I recommend the two novels "Noble Daughter at the Gate" and "Marquis of Ten Thousand Families of the Great Han Dynasty" to you. They are both about ancient Chinese styles. "The Noble Daughter at the Door" was an ancient romance novel. It told the story of the female protagonist, Jing Wan, who used the space after her rebirth to open a prosperous shop and save people. "Marquis of Ten Thousand Families of the Great Han Dynasty" was a historical novel. It described the story of a modern person traveling to the Western Han Dynasty two thousand years ago, becoming the son of the champion Marquis Huo Qubing, inheriting the sacred arts of the past and creating eternal peace.
