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.

I sigh deeply and wipe away my tears, lamenting the hardships of the people's lives. An ordinary yet compassionate female protagonist... A general. It's a bit angsty because the protagonist's heart remains that of a modern person. Living in a chaotic world is truly painful; a saintly, ordinary female protagonist. All she ever wanted was a peaceful and stable life, but she had to fight her way through blood and sweat for it. It's rare for a female protagonist to retire from the world like this, because she's just too exhausted…

●The author is bad, but the writing is good. That's all. First review: Absolutely amazing! No substitutes online! Who understands?! I've watched it countless times!! Except for the Ming Dynasty, which wasn't as good as the earlier ones because the female lead became a god and it was so satisfying, the other dynasties were truly wonderful! I really love this kind of female lead who cares about the common people!! The female lead is versatile, sweet, ethereal, and silly, with a unique and imaginative mind, making the most of the favored concubine system, the chef system, the Taobao system, and even the fourth natural disaster system! Waaaaah, I really want a second season!!! I was initially indifferent to the big giveaway, but who would have thought it would be so visually appealing? It's truly the fourth catastrophe. I love the group portrait of the players. Second edition: I've read it four times. And each dynasty is uniquely crafted. Qin had a tyrant, so it needed the compassionate Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden to let the First Emperor see the common people. Tang had a benevolent ruler, so it needed the fickle Mountain Spirit to help the Second Princess break the stalemate. Han had a powerful ruler, so it needed Jingwei, who could ascend to godhood and help develop productivity, allowing the protagonist to advance without worry. At first, I felt the Han heroine's time in the story was a bit short, but the more I watch, the more I feel it's the most suitable. Because the heroine doesn't understand politics, and the ancient people are definitely not NPCs. Having traveled to ancient times, she can only do two things: develop productivity and spread knowledge. The Taobao system is good in this respect, unlike the previous Favored Concubine System and Chef God System, which required various tricks to come up with ways to develop productivity. A few Kindles were enough to spread the knowledge; the ancient people would naturally develop productivity themselves, so the god could leave the stage, leaving at the most appropriate time. I was hesitant to read Song when it was first serialized, but after it finished, some readers said it was very enjoyable, so I started reading it. It really is excellent, and I've reread it countless times. I really love the ensemble cast; everyone is working hard, and I also love seeing the locals spontaneously support, understand, and even become like the wise men. If the preceding dynasties were the age of gods, then the Song Dynasty was the age of men. The subsequent rule by a hundred people was the prototype of a democratic system. Even if later generations did not have superpowers and could not surpass productivity to maintain a democratic system, they would always fear the people, and there would always be successors to follow in the footsteps of their wise predecessors in governing the country and creating a new chapter. From Qin to Tang to Han to Song, the halo of the gods gradually faded, while the charm of humanity gradually increased. The Qin's Grand Tutor accompanied the Qin Emperor for two hundred years; the Tang's Mountain Spirit lingered during the reign of Emperor Taizong; the Han's sun, after sowing hope, returned to heaven; and the Song's minor official, with a hundred wise men governing the country, ensured that democracy resided in the hearts of the people.

Great read! A female empress fantasy! So exciting! The female protagonist rises to the political stage entirely through her own schemes, disguised as a man for the first dozen or so chapters, but quickly reverts to her female identity and becomes an official. She's already fully developed before Emperor Ling's death, and after his passing, she becomes a powerful figure attracting the allegiance of various strategists. She has quite a few female officials under her command, but they weren't there from the beginning; they developed gradually. The historical context is very well considered. A very realistic and satisfying read—I love historically accurate and romantic stories!

The author's previous historical fiction book was amazing, and this one is great too! It's essentially a dual-female-lead story, with both the Empress and the female lead being main characters, each with their own growth path. They are mother and daughter, confidantes, and allies. The Empress's awakening of her power consciousness is inseparable from the female lead's reminders, and the female lead's rise to power is also inseparable from the Empress's schemes. The bond between mother and daughter is so beautiful, Mommy is so wonderful.

