The second is a gangster novel, *The Underworld*, which is thrilling and full of twists and turns—perfect for excitement. The third is a fantasy novel, *The Night Watchman of Da Ning*, which blends martial arts with the struggle for supremacy in a dynasty—grand in scale and ambitious—perfect for inspiration. The fourth is *Under the Sky*, a martial arts novel that divides the world into martial arts zones.
