   This book is my absolute favorite! 🥀 The protagonist's character is incredibly cool. He doesn't care what others say, he only cares about actions. He doesn't accept empty promises, he demands tangible, concrete results. He's also quite good at training dogs! 🥀 It's truly, truly, truly amazing. The plot is fantastic and deeply moving. The author's writing is superb—I'm not kidding! I even want to forget everything and reread it all.

   First line: Snow falls on plum branches, spring is near. Second line: Wind returns to willow bank, the year is about to begin. Horizontal scroll: Sleep and relax. How should I describe such a banished immortal? "Standing like a jade tree, smiling like the bright moon in one's embrace." "Raising a cup, he rolls his eyes at the blue sky, as radiant as a jade tree before the wind." "A noble young master among the clouds, his jade bones are elegant and graceful." "His beauty is unparalleled, unmatched in the world." "The jade forest is ultimately separated from the dust of the world. Look at him wearing a crane cloak, still a banished immortal." "Radiant as the morning light floating on water, quiet as the gentle breeze combing the willow leaves." "The young master should only be seen in paintings, I alone know the essence of this. He writes until the water and sky end, surely not a person of this mortal world." No, that's not it, it seems something is missing! "Sober, I sit before the flowers; drunk, I sleep beneath them." In the end, I chose a line from the book: "Thirty years of snow brewing spring, the aftertaste is long-lasting. — It is the fragrance of plum blossoms." Note: The plot is not there, but the rouge is perfect. Those who prioritize plot should proceed with caution (but that doesn't mean there's no plot; the author has said they're not very good at writing it, but it's still quite well-written). I'm a sucker for good looks, so it really appeals to me.

   The first five are ancient-style novels with two male protagonists. The later ones are okay in my opinion (although a few are a bit melodramatic). I highly recommend the first one; it has a low rating, but I think the plot is quite good and the writing is also good, so you can give it a try. The sixth and ninth books are both quick transmigration novels. Some of the worlds are quite nice. The eighth and eleventh books (lots of couples, and the writing is also good), and the seventh one is also good; you can check them out. In summary, the first five are ancient-style novels, and then there are two quick transmigration novels. Overall, I highly recommend the first one, the seventh one, the eighth one, and the second one. The last one is a bit silly; you can check it out if you're interested.