Cao Sheng is amazing! He's not a saint, but he's better than one. My favorite line is the ending. "Return everything I have borrowed from the world." The female protagonist knows she is just a passerby and can never fully integrate into the era, so everything she does is not for herself. She merely opened a door, leaving behind the flame of civilization and guiding the way forward. Everything else depends on the efforts of the people of her time. Some say the female lead is a bit "arrogant," even condescending. In my opinion, her "arrogance" is a choice to protect herself. Only by remaining detached from the world can she avoid being driven mad by the cannibalistic feudal society. Moreover, it is precisely this arrogance and condescension that motivates her to want to change society. Judge by actions, not intentions; and by intentions, no one is perfect. This story has a coming-of-age theme. The female protagonist initially feels detached from reality, harboring a mixture of anger and sorrow towards her ancient mother. Faced with this maternal love, she doesn't want to suffocate herself or hurt her mother, so she chooses to ignore it. I've seen some people say the female protagonist looks down on her mother and discriminates against women in ancient times. Please don't make baseless accusations. The female protagonist has already expressed her views; she always feels pity and sadness for her mother. However, she cannot change the barriers and tragedies caused by the era, so ultimately she can only feel anger and sorrow. She also knows that her mother was a victim of feudal society, while her father was a beneficiary. Therefore, she dislikes her father more than her mother. Just because she spends more time with her mother in the inner quarters of the household, and there are more scenes depicting her there, does that mean the female protagonist discriminates against women in ancient times…? Moreover, the female protagonist's detached views were eventually shattered by reality, and she finally realized that this was not a dream, and she could not remain an outsider forever. Even though she disapproved of her mother's shortsightedness, rigidity, and outdated ideas, she couldn't deny that she was a mother who loved her child, and was even thinking of her child until her death. She was only 23 years old. From then on, the female protagonist felt a sense of urgency. She began to cultivate her own power and strive to change the era. The female protagonist always had a sense of detachment from worldly affairs. Ultimately, it wasn't that she adapted to the times, but that she changed them. "Respect the elderly as you would your own parents, and care for the young as you would your own children." This is how others described the young sage Cao Sheng. Perhaps Cao Sheng didn't consider himself a saint, but just an ordinary person, but it's undeniable that his words and actions were those of a saint. Some say this book doesn't cover much about women's liberation and therefore doesn't qualify as a "strong female lead" or "female protagonist" novel. But what defines a "strong female lead" or "female protagonist" novel? Does it necessarily mean the heroine must raise her voice and call on all women to stand up? The heroine's ambition is to ensure everyone in the world can eat eggs, and she actually achieves that. Isn't that a strong female lead? Isn't that a "female protagonist" novel? The female protagonist's role in the society depicted in the story is analogous to Ms. Tu's role in modern society. Her contributions cannot be easily measured. In my opinion, a female protagonist with her own unique personality, strength, and methods is a true "strong female lead."

It's quite good. The female lead plays two roles: the emperor is male, and the empress is female. There are parts where the empress's story involves female awakening. The emperor and empress are both the female lead's accounts, which is a bit like the Di-style (a derogatory term for a certain type of person). The ministers, to avoid using the word, refer to the emperor as "Di" in their diaries—the "Di" in "Di Ting" (a character from the Book of Documents). That's cool!

I started by following the serialization, then waited for it to accumulate before finishing it. By the time I finished, the epilogue had already been revised. Overall, the beginning was pretty good, although the plot device was a bit overpowered and idealistic, it offered a rare perspective, and I really liked the concept. I gave it a low score because the author disabled the comments section, and the epilogue was a bombshell, although it was later revised. Anyway, the beginning was quite good… but the author clearly still loves the male lead… And all that talk about reality… it's hilarious… the whole thing is unrealistic!

If you're looking for something to read, this is a good option. The author's previous book was decent, but the female lead in this one isn't very bright and doesn't seem to be able to support the goddess character's persona. The female lead has a kind of innocent stupidity, and she only lies when things come to a head. But can she really cover it up? A protagonist lacking foresight simply can't sustain the goddess's character. The initial setup was poorly executed, making others seem somewhat naive. Even if she is a goddess, in the emperor's eyes she's merely a tool for pursuing immortality and wealth, let alone someone who might just be a mortal with some supernatural abilities. It's quite perplexing. That's all for now; I probably won't continue watching.

This is a story with no romantic pairing for the female lead. She and Zu Long are platonic friends, soulmates who are more than friends, but they never end up together. I think this is a very good way to handle it. A rare find: a gentle, carefree, and slightly saintly female lead (in a positive sense; this term shouldn't be used negatively at all)...

