    Book recommendation! Today I'm featuring a book by one of my followers. I recommend any book by authors who follow me… — *Following in His Footsteps from Youthful Days to Radiant Youth*. At a classmate's birthday party, he took advantage of her drunkenness and took her to bed. She couldn't describe her feelings afterward—regret, anger—but nothing compared to the shock of the sexual experience he gave her. He had never seen her like this before. How could he do those things to her? Where was his usual impeccable attire? His dashing demeanor? He was wildly domineering in bed, with inexhaustible energy, but outside of bed, he was pitiful, like a child who had done something wrong, anxiously awaiting punishment. Truly two different faces. The novel's overall tone is sweet. Even during their separations, they think of each other and share many delicious foods and beautiful scenes. I hope everyone can experience it firsthand. Search for Ji Lanhui on Weibo or join the group (754691152) for the uncut version. The censored and uncensored versions offer completely different experiences. Those who want to read this book should definitely search for the Webtoon group (754691152) to read the uncut version. You'll then discover that all of Tomato's other works are mere imitations.

    I'd call this a masterpiece! It almost rivals *The Grave Robbers' Chronicles* and *Ghost Blows Out the Light*. The author's previous novel included his own experiences verbatim. He even received a 7-year sewing machine gift package! After that, he wrote this book. The only downside is that there are too many things the author dared not write! Some readers even got hooked on tomb raiding because of this novel!
