   These are my two favorite books by Tomato (the author) after reading them for so long. They're both quite long, and I've read them both three times. ① The first book is an ensemble piece, with a strong female lead and no explicit romantic pairing (but the epilogues are sweet). The main storyline is about the female protagonist being exiled to an island full of sinners due to certain events. The island is divided into four factions, corresponding to the diamonds, clubs, spades, and hearts in a deck of cards. The protagonist's main task is to find the King. How does she rise from a nobody with no identity to the top of the diamond faction and escape the island through various connections and calculations? You'll have to read the whole book to find out. The author's descriptions are very detailed, and the writing is excellent. There are also one or two new characters appearing on average every ten chapters, so it doesn't feel overwhelming or slow to follow. (The author's other two ensemble pieces are also very good; I highly recommend them.) ② The greatness of God needs no further explanation. What kind of charm allows a three-year-old book to maintain a consistently high score of 9.6 Despite the ever-changing landscape of the internet? Although it's a common quick transmigration genre, the selection of themes for each small world is quite unusual. You can check the table of contents yourself; many themes are still novel even today. For example: "Punishment World; A Clash Between Light and Darkness," "Strange Tales of Rules; Yucai Middle School," and "The Tears of the Egyptian Pharaoh." Almost everyone I've recommended this book to has fallen into the trap (about twenty or so), and they all say it's very enjoyable. In addition to the typical quick transmigration elements, this story also incorporates a "timeline." Each small world has its own unique timeline. You might think I'm being sarcastic, but if I give you an example, you won't find a better way to describe it. For instance, the second-to-last small world in the story, "The Tears of the Egyptian Pharaoh." I even drew a diagram to help a friend understand this "mind-bending" timeline, which is why they immediately jumped in. The following contains spoilers, please consider carefully before reading. Here's a brief summary of the main content: The female protagonist transmigrates into this small world and conducts on-site research in Egypt. Meanwhile, she bought a seemingly old thangka on the way. During a museum visit, a pillar suddenly collapsed, and the female lead was injured while protecting her best friend. When she woke up, she found herself transported to ancient Egypt. To attract the attention of the male lead (Pharaoh), she resorted to some silly antics. Utilizing modern live-streaming e-commerce techniques, she brought a surge of traffic to the bakery that had taken her in. After some events, the male lead saw her and took her back to the palace. To deepen their relationship, the female lead initiated a chase, with the male lead pursuing her. During their escape, the old thangka she had bought earlier suddenly broke. Eventually, the male lead caught her and gave her a gift—a thangka. However, unlike usual thangkas, it contained a wisp of his soul. Also, because of things the female lead had told him earlier, the male lead realized she didn't belong to their era. He finally let her go. Why is the thangka mentioned repeatedly? Why did the male protagonist know the female protagonist didn't belong there, but only let her go after a long time? It turns out that the old thangka the female protagonist initially obtained was actually the thangka the male protagonist gave her at the end, containing a wisp of his soul. Why "old"? Because of the erosion of time. This also explains why, after their escape, the male protagonist decided to let her go when she was captured. Because during their escape, the thangka shattered, and the male protagonist's soul returned, knowing everything about the past or future. He then gave the female protagonist the new thangka and let her go. If you still find this confusing or hard to understand, feel free to click on the original text and read it carefully!

    💐💐💐On the night of their tenth wedding anniversary, Shen Zhanye looked at the woman, weathered like an old woman from caring for him day and night. "Su Yunzhou, no matter how much I torment and argue, you refuse to divorce me. Is it out of pity and sympathy?" "Think what you want! But I've told you many times. In the world of those from privileged backgrounds, there's only widowhood, not divorce!" Exhausted, she lay beside him, showing no reaction to the topic of divorce. Over the years, she had become numb. "You've been with a disabled man for ten whole years. I'm very grateful. I'll repay you in my next life!" Shen Zhanye gazed at the girl beside him, speaking softly after a long silence. "Next life? If there is a next life, I'd rather become the wind or the rain than be Shen Zhanye's wife again." In these ten years, she had heard enough of Shen Zhanye's tumultuous love affair with his white moonlight, enough of Shen Zhanye accusing her of being a villain who broke up lovers. She was also a person of flesh and blood; why should she endure such torment? When she awoke in the middle of the night, she found Shen Zhanye lying lifeless beside her. On the sheet were two words he had left before his death: "Aiyun." Aiyun, Jiang Aiyun, was the name of Shen Zhanye's unrequited love. Therefore, when Jiang Aiyun blamed Shen Zhanye's death on her and sought revenge for him, she felt a sense of relief, a sense of liberation. If there were an afterlife, she would never again be Shen Zhanye's wife—no, she never wanted to know this man again!

    The first book, "Little Bookstore," not only deserves to be read 10 times, but its key passages should also be copied, memorized, and recited to be unforgettable! The entire book is written in a clear and beautiful style, with a tight and reasonable plot, vivid and lifelike characters, and emotions that strike the heart. Adults will find it nourishing, and students will find it helpful in improving their writing skills. It's a great loss to readers that it wasn't published. The following four books are listed in no particular order; they are classics I selected after reading nearly 200 books on Tomato Bookstore, each with its own shining points. Trust me, add them to your bookshelf, read them, and experience their sweet tenderness, resilient character, and clear wisdom through laughter and tears. Every moment of reading will be worthwhile.
