    My sister Xian definitely deserves a place in that realm. Ten thousand years ago, she began her schemes, manipulating everyone in the three thousand minor worlds for her own domain. Ten thousand years ago, she instigated the subordinates of the Star Pavilion to dissect their spiritual bones in rebellion against the Heavenly Dao. Ten thousand years later, she led the disciples of the Nan family in a great battle against the Heavenly Dao. It's laughable that they still believe they are truly the Star Pavilion members who fought alongside their patriarch ten thousand years ago.

    "I wish you would gather more of this, for it is the most cherished symbol of longing": The novel *Xie Xie Jun Xing* (谢貴行) opens with an absurd story set in the late Tang Dynasty, focusing on six heroes of traditional Chinese medicine exorcising evil spirits. Descendants of historical figures such as Tang Banzong, Wei Xiaozheng, Tang Xiaozang, Hou Yi, Sun Ashi, Song Yixian, Wang Xiaoshun, and Zhan Le all make appearances. It depicts the myriad aspects of human life while incorporating modern elements. A work that blends antiquity with fresh humor—a truly delightful read!

    These three books are games of competition where heaven and earth are the board and all living beings are the pieces. They are highly rated. *The Godslayer* and *The Ten Suns* are the "chess pieces," while *The God of Drama* is the "character." The "chess pieces" are determined from the perspective of the player, through a game of strategy; the "character" is determined from the perspective of the director, through the design and execution of a play. *The Godslayer* uses all living beings as pieces and the world as the board, reincarnating 1,122,900,18 times over 30,318,0486 years, destroying the Kelvin system. *The Ten Suns* uses human lives as pieces and the end as the board, using cunning for over 70 years to escape the end. *The God of Drama* uses characters as pieces and the script as the board, restarting six generations over 2400 years, restarting civilization. Slayer of Gods: "A small courtyard, a chessboard. A world, the birth and death of a race. The world is vast, so vast that even the supreme beings become mere pawns; the world is small, so small that victory or defeat can be decided on the chessboard alone." Ten Suns: "With human lives as pawns, and the end as the chessboard, I shall be the player. So, who... Will challenge me to a game?" God of Play: "Do you know the difference between a pawn and a character? A pawn is inanimate; it only has two sides, black and white, either enemy or ally... But a character is alive; it can change from black to white, or from white to black... If you see the world as a chessboard, then you can only control your own black pieces... But if you see the world as a play, then all the pawns, black and white, enemy and ally, can become 'characters' for my use... You are destined to lose this game, because your pawns are also under my control."

    It's been a very, very long time since I've read a novel with such a completely strong female lead. From her rebirth to the present, every move the princess makes, every scheme she sets up, is intricately linked. Every character is vividly portrayed, especially the female characters, who are multifaceted and memorable. The princess is calm and composed yet possesses strong empathy; she has a broad vision yet is attentive to the common people; she has clear goals and a sharp mind; she is talented and adept at recognizing and utilizing talent—truly a born ruler. I love this novel so much; its writing style, plot, and themes all deserve to be seen by more people.

    Zhou Qiye first saw Chen Suiyi when they brushed past each other at the elevator entrance. His first impression was that she was beautiful, but his second glance made him think she looked like a little nun. Everyone noticed the Buddhist prayer beads on her left wrist. Shen Yubai suddenly turned to him and asked if he believed in Buddhism. Zhou Qiye, chewing on a lollipop, grinned wildly, raising an eyebrow at Shen Yubai with an arrogant and conceited air. He said, "Sorry, I don't believe in Buddhism, and I certainly don't believe in fate." As he said this, he didn't stop walking away, and he certainly didn't expect Chen Suiyi to look up at him.