I saw someone tweet about this on xhs, and there are no problems so far. I love the female lead's perspective: A woman's ambition needs no reason! The article is short, but I recommend all the ladies read it! A really good love story about a daughter. [Sprinkling flowers] ●The following are some random thoughts that are unrelated to the article but inspired by it: Every time I see a man criticizing Wu Zetian, his reasons are like this: "She should have just been empress; she could have governed the country well without becoming empress. How many people died because of her ambition?" I just want to laugh. Why not ask those "loyal ministers" of the Three Kingdoms period (namely, Yuan Shao, Cao Cao, and Sun Quan)? Why not ask those people of the Wei, Jin, and Southern and Northern Dynasties? Why not ask those people of the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms period? Why not ask Zhao Kuangyin? To put it bluntly, the man is just being hypocritical. Ambition needs no reason; if you want to be emperor, you do it. Many men belittle Wu Zetian and praise Empress Lü and Empress Deng because they were good empresses, but in reality, they all look down on women. Oh right, Empress Lü and Empress Deng were also criticized as "hens crowing at dawn" at other times, but when men beat other women, they suddenly become blind again... I don't mean to say anything bad about Empress Lü and Empress Deng, but it's really laughable that they're putting one down while praising the other, and actually looking down on Lü and Deng. They really love to morally blackmail empresses/female politicians. Jia Nanfeng was criticized for her private morality, with the saying "the most poisonous heart is a woman's," but she was clearly an excellent politician. Despite frequent natural disasters, she was able to maintain "peace in the court and countryside" and "tranquility throughout the country" for nine years... The Sima family was able to hold on a little longer entirely because of her, and then they were destroyed by that group of anthropomorphic male figures in the Sima family. People like Fu Jian and Cao Cao had flawed private morals, yet men could correctly evaluate them, saying "no poison, no manhood," but when it comes to female politicians, they go blind. That's hilarious. Men who are insecure, incompetent, fragile, and broken.

It's not a story about a strong female lead and infrastructure development; it's a lighthearted story about redressing historical regrets. It's told from the female lead's perspective, and the supporting female character is quite memorable, working alongside the female lead to break free from the shackles of womanhood. That's why I'm including it here. The female protagonist transmigrates into the body of a tyrannical emperor in history, and the story is full of persecution and amusement. It's a very good read! The female protagonist saves the country while being a tyrannical emperor! There's absolutely no attempt to whitewash the tyrannical emperor; the female protagonist's attitude is: I'm just rotten, let's see how you stop me from having fun. It's good that they don't whitewash the incompetent ruler; he doesn't deserve it! Watching this was both funny and sad. The female supporting character was portrayed very well! Sisters, stand up!

