Reader comments
This book is very interesting! I especially like Liu Yu. Although he was born in poverty, he is very filial and will not let his stepmother suffer even if he is hungry. Moreover, he is very powerful, and a dragon totem even appeared on his body in Zhulin Temple! But I don't like his father Liu Qiao. How could he throw away Liu Yu just because his mother died when he was born? Fortunately, Liu Yu still has the love of his aunt and stepmother. The author of this book is also very good, and the historical stories he wrote are so exciting. I would recommend this book to other friends!
A very detailed book, written very objectively
After reading the chapter about Liu Yu, I am so obsessed with him.
