Muzi’s Life in the Northern Song Dynasty

I watched it while cursing, and I basically finished watching it all. The reason I finished reading is that I felt the author's character, Mu Zi, shared many similarities with my own life and personality. Both are quick to anger, fiercely opposed to evil, soft-hearted, incredibly lazy, lack a sense of discipline as leaders, prone to both criticizing and empathizing with superiors, and often…

The story is set in the lower rungs of society and involves time travel; the writing style is quite good, and the plot unfolds logically. It's worth recommending. The reasons it's not more popular are probably twofold: first, the beginning is far removed from the imperial court, which most readers who enjoy fast-paced, action-packed stories wouldn't have the patience to continue; second, the…

The author stated in the synopsis that they would try to tell the story of an ordinary person traveling to ancient times in a lighthearted and humorous way. However, for me, it was anything but lighthearted. While some things were unavoidable when you put yourself in the situation, and some very close brothers and confidantes had to die—but this is supposed to be a novel!

Having read countless books over thirty years, from Jin Yong and Gu Long to Liang Yusheng and Wen Ruian, and various modern fantasy novels... Only this one has truly touched my heart! While the plot may seem calm on the surface, it is captivating, full of twists and turns, and brimming with humor. My conclusion: the author is a typical womanizer!

Because the author completely failed to deliver on what you described in the synopsis. The author felt that an ending was necessary; many things, no matter how good or bad, should have a conclusion. However, as a person, no matter how justified one is, one is still just a person. Once Qingqing has avenged himself, he can die. Perhaps that would be more reasonable.

I wanted to write with depth, but I lacked it; I wanted to write a lighthearted, enjoyable story, but I failed. It's just pointless whining. I'm abandoning this project.

It's worth a read; it's a different style from typical "feel-good" novels, but you can see a lot of idealism in it. The author likely romanticized his own unhappiness in life and projected it onto the book. There are multiple female leads, many of whom are married women or widows, suggesting the author is a womanizer. Almost all the women around the protagonist die, which is a significant flaw.

I stopped reading after fifty chapters. The protagonist is always a bit slow on the uptake. Remember, he's a transmigrator; he's different from everyone else. Why all the fuss? Since the transport officer is a complete idiot, does he have to rely on past experience to gain power?

It depicts the dreams of ordinary people, highlighting the importance of self-awareness: those who aspire to wear the crown must bear its weight; and a life of wealth and leisure is perhaps the most beautiful.

I don't understand why it got such a high score. Didn't you see how many people criticized it in the end? The author was capricious. The protagonist and everyone around him were quite conflicted. He neglected his fiancée for two years, getting entangled with a bunch of old widows and secondhand women.