Editor 1: It's readable, but it's an older story. I suggest stopping halfway through. I quite like the female lead, but the romance is really unbearable. The romantic relationship between the male and female leads is rather strange. The male lead is Xiang Yu, who has already massacred cities and whose family still exists. It's quite perplexing that the female lead marries Xiang Yu after ascending the throne. I'm genuinely afraid she'll be usurped; this powerful maternal relative is far too strong, especially considering Xiang Yu's past. It's quite difficult to evaluate. Second comment: I saw someone say that the recommendation mentioning the male lead Xiang Yu's massacre of a city was actually what attracted them to read the story. Nanbang, huh? Big Socks, were you really raised under the red flag? I don't expect you to be able to empathize with the common people when you travel to ancient times, but at least you can't fall in love with a massacrer. In modern times, this would definitely be a prime candidate to fall in love with a serial killer. The reason I say the romance is a mess is because, stripping away the so-called "Overlord of Western Chu" aura, Xiang Yu is just a personification. The female lead's claim of being a history enthusiast is probably fake; the more I know about history, the more annoyed I become with this personification. He massacred five cities, and even planned a sixth, targeting the border region between Wei and Chu, but was dissuaded by righteous men. Each massacre occurred after the city surrendered, slaughtering the unarmed. He also killed 200,000 surrendered Qin soldiers. This is quite different from the massacre of Bai Qi, whose actions were driven by ulterior motives. Xiang Yu: There's no reason; I just wanted to kill. Xiang Yu embodies the typical aristocratic mindset of feudal society, never considering commoners or those from humble backgrounds as human beings. I truly don't believe that someone raised under the red flag could abandon their values and morals to fall in love with the historical figure he portrays. Yet, our female protagonist so innocently falls in love with Xiang Yu. I ask you this: if the female protagonist had influenced his character earlier, making him less human, then their romance might be acceptable. But in the book, Xiang Yu is the one who massacred cities, and the female protagonist is utterly distorted (she was incredibly outstanding in the early stages, but her mind went completely blank when it came to love). Furthermore, historically, Xiang Yu already had a principal wife; Yu Ji was merely a concubine accompanying him in the army, even though she became the female protagonist in the book. Leaving aside the artistic embellishment of "Even now, thinking of Xiang Yu, he refused to cross the Yangtze River," I think the attitude of the people of Jiangdong towards this personified figure should be, "Though the sons of Jiangdong are still alive today, would they be willing to fight alongside their king again?" I have only one thought about the female lead's romance with Xiang Yu: she actually fooled herself by pretending to be the Princess of Zhou, genuinely believing herself to be superior, and happily accepting a wonderful romance with the feudal nobleman Xiang Yu, right? The blood and tears of the common people are just a part of your drama. Besides the fact that Xiang Yu is an anthropomorphic figure, there's another reason. Xiang Yu's power was immense; he held military power, had clan support, and enjoyed male dominance (after all, it was feudal society). How could the female lead possibly agree to let Xiang Yu become empress? Well, it's true love, I understand. On the surface, it's the female lead's world, but in reality, it's still the Xiang family's world. The female lead has clearly figured it out. The Xiang family must be laughing all the way to the bank, thanking the female lead profusely. Of course, excluding the female lead's many idiotic actions later on, the beginning is still a good story. It's just that the portrayal of Liu Bang is too absurd; Liu Bang never criticized Xiang Yu (incidentally, historically Liu Bang made a three-point agreement with the common people, while the female lead falls in love with Xiang Yu, who massacred cities). The author says the female lead is cold-hearted, but in the early stages, she's actually quite excellent and has the moral compass of a modern person, but later...

Fourth installment: The second unfinished story. It was marked as completed before, but the editor wouldn't let it end (the author wouldn't get paid if it wasn't finished), so it continued serialization, and now it's been hastily ended again. The female lead's identity wasn't revealed... Which is ridiculous. Later generations always refer to her as "she." Thirdly: It had a terrible ending. At most, her previous endings were a bit rushed, but not terrible. When I found out it was over after not watching for a while, I was heartbroken. This is the first time I've been betrayed by my favorite author... Seriously, I can tolerate a little bit of bad ending/late updates/hiatus, but I just can't tolerate a precipitous cancellation... Two stars for the female lead... I ordered all four of her books... Haha _(: D)∠)_ I can't help but laugh when I see my previous recommendation. I'm the Clown?? I won't change the ratings for my previous books. But I'll leave this one as is for now. Editor's Note: For a good read, look at the author to understand the text! By the way, this story is plagiarized, so those who dislike plagiarism should proceed with caution. (Honestly, I love plagiarism stories. To be honest, there are so few good plagiarized stories in the female-oriented genre. This kind of story really needs plagiarism to feel right. The author's own poems and lyrics don't allow readers to appreciate the female lead's literary talent at all; they just feel awkward. Moreover, the author's literary skills are also very strong. They don't just blindly copy; they use them appropriately. The female lead can truly speak eloquently and effortlessly.) The female lead is truly amazing. Even after transmigrating, she is always engrossed in reading and diligently filling her knowledge gaps. She puts in the same effort she did to prepare for the college entrance exam, sleeping only three hours a day and frantically absorbing ancient knowledge. With that kind of effort, anything she does will succeed! Not to mention, the female lead is also very intelligent. She'd probably be a leading expert in Chinese literature in modern times. The comments section keeps saying that the female lead is too unrealistic. Please, does a genius have to follow basic laws? The female lead is a genius, a once-in-a-millennium genius! In modern times, even a female lead couldn't be an ordinary person. The comments section is still debating the fact that the female lead is disguised as a man, and it's honestly a bit noisy, plus many people are anxious about taking out loans. While I don't know how the author will handle the revelation of the female lead's gender, I don't think it will be a flaw; the author's previous works are all strong, empowering female characters. This story starts in hell, but the female protagonist turns the tide. What I find most satisfying is that everything she does isn't even a slap in the face; it's like the sun shining on the earth, and ordinary people are simply swept along by its equal rays. Before absolute talent, these are nothing but stepping stones. How can the brilliance of a firefly compete with the sun and moon? When a genius reaches the level of the female protagonist, everyone will only look up in awe, not envy. Witness the female protagonist's path to success! Part Two: The female lead's true identity will be revealed; future generations will regard Lu Zi as her, but currently she's still disguised as a man. The Lu family is merely a stepping stone for her rise to power. It's not that retribution hasn't come, it's just that the time hasn't arrived yet. The female lead's goal has always been to make as many friends as possible and as few enemies as possible. Even a king can't appoint people solely based on personal likes and dislikes; the female lead will use some members of the Lu family for her own benefit. If you think a strong female lead novel must have the female lead being patient one chapter and then wiping out her entire clan the next, then don't read this. The female lead is currently using the Lu family to pave her way and build her reputation; the praise-and-kill technique is still in the early stages (the female lead's counterattacks against the wise members of the family are quite smooth; now the Lu family is basically just background, and the female lead is a master of manipulation).

