Republican Era: King of the Changbai Ginseng

The "Crossing the Guandong" movement was essentially a rebellion against the Manchu conquest of China. While Qing dynasty proponents often claim that the Manchu conquest brought "Inner Manchus" to the Central Plains, the truth is that it wasn't the Manchu rulers but Hong Xiuquan (the "Heavenly King").

You're not writing a farming novel set in the late Qing Dynasty and early Republic of China?! In that era and place, did anyone have time for a leisurely life? If you transmigrate to the Qing Dynasty and don't rebel, what kind of life is that?!

The donkey dung ball looks shiny and down-to-earth. But in reality, in the heavens, the plot twists and turns are not exciting enough, and the problem-solving is sluggish and inefficient.

While it's supposed to be a time-travel story, it feels more like it's about indigenous people; it doesn't capture the feel of modern life. Also, the power of rifles is generally downplayed! Humans could conquer the primitive North American continent during Columbus's time, but by the late Qing Dynasty, with advanced weaponry, muskets couldn't even kill wild boars or bears. Rifled muskets, let alone wild boars, couldn't even defeat a charging herd of bison against a platoon of muskets.

I was initially interested, but after seeing the synopsis featuring a female healer, a female hunter, a female bandit, and a landlady, I lost interest. It seemed like there were a lot of beautiful women, like something out of an urban harem novel.

There are always some people who are so annoying. Historical fiction demands the protagonist rebel, become emperor, and advance technological advancements; urban fiction demands the protagonist buy Bitcoin, bet on sports, become the world's richest person, and ideally, buy the Earth and become its owner; entertainment fiction demands the protagonist dominate the entertainment industry, be able to…

I've read over ten chapters and I'm still completely confused. What abilities does the protagonist have after transmigrating? Just be strong and a good cook? And then he just goes to work? Didn't he have any special skills or some kind of cheat code? If not, for an ordinary person, surviving in Northeast China during that special period was already lucky.

These are the wooden rafts placed on the Yalu and Songhua Rivers.

This is a lighthearted, feel-good novel about the struggles of people in the late Qing Dynasty, disguised as a rebirth story. It's okay at first, but then it becomes pretentious and ultimately nonsensical. It uses modern thinking to depict the past of local people in the late Qing Dynasty, almost completely ignoring the premise of rebirth.

Why add "King of Guandong" to the title? In that era, if you really wanted to dig for ginseng, you could become the King of Guandong.
