    History + Imagination + Cunning Male Lead + Suspense Everyone knows the immortals are good, but only fame and fortune are unforgettable. Where are the generals and ministers of ancient and modern times? A mound of weeds covers their desolate graves. Everyone knows the immortals are good, but only gold and silver are unforgettable. They only hate that they don't have enough, but when they have plenty, their eyes are closed in death. Everyone knows the immortals are good, but only their beloved wives are unforgettable. While the ruler is alive, she speaks of love and affection every day; when the ruler dies, she goes with another. Everyone knows the immortals are good, but only their children and grandchildren are unforgettable. Many parents throughout history have been devoted to their children, but who has ever seen filial children and grandchildren? In the flowing years and boundless mountains and rivers of this land, countless relics are scattered. Their clues are faintly discernible, yet they remain a mystery. From the Brahma chants of the snowy plains of the Western Regions to the dynastic bronzes of the Central Plains; from the broken walls and steles of the southern frontier to the colorful flying apsaras of the northern desert veins. Behind all this, it seems someone is using the entirety of Chinese history as a framework, playing a game of chess that spans the ages—a silent contest where mountains and rivers form the board, and dynasties the pieces. The final chapter of the legend has never been written, because the story has only just begun. This book is incredibly exciting, slow-paced at the beginning, and fast-paced later on. The places the protagonists travel to are extremely mysterious, seemingly unattainable. The protagonist is not a saint, and their identity is shrouded in mystery. Moreover, the author is very responsible; the more readers there are, the more updates they will produce.

    These four books are a must!!! [1] A fusion of the worlds of Tomb Raider Chronicles and Ghost Blows Out the Light [2] The psychological portrayal and detailed description are both very successful. [3] Able to write suspenseful tomb raiding stories in a style that blends eroticism and fantasy. [4] It's a pretty good fanfiction.
