    I hope all my godparents will take a look at this book. Aside from the first chapter being a bit long and rambling for setup, the rest is incredibly exciting. If you don't like it, feel free to criticize me. This book is entirely handwritten; I've poured a tremendous amount of effort into it. I know hard work doesn't guarantee success, and relying on sympathy won't get you anywhere. I just want to give my work a chance. The following is an excerpt from the novel. If you like it, feel free to read it. I, Tianjiao, would like to thank all my godparents and give you all a big thank you. Content: I activated the Burning Heaven Technique, slammed my right foot into the ground, and used the momentum to lunge forward, pulling my right fist behind me. Then, like an arrow released from a bow, I slammed it towards Yin Hong's face. She didn't move. Only when my fist was less than three inches from her nose did she activate the Fire Phoenix Technique. Then, she gently raised her right hand, palm up, her five fingers brushing against the inside of my wrist. Despite using very little force, she completely neutralized my full-force punch. At the same time, her palm smoothly pressed against the back of my fist, her five fingers snapping together, and she suddenly exerted force, pushing me several meters away. "Your punches are not only slow, but also weak. Using the Burning Heaven Technique on you is a complete waste." The words had barely left her lips when Yin Hong was already beside me. Then, her fists and feet rained down on me like a storm. A hook punch struck my jaw, sending my head snapping back. Before the fall was even over, a low sweeping kick slammed into the back of my knee. My knee buckled, and I fell forward to my knees. The instant I hit her knee, she slammed into my face. I managed to cross my arms to protect my chest, but I was still knocked backward several times before crashing to the ground. My vision blurred. I tried to push myself up with my hands, but halfway there, Yin Hong swept her leg across, kicking the side of my ankle, causing me to lose my balance and fall to the ground again. Then came my back, shoulders, waist... The relentless attacks were like a storm, each strike landing precisely on the point where I could muster the strength. I turned around and unleashed the full power of the Burning Heaven Technique, frantically swinging my arms in an attempt to defend. But Yin Hong's attacks were too fast; I couldn't defend at all. When I blocked her head, she kicked me in the abdomen; when I blocked her abdomen, she punched me in the face. Soon, my vision became increasingly blurry, and I could only rely on instinct for a nearly ineffective defense. When the final, heavy hand chop struck my neck, I collapsed to the ground like a lump of mud, barely alive, blood continuously flowing from my seven orifices.

    Reader note

    This book is truly captivating, especially for its incredibly precise attention to detail. Whether it's the shouts of vendors on the street, the clinking of enamel mugs at home, or the everyday chatter of neighbors mending clothes, everything exudes the unique warmth and life of that era. Reading it feels like stepping back in time, the atmosphere instantly immersive. The emotional storylines are also delicately and realistically portrayed. Family bonds aren't just passive warmth; there's the stubborn concern of the older generation, and the genuine bickering and protectiveness between siblings. Romantic love isn't dramatic; it's the calculated calculation of pooling money for a piece of fabric, the natural act of slipping a hot water bottle to each other on a cold day. Even friendships bear the marks of the era: sharing half a pack of cigarettes under the wall, the unwavering loyalty of saying "I'll help you" in times of trouble. These sentiments bring the characters to life, making them not two-dimensional figures, but real, flesh-and-blood people from our everyday lives. While it's published online and inevitably includes the typical "satisfying" elements of online fiction—like the protagonist achieving success through their own abilities and retaliating against those who bully them, making for a satisfying read—it doesn't fall into the trap of "satisfying for the sake of satisfaction." The story's portrayal of the era's complexities and the struggles and resilience of ordinary people in their daily lives is quite substantial. If a few slightly rough plot points were polished and some transitions smoothed out, it could easily become a more substantial literary work, far more substantial than those "satisfying" novels that only seek momentary gratification. Recently, I've read quite a few sweet romance novels and fast-paced "satisfying" stories, most of which I forget after finishing them, but this one has stayed with me for a long time. It doesn't just make you laugh and move on; it allows you to slow down, experience life alongside the characters, and feel that bittersweet, steadfast spirit of life. I sincerely recommend everyone to take the time to read it, not just for the thrill, but to savor the historical flavor and human warmth hidden in the details—you'll have a different kind of feeling.

    This book is absolutely amazing! The author even thoughtfully included illustrations featuring the First Emperor himself, brimming with detail. The mobile phone and modern people are portrayed more as "assistive tools," not stealing the show, but rather fulfilling the beautiful ending that countless people envisioned for the Qin Dynasty—the First Emperor lived to the ripe old age of 86, Fusu was portrayed as increasingly outstanding, and the Hundred Schools of Thought no longer argued and debated amongst themselves, but instead worked together with one heart and one mind, striving side by side for the prosperous future the First Emperor spoke of. This setting is truly touching! My favorite part of the book is the chapters about the three northeastern provinces; they were so enjoyable! I highly recommend everyone to read it!

    It's arguably the pinnacle of fantasy comedy! A world-class powerhouse disguises himself as a complete weakling to roam the heavens, with gods, kings, and immortal emperors all playing disguises—a premise that inherently provides a satisfying experience. From a clay figure in a newbie village causing a sect-wide uproar, to a shopping list turning into a sword manual and underwear becoming a chaotic treasure, every scene is filled with adorable contrasts and hilarious moments of overwhelming power. The plot is wildly imaginative, featuring alter egos fighting each other, villainous plots turning into fireworks, and schizophrenic romances. Absolute strength collides with a laid-back, survival-oriented approach, creating a wonderfully unique experience. It offers the exhilarating feeling of an invincible protagonist while also providing laugh-out-loud moments of absurd comedy. High-energy from start to finish, it's a true stress-relieving masterpiece!

    This is an incredibly good work, perfect for those with a strong preference for extreme sexual desires!! It's a dual-male flow novel, and the protagonist's personality is absolutely amazing—he's a madman!!! The other protagonist is even more enigmatic, seemingly innocent but actually cunning. This combination of two powerful characters is simply divine!

Su Chengwen's appearance brings him a ray of light and teaches him many things, helping him understand feelings, responsibility, and proper family ties.
