    Evolution starting with dinosaurs. Although it's a quick transmigration story based on British and American movies and TV shows, even people who haven't watched many of those shows can read it without any problems. The writing is okay, the plot is okay, and the imagination is great.

    It's a very well-written novel about traditional Chinese medicine; I haven't read the last few chapters yet.

    An old bookworm is back! I'm getting old, and I can only read stories with good themes, values, plots, and logic. This is a light-hearted, well-paced historical fiction about a female emperor in the Tang Dynasty. The story begins with Consort Wu Hui and centers on the An Lushan Rebellion, which forms the core of the climax. The protagonist transmigrates into the body of a princess and strives to become an empress. The imaginative premise is a small plus.

    Oh, I've only read a little bit, but this must be a good story, otherwise it wouldn't be on my avid reader's list. It's also a historical novel about a female emperor from the Tang Dynasty, with the female idol Wu Zetian as the protagonist's mother. It's still about transmigrating into a princess, the pacing is slow, the details are detailed, and it has some imaginative elements. The author seems to lean towards realism. I'm impatient, so I'm not used to stories with such a slow pace.

    The author, who immerses readers in cyberpunk, guarantees the quality of the entire work. The Shang-surname Wu Kingdom always reminds me of the Yin-Shang period, and it does feel similar. Sigh, when a book's era has a distinct writing style, but the novel doesn't quite match that style, I find it hard to adjust. So I only read a little bit. It's a pity there are so few novels featuring female empresses with grand worldviews.

No one is perfect; the times and our surroundings always force us to make choices and overcome obstacles. There are parts of the text that I feel are weak, but these flaws don't detract from its overall excellence.

    This is a masterpiece. The female protagonist is native, but there's also a transmigrated empress. The plot, characters, writing style, and logic are all truly remarkable. But what's most impressive is its themes. The characters' growth leaps off the page. Contemporary women, we are also in a transitional period of feminist thought, and reality is always slow and complex. We seek women's rights, but even more so, we seek human rights, freedom, equality, and justice, regardless of gender.
