    A great plot that's been overshadowed by its title. My first novel was written by me; it's a time-travel story set in ancient times, amidst martial arts conflicts and chaos in various countries—no romance. Since it was my first time writing, I was inexperienced and just randomly came up with a title, not expecting I couldn't change it after signing the contract. I would appreciate it if you, dear readers, could leave some comments and suggestions if you enjoyed reading my novel. [Facepalm] My second novel: "This is the Jia Mansion, Search It Thoroughly!" I comment on all novels involving this kind of theme; otherwise, the system will think I'm not interested and won't recommend them to me anymore!
