   Self-recommendation... I'm recommending a classic martial arts novel I wrote. While I wouldn't dare claim every word is a gem, every sentence a masterpiece, it's a labor of love, painstakingly crafted day and night. The entire text contains absolutely no magic, immortal arts, magical treasures, or so-called systems. It avoids clichés and conventional structures, drawing inspiration from Jin Yong's stories and Gu Long's martial arts world, while incorporating reflections on human nature and the diverse aspects of life, embellished with poetry and songs, striving for innovation. The writing is close to historical fact. I won't boast about the writing style, plot details, or descriptions, but I believe it has its merits, which you'll immediately recognize. The book is over 1.12 million words long, with 520 chapters already completed. It's being revised and polished before release, with two or three updates daily. Your support is welcome. I'm determined to carry the banner of martial arts, continuing the classic tradition, even if it's too much to carry. If this book flops, I'll write another martial arts novel and continue flopping—a testament to the pride and stubbornness of a scholar. Those who know me understand my worries; those who don't think I'm boasting.

   At the end of the Yuan Dynasty, the people suffered greatly, and anti-Yuan forces rose up everywhere. However, none of them gained much traction until the appearance of the one-eyed stone man. "Don't underestimate this stone man with only one eye; he stirred up rebellion across the Yellow River." Who wielded it? "Once it enters the world, all things perish; heaven and earth change color, and grass and trees grieve. Rivers weep, mountains tremble, and the winds of change rise from our generation!" This refers to the *Fire Dragon Scripture*. What kind of extraordinary book is it? Among the four major sects of the martial arts world—Phoenix Hall, Heavenly Craft Fortress, Sichuan Tang Clan, and Thunderbolt Hall—there are swirling grudges, new hatreds, romantic entanglements, and brotherhoods, all intertwined and inextricably linked. Each supports a faction, openly and secretly fighting over the *Fire Dragon Scripture*, unaware that they are all pawns in someone else's game to dominate the world. Who is the mastermind behind this game? He was dark-skinned, glib-tongued, and illiterate. Later, he went blind, yet he encountered all sorts of men and women in his life: some gentle and considerate, some willful and capricious, some charming and adorable, some beautiful and intelligent, some gentle and refined, some bright and clear as the moon… Why did they all fall for him at first sight? Were they all blind? His parents were murdered when he was young, and he wandered the world, suffering countless hardships: first, he was poisoned and blinded; then, all his tendons and veins were severed, rendering him crippled; later, he was falsely accused of murder and rape… How did he survive these desperate circumstances, defy fate, swiftly behead his enemies, and sweep across the land to pacify all? 😄
