   The first two are completed works by the same author. The author favors logic-based stories, the male lead is incredibly intelligent, and the supporting characters aren't lacking in intelligence either. The author's "Legend" was a phenomenal success, and "Ten Days" not only continues the mind-bending style but also reaches new heights: "I am Qi Xia, and I'm about to start lying!" 😁😁😁 The last book is a personal addition—a cultivation novel. It's female-centric, so please ignore this if you're bothered by that. 😊😊😊
