    Recently I have been loving reading period novels again, some new favorites 🍀The first book: secretly punishing rape and eradicating evil, robbing the rich and helping the poor, rescuing cannon fodder within the scope of ability, Brother Zha escapes to attract the attention of the heroine, and even gives away the younger brother. The heroine directly steals the treasures of Brother Zha, his fiancé and the enemy, and constantly catches enemy special gangsters [cool] 🍀The third book: The evil host and the evil system are fearless, and go further and further on the evil road 🍀The fourth book: The aborigines are really crazy about killing them. Since the binding system knew that they were cannon fodder, they stopped pretending. There are many male and female protagonists in the world, but there is basically no return when meeting a female protagonist.
