   The female lead is the daughter of Liu Bang and Lü Zhi. She's harbored ambitions of becoming empress since childhood. So far, things seem promising, except she keeps using dreams to explain the technology.

   I found a new book. The protagonist takes Zhang Xiu to join Cao Cao's forces, and also recruits Zhuge Liang's family and Huang Yueying. It mentions military training, papermaking, and printing. The author likes cat figurines.

   I remember reading a different book with a different title. The protagonist transmigrated through time in a dragon robe and was mistaken for the emperor; it was a story about power struggles. I think I remember reading the part where he wrote a letter to Liu Bei.

4. 4 大 [Tang Dynasty] Chang'an of the Great Tang [唐]大唐长安 Gold and Jade Fill the Courtyard金玉满庭Romance1.1M WordsCompleted When Li Chang’an opened her eyes again, she was in the Tang Dynasty. The good news: It was the Kaiyuan era, the golden age of the Tang, and she was a daughter of Emperor Xuanzong. The bad news: The An Lushan Rebellion was just around the corner, and her father disliked her so much he wouldn’t even give her a princess’s title and made her become a Taoist nun.

   The female protagonist transmigrates into the body of Li Longji's daughter in a group transmigration novel, and rebels with her mentor. It's not bad either, but I prefer the one about Qin and the Three Kingdoms.

   The male protagonist is Qin Shi Huang's uncle.

He had even prepared himself for accidentally getting mushroom poisoning and seeing little dancing people. But before he could try any mushrooms, the plane crashed... His only last words were that he hadn't tasted nearly enough delicious food in his life. What a shame. Perhaps it simply wasn't his time to die, because Song Xi opened his eyes again. He found himself in an age of clanging steel and steam. 21.3kFavorites21.6kClicks/ch80.2kGifts
