One afternoon, in a corner of the antique market, a small storytelling booth had drawn a crowd.

A group of listeners sat around him: some were antique-market stallholders, some were customers hoping to find a bargain, and others were passersby drawn in by the story.
The storyteller cleared his throat and began: “Now, Liu Quji, Prince of Guangchuan in the Han dynasty, was a noble kinsman of the imperial house.

The plot of the story is exciting and the author's writing is profound. Once you read the novel, you can't stop reading it.
