Instead of starting with a small worldview that gradually expands into a larger one, it draws the reader in with a grand, expansive worldview – a concept rarely seen before. Although it's only a few dozen pages long, it was incredibly engaging. Many books these days focus on weak protagonists or fan fiction, but this one takes the opposite approach, gradually building a vast world to captivate the reader.

The case details in the novel are realistic, even including some cases that have been reported in the news, making it chilling to think about. At the same time, the author's portrayal of the characters' psychology is very precise. Whether it is Liu Li's strength and wisdom or the villain's insidiousness and cunning, they are vividly presented to the reader. [KISS] The second book, *The Umbrella of Relationships*, unfolds from the perspective of Li Jing, the director of the city's police station. It tells the story of how he went from a passionate police intern to experiencing various setbacks and temptations, and finally ascended the path to power. Caught in the vortex of power, Li Jing is forced to confront the entanglements and power struggles of various factions, including the powerful, superiors, subordinates, merchants, and the underworld. His heart also constantly grapples with the conflict between ideals and reality. The novel not only reveals the dark side of society but also offers a profound analysis of human weaknesses. Through Li Jing's ups and downs, readers can feel the distortion and struggle of humanity driven by power and desire, and the struggle for survival in complex social relationships. [KISS] The third book, *My Bloodstained Jianghu (When an Honest Man Picks Up a Knife)*, follows the growth of the protagonist, Li Xiaohu, telling the story of how he transforms from an ordinary boy into a powerful figure in the Jianghu world through various hardships and challenges. In this blood-soaked Jianghu, Li Xiaohu not only faces violent conflicts but also navigates complex interpersonal relationships and power struggles.

    A brand new masterpiece, a stunning debut! This book is a true masterpiece, worthy of being called a legend! The protagonist transforms into a demon of savagery, taking it upon himself to eradicate evil. Each swing of his sword against evil is like adding another thread to his own life. His journey stretches from south to north, across thousands of miles, leaving no evil untouched and no defilement unpurified in his path. He wields not only cold weapons, but also the "fist of extreme justice," each strike imbued with anger at the injustices of the world and an unwavering pursuit of righteousness. Wherever this fist strikes, evil recedes and justice is revealed, moving all who behold him. "The rage of mortals!"—This is not only the protagonist's inner cry, but also a resonance with all mortals struggling in hardship and yearning for justice. He single-handedly ignites the fire of anger in people's hearts, inspiring their resistance and struggle against unjust fate. With its unique setting, captivating plot, and profound themes, this book successfully creates a protagonist who is both ruthless and passionate, both lonely and powerful. Every action he takes is exhilarating; every decision he makes is thought-provoking. This is absolutely a masterpiece worth reading and savoring again and again!
