    Especially noteworthy are the novel stories in parts 1 and 2. The concept is fresh and imaginative, depicting the bizarre world of the Classic of Mountains and Seas. The female protagonist is an ancient divine tree, the most beautiful woman in the Six Realms. She grows from a love-struck girl into a guardian deity of the Six Realms, naturally a coveted elixir for cultivators. The two supreme beings of the Six Realms are twin brothers, each with an identical face—one black, one white; one cold, one warm; one righteous, one evil—yet both fall in love with Ruomu, for she is their only antidote in the Six Realms. Even gods who cannot obtain love will force it… Part 2: The author's language is concise, the story captivating, and the logic rigorous. Set against the backdrop of a couple's dual transmigration, the entire book unfolds gently. The female protagonist transmigrates into the body of a merchant's concubine's daughter, possessing unparalleled beauty. While searching for her husband who also transmigrated, she encounters two cunning princes. The elder brother is a powerful prince, skilled in both literature and martial arts, who schemes relentlessly to marry her. The younger brother, the emperor's youngest son, is showered with affection. To win the female lead's heart, he eliminates his elder brother, ascends the throne, lures her into the palace, imprisons her, and forces himself on her… The female lead eventually finds her time-traveling husband, only to discover everything has changed. 3. A bit absurd. Initially, you think it's the male lead, but he's killed by the third male lead. The third male lead uses all sorts of trickery and coaxing to marry the female lead, but she runs away after the wedding. She encounters the second male lead, who pursues her relentlessly but fails. Then the third male lead finds her, and later the male lead miraculously survives and returns to seek revenge on the third male lead, joining the struggle for the female lead…
