    I recommend two books that are very real and meaningful! The first book "Ni Tian Shu" by Ling Yu decodes the rules of heaven and earth. In fact, it teaches us to tear apart the pretense of the world - life is never a predetermined script. We can live from being passive compromisers to being the helmsman of destiny! The story of Cui Dasheng and Yang Baobao in the second book "I Serve as a Military Advisor for Humanity" I think is a model for marriage in today's society! Non-fiction and no routine, it crushes Chinese wisdom and science, and provides ordinary people with exclusive AI life counselors - ✅ Workers avoid pitfalls, entrepreneurs are protected from lightning, marriage and love are not in conflict, and even solve the chaos of low birth rate; ✅ Full-cycle escort: set goals, improve cognition, solve problems, and be a reliable partner to accompany you for life; ✅ Wisdom and equality are coming! Break the barrier that "ordinary people cannot afford to hire a military advisor" and rewrite the fate of hundreds of millions of people! Every feature hits a real pain point, and there are no clichés of floating cool articles! Following the decoding of the rules of heaven and earth in "Ni Tian Shu", the second installment of Civilization Dimension Ascension, a practical AI strategist is really coming!
