   Curator note

   It's just a lighthearted, brainless, sweet story about a protagonist who pretends to be weak while building infrastructure and farming, and who has a cheat-like ability to achieve great things. Aside from a slightly awkward section about later events at the end of the main text... The second viewing was alright, not too awkward.

   That's pretty cool. I really admire the author who writes about ancient infrastructure; her network of connections is so extensive, and she covers so many different areas of knowledge.

   A story set in an ideal world from a fictional dynasty; in my opinion, Chapter 13 is the most captivating part of the entire text. Aside from the few side stories written from the perspectives of ordinary people with different backgrounds, the others felt rushed. The romance is a bit awkward, but sweet.

   One thing I don't quite like is that the protagonist, as a powerful minister, is intelligent and resourceful, but as someone close to him, he can't see that the other person has had a different soul, nor can he tell that the one on the throne isn't the original. The younger brother is the same; I think both of them are blindly loyal. They can't even realize that the person they like has had a different soul. Do they like the soul or the shell? It's a pity that someone who can't recognize the soul of their beloved can only be guarded against.

   It's so sweet, so sweet, so sweet! I love it! The writing isn't the best, but I can't see anything wrong with it. I still love it even after watching it twice! Who can resist Xiaoyu's adorable antics?! I read it three times, paying too much attention to detail. I even connected it to other stories with similar worldviews featuring the character Xiaoyu. I really shouldn't have used my brain.

   It's quite good, very much to my liking for survival stories. The system descriptions are also very interesting; I can't help but marvel at how the author can write so many imaginative and imaginative passages. However, it gets a bit weak towards the end, when the protagonist is almost at level 5. After the protagonist has abundant resources, the story doesn't get as detailed, and it loses its impact.

   What a healthy and fulfilling relationship, the feeling of living a stable life—I love it so much. It leaves you wanting more, but it doesn't feel too short or unfinished; it's a very complete story. But isn't that a little too little vinegar...? So many dumplings, so little vinegar!!

No leading the tribe to prosperity, and no saintly do-gooder. Both the top and bottom are muscular, manly guys. The top won't make weapons, isn't a walking encyclopedia of plants, can't treat illnesses, can't make pottery, and isn't a portable cookbook, but he is very aggressive. And neither the top nor the bottom can give birth to babies! Put simply, it's the story of a guy who transmigrates to a world with wome 624Favorites6.9kClicks/ch17Gifts

   There were basically no major setbacks, and anything that happened was resolved quickly. It was alright at first, but it became too bland and a bit boring later on. Also, it felt like the civilization was pushed a little too far ahead of its time; for example, implementing simplified characters and performing surgery in the Stone Age was a bit ahead of its time.

    The main story is good, but I didn't like the side stories much. The protagonist of the main story is like the independent and proud main soul Xu Shao who grew up in the real world, but the protagonist of the side stories is more like the inferior and cowardly split soul Si Nuo who was left behind in the empire. Furthermore, I don't really like Si Sheng's tendency to shift blame. In the main story, because he didn't cause any real harm to the protagonist, it didn't seem so unforgivable; however, in the side stories, he did something wrong and then blamed others for not giving him clear instructions, genuinely causing irreversible damage to the protagonist, which is unbearable. The root of all this is that he didn't recognize his own god… He talks about loyalty, but in reality, he's just perfunctorily following the will of his god.
