But why did his martial uncle transmigrate into the body of a wealthy, handsome, wildly popular movie emperor with countless followers, while Ye Linshuang ended up as a university lecturer perpetually short on cash, teaching boring folklore during work hours and 66.1kFavorites65.7kClicks/ch62.7kGifts

The author is not a history major, so just enjoy it for fun. 2. The heroine is not a teacher. She is only posting a few videos over summer vacation, partly to pass the time and partly to get closer to the textbooks, so there will be some internet culture mixed in.

Only after he was framed and imprisoned did he realize that the absurd life in which he had been ignored and used was all part of a “prince swap” scheme. The fake Crown Prince was cherished by the Emperor and adored by the Empress. Backed by the illustrious Xu family, he became famous across the land at a young age, basked in everyone’s attention, and ultimately ascended to the throne. But Ying F 237.1kFavorites197.3kClicks/ch989.1kGifts

   [26.06] It's a political intrigue story, but the writing is weak. The suspense is handled like a jumbled mess. Also, it relies on superficial actions like a darkening of the eyes or a slight change in expression to advance the plot, which is almost like telling the reader to look closely—there's a problem here. It's so boring.

The Qin-dynasty television drama Ode to the Qin Emperor became an instant online sensation as soon as it aired. The most eye-catching part was the young actor playing the teenage Ying Zheng.

   [26.06] The premise was good, and the beginning was alright, but it got increasingly boring later on. The butterfly effect of the time-space portal transmitting important technology back in time wasn't explained; it was just a "historical shift." Historical figures in the modern era couldn't really show their skills, and some were even in school, which added some inexplicably boring school scenes... Ying Zheng initially had the demeanor of a young Ancestral Emperor, but later he became a precocious, well-behaved child... Sigh.

   [26.05] Something weird happened. I only saw it on the WeChat account today, and when I found the book, it was in my abandoned book list. I had no recollection of it at all and thought I had read it but forgotten. I thought I'd try again, and then I unexpectedly discovered that I had subscribed to auto-subscribe, and it was at 80%. If I really subscribed, I wouldn't have forgotten it. This is too strange. Anyway, I opened it to take a look. The beginning, where she was escaping, was okay. I was really looking forward to the female lead's infrastructure building, but it seems the author was so engrossed in the melodramatic love triangle that they forgot to write about that trashy second male lead... If you can't write romance, you don't have to. There's no need to do it like this. It's disgusting. It should just stay on my abandoned book list... It's just a pity that I probably spent twenty or thirty yuan when I reached 80% subscription. I wonder who hacked my account. I hope it wasn't the author manipulating the data.

    This is a business simulation novel with a very strange pacing. The satisfying part of such novels is building a business from scratch, but the author's portrayal of starting a new business from zero is far too simplistic and fast-paced. One project barely gets off the ground before another immediately begins. This brevity feels inappropriate; it's as if the female lead knows everything but mechanically keeps working non-stop. It's exhausting to watch because there's no clear focus on her daily tasks… And when she finally reaps the rewards of her hard work, there's too little detail. A quick description is all it takes to start a new business and rush back to work… There are no satisfying moments, just endless work.

    [26.04] I really liked the plot points, but... I just couldn't get used to the writing style. There were a lot of descriptions that created atmosphere/mystery, the narrative was very disjointed, and it kept throwing out things that seemed like suspense or foreshadowing, which was uncomfortable to read... Also, every now and then I could feel the small parts taking over the main parts (not in a derogatory sense) and the author's gruff side coming out... Unfortunately, I'm not a gruff person and can't appreciate it.
