   The first book: "I will swear to serve my country to the death, defend my homeland, and protect my people. I am willing to use my life and blood to build this land."

"Since black and white share the same player, then let's overturn this game!" —"My name is Sheng An, Sheng as in prosperous times, An as in peace and prosperity for the country." —"My name is Qiu Yu, Qiu as in a thousand autumns, Yu as in favorable weather." "Sheng'an, autumn rain. May this prosperous age bring peace and prosperity to the nation, lasting for millennia, with favorable weather and abundant harvests.
