    I think these three books are good! First, passion! Witnessing the final madness of the Han people! The highest honor of Han civilization! The most tragic era of the Han people!!! Secondly, the writing is exquisite, making the author a truly talented reader. It's so captivating that you can't put the book down. It's as thrilling as *The Legend of the Condor Heroes*! Thirdly, although this novel is very similar to "The Son-in-Law," I didn't understand "The Son-in-Law" very well, but this one was relatively easier to understand 😊.
