is truly a strong and capable general who understands the world and still cherishes the beauty of nature. The more you read, the better it gets. It's worth a try, but if you can't stand very old-fashioned stories, don't force yourself to read it.

   Curator note

   Given the ancient setting and the fact that they all come from afar, what more could you possibly want to complain about! As always, it's a slow-burn, management-focused story with a focus on conquering the world (conquering the Han dynasty isn't exactly conquering the world!). Both the protagonist and the romantic partner are generals, and their contrasting styles influence each other. What some people might find unacceptable is: This story subtly criticizes Empress Wei Zifu (in historical records, Wei Zifu lacked any political acumen and even manipulated Qingqing to hinder Wei Qing in pursuit of her own ambitions, leading to a complete break between the Wei family and Wei Zifu, etc.). It also portrays Empress Chen as possessing political talent on par with Empress Dowager Dou. In the end, Wei Zifu is confined to the cold palace after giving birth to Liu Ju and dies alone, while Liu Ju is raised by Empress Chen and eventually becomes the crown prince. Her role is quite small, but if you're bothered by this, you'll find it difficult to read. If you can't accept this, don't read on. However, I don't care; I consider it the author's personal interpretation and alteration of the characters. If you only focus on the story, I thoroughly enjoyed it. The author's writing is truly excellent.

   This is a fast-paced, fast-paced, action-packed novel. The protagonist is a reckless and extreme gamer, chivalrous and carefree. His mental state is beliked: he's a Jin Duzi (a character from a popular Chinese novel) without any psychological trauma and not obsessed with the "death spell." The ancient setting arc is quite interesting; you might want to check it out.

   It seems to be a slow burner so far. The male lead is a cute, commissar-type Tian Ce, and the pacing is relatively even. Hopefully, it won't have a bad ending.

   Great story! The female lead is incredibly strong, and it's very entertaining. The only downside is that it's really old-fashioned, even a bit too old-fashioned. It even uses a lot of emoticons, which feels a bit awkward every time I reread it. But if you can tolerate that, it's very enjoyable. [The martial arts setting section wasn't very good; I suggest starting with the Three Kingdoms section.]

    Like the previous book, it shares the same style, author, and flaws. If you can accept its overly nostalgic, dated style, it's truly enjoyable. What makes it better than the previous one is that the female protagonist is more ruthless, decisive, strong, and resolute, even becoming empress herself (and even Qin Shi Huang in the Qin Dynasty arc). What's remarkable is that within such a lighthearted tone, she manages to create a sense of the grandeur of the Qin Dynasty, reminiscent of its ancient tales of green hills and pine trees, reflecting the complexities of rulership and courtly life. I can only say it's truly exceptional. The part where the female lead persuades Ying Zheng to let her become Qin Shi Huang is incredibly logical! As the Empress Dowager and Lady Wu'an, she provides Ying Zheng with immense political resources and the position of de facto political heir. Then, near the end of her life, she tells him she wants to become emperor. Ying Zheng thinks: "Your theoretical grandmother, as the strongest general in the country, worked tirelessly and diligently for the empire, achieving countless feats and clearing numerous obstacles. She was the greatest contributor to your empire's unification of the world. But such a practically de facto emperor, after making such great contributions, is to be buried as one of your grandfather's many wives—what a waste of talent!" He then concludes, "She just wants the title; the actual heir is still you." So, he lets the female lead become Qin Shi Huang. That part was hilarious! It's a very funny book, highly recommended.

    This is an absolutely amazing novel where the protagonist transmigrates from the game "JX3" to become Lu Xiaofeng. The female lead is an exceptionally skilled Tian Ce general. Although the author left it unfinished, the writing style and emotional depth are incredibly strong. It's truly the most epic and heroic novel I've ever read, and it's quite short. You absolutely must give it a try!
