I recommend the two books, Rise of the Humble Class and Water Margins: The Beginning of the Water Margins, to you. The former told the story of a graduate student who specialized in ancient Chinese who had a setback in his employment and returned to the middle of the Ming Dynasty. He rose to power through his historical knowledge and talent. The latter told the story of a martial arts star who had transmigrated to the Water Margins. In order to avoid being forced into Liangshan, he gave up martial arts and turned to literature. Both books were historical novels, filled with traditional Chinese culture and historical elements, giving people a strong ancient atmosphere. I hope you like this fairy's recommendation. Muah ~π
