Friendly reminder: A Dao is a high-quality writer; his other works are also worth checking out. 2. *Restarting Life, Ex-Wife, You Get Up and Speak First* Completed.

Military Classics: * **Bright Sword (by Du Liang)** (Completed) Recommendation: Far surpassing the vividness and richness of the TV series, it combines accessibility, loyalty, passion, fearlessness, realism, smooth writing, and humor. It brought tears to my eyes countless times while I stayed up all night reading it! * **Divine Classic: A Guide to Immortality in the Mortal World (also known as: Ling Tian Ji)** (Completed) Recommendation: A work that carries profound philosophical thoughts in novel form! Its lofty perspective, unique conception, self-consistent logic, profound ideas, and humorous language make it a rare and inspiring read among online novels!