A story that hits both the mark and the spotlight. Da Lei: I'm not clean. Cute point: Truly yin and damp flavor bone//family. Please note the publication date before reading. This is a genuinely old-school story, with a dark and gritty plot. It's not a typical female-centric story, but it might touch on the strong female lead aspect. The female lead has high martial arts skills but is an ordinary person at heart. However, she also realizes the importance of martial arts in chaotic times, so she becomes an important female general under Cao Cao. PS: There's a very important potential trigger: the brother is truly dark and not a good person, a typical feudal scumbag, but he's willing to defy his father and remain unmarried for his sister, even willing to die for her... This leads to a distorted and painful sibling relationship, where they can neither love nor hate. It's a bit of a sad story for the female lead because she's really just an ordinary person. Although she's very strong in combat and can fight enemies on the battlefield, she's just an ordinary person at heart. And this isn't based on historical fact, but rather on the game Dynasty Warriors: Three Kingdoms. It's nostalgic for the days when true incest was possible. As an incest fanfic, it's top-tier. And it's a real shame the female lead didn't sleep with other men, like Zilong and Bofu Xiangxiang. After all, even the male lead isn't chaste, so why can't the female lead? Qwq The author's ideas were quite progressive, and even today they have many merits. It's a decent piece of early literature. I really like the female lead. I like that kind of naive, slightly naive girl with a touch of old-fashioned naiveté, but also a bit rational yet fragile inner drama queen—a naive, ordinary girl with a knack for witty remarks (such a long qualifier, haha). And, the brother is a real psychopath, a dark, crazy, controlling, and compulsive lunatic. The younger sister is truly pitiful, but unfortunately, there aren't many scenes where the brother is tortured; it's mostly just mental torture, and the only physical torture he suffers is dying once for his sister. Oh right, why did it end happily (the brother and sister got together)?! I wanted a sad ending! The scumbag brother was charismatic, but he really didn't deserve a happy ending! My poor little sister, can't you let her come home...? It's a terrible ending, I declare it a terrible ending...

I've already finished reading the author's two historical infrastructure novels! This is the third one, and I'm still reading it—it's great! However, I thought the author would start with the Song Dynasty book. I didn't even know the author had started a new book until I saw it on the list, since I hadn't added it to my collection.

"Qinyuanchun: Biography of Chen Zhao" Inspired by the poetry gathering held during the Lantern Festival, I composed this piece. A thousand years have passed, her soul transcends the dust and smoke, stepping into the Han frontier. She bows before Zhang Jiao, receiving divine teachings; within the Yellow Turban tent, her brilliance shines forth. Commanding the winds and clouds, with the grace of a goddess, she commands ten thousand elite soldiers, their spirits soaring. Her fame spreads, witnessing the mountains and rivers change color, and the enemy trembles in fear.

A spark ignited in their hearts, their poetic souls resonated; they discussed their lofty ambitions, their spirits soaring. With wit and wisdom, they navigated the palace intrigues, and with courage, they assassinated the tyrannical emperor, plunging the young ruler onto the throne into turmoil. The day would come, the winds of change would blow again, and a new era would dawn.
