There are too many books on my shelf to write a review for each one. I'll just give each book a rating out of five stars. I only recommend books rated three stars or higher, and I've read every one of them before adding it to my shelf.

If he could become emperor himself, the Song dynasty would be miserable and utterly pathetic.
After reading the comments, I decided not to continue reading. First, the author gave away his own sister (his childhood sweetheart) as a concubine? If she were his wife, I wouldn't say anything, but does the author even know what a concubine was in ancient times? She was merely a tool for bearing children, even less than a servant. Many people used concubines to entertain guests, haha... Truly awful.
Bro, how many chapters have you written this day? How long are we going to keep this up before we can kill it?
I've already given you my recommendation vote! I hope the author will continue to work hard.
Author, if your daughter or sister were to marry a scumbag or a Black man, would you agree?
It's incredibly toxic. His own sister (though not blood-related), who had always taken care of him, is written up to be someone else's concubine and subjected to humiliation. The protagonist fawns over others while receiving no benefit whatsoever and having no say in anything. Meanwhile, the protagonist is forced to face only hardship—it's ridiculously pretentious. From the moment he starts writing, it becomes extremely toxic. Enjoy!
Don't be curious why the author is so obsessed with currying favor with powerful figures. He lacks writing skills and just follows the historical narrative. He can keep writing up to Zhao Guangyi and give Guo Wei and Guo Rong a boost. When history changes drastically, he can't write anymore. To put it bluntly, by now, he's just a participant in history.
The silkworm is truly pitiful. Just because Zhao Guangyi kissed her on the cheek, she married him as his concubine, and the protagonist even accepted it. He's such a simp that he even harmed his own sister. I can already guess the sister's ending; it'll be another case of the sister dying to prove her point.
The idea of Xiao Can becoming a concubine is disgusting; the protagonist is a real scumbag. Xiao Can was his childhood sweetheart, not his sister. This was common practice for childhood sweethearts in ancient times. Giving away one's childhood sweetheart, or rather, one's sister, as a concubine—does he even know what a concubine is? Note that I said "object," not "person."
What a load of history! And the time travel is ridiculous. The half-classical, half-vernacular writing is exhausting to read, and the protagonist acts like a complete sycophant. He'd be much more suited to be a eunuch in the Qing Dynasty.
