   These are all complete novels. As a seasoned bookworm, the first one is incredibly funny and rich in content, without any unnecessary emotional issues. All the relationships are one-on-one. The second one, "Xi Hua Zhi," has a clear goal, and the author's portrayal of the protagonist, Hua Zhi, is very insightful. It's super good; I even reread it several times when I'm looking for something to read. The third one is also incredibly good. It's a book where the male protagonist transmigrates to ancient times, becomes wealthy, and leads the dynasty to live a life similar to modern times.
