    This book is truly excellent; it's one of the best martial arts novels I've ever read. However, strictly speaking, it's not particularly related to the Zhenfu Division, so it doesn't quite fit into this category. But it's definitely a good book, full of the spirit of the martial arts world.

    Synopsis: These two books are neither fantasy nor martial arts, and both are excellent stories about the Embroidered Uniform Guard (in my opinion, they are the two best-written books). I especially recommend the first one. The protagonist starts as a poor commoner and conspires with another Embroidered Uniform Guard commander to murder another commander, thus becoming an Embroidered Uniform Guard member himself, and later the commander of the Embroidered Uniform Guard. Character traits: Not a saint, not stupid.
