Mainly Recommending Late Ming Novels!
No marriage alliances, no reparations, no ceded territory, no tribute. The emperor guards the frontier; the ruler dies defending the state. After the Yuan dynasty fell, the Ming was established by the Han people on Chinese soil. Its founding improved the status of the Han, restoring the majority population to a commoner's standing and creating favorable conditions for China's future development.

Lacking personality and with low combat strength, I can't stand it.
I stopped reading after the fifth chapter. In this day and age, "saintly mother" is the biggest taboo in online novels. Why write her as a saintly mother?
No wonder something felt off. There was no network of servants. A merchant wouldn't rely on just one person; he'd invest in several. Those rebels, before they rebelled, wouldn't easily harass young ladies.
