    This is my favorite palace intrigue novel. It's completely different from those silly, love-obsessed historical romance novels.

I even felt a lump in my throat when reading the heart-wrenching parts. Every character is unique, and the villains are both pitiful and hateful.

The protagonist in this story infinitely extracts the abilities of mythical beasts from the Classic of Mountains and Seas, ultimately clashing with the Heavenly Dao, but is defeated in that great battle. He's reborn with no memories of his previous life. I think the author's writing style is brilliant; I strongly recommend everyone read both of these books.

Fourth book: It turns out that the refined Su Shen also has someone he wants to protect. Fifth book: A dedicated worker, Su Shen, is online every day, stockpiling content. Sixth book: Sister Su, with her domineering style, gives you warmth in the darkness.
