I recommend the following novels that reflect society and people's livelihood to you: "The Era of the Kings": In the late Northern Song Dynasty, society was in turmoil, people's lives were difficult, and thieves were rampant. The righteous people of the Jianghu stepped forward to seek the welfare of the people. "Reporting Li Er's Rebellion at the Beginning of the Tang Dynasty": The protagonist, Chen Xu, started from washing his feet to creating a scientific system. He improved the people's livelihood through a series of social actions such as developing the people's livelihood, helping to ascend the throne, conquering the east and the west, and making the country a duke. "Tackling the Small Society": The university society is a small society. The protagonist Fang Xinghe reflects the employment status and social problems faced by modern college students through his actions of conquering the small society and reaching the peak of his life. I hope you like my recommendation. Muah ~
