   For those of you experiencing a reading slump, check out this newly discovered, fast-paced, action-packed novel: *That Beggar Starts Again*. The protagonist, Chen Shouzhou, is a starving beggar who starts out eating plaster from walls and being trampled in the mud by a local bully. But he doesn't play by the rules. He secretly mixes croton powder into clay, tricking the bully into eating it, causing him to soil himself on the spot. The whole town gathers to laugh at him, and he makes a quick getaway with the stolen silver. From then on, this beggar is completely unrestrained. The richest man forces him to marry into his family? He steals all the dowry and chases after him calling him "father-in-law." A thug wants to cut off his hand? He gives the girl a box of color-changing rouge. When the officials come to raid his home? He brews a pot of diuretic tea, making the officials line up in the outhouse. A corrupt merchant monopolizes the grain market? He directly puts croton powder and rotten grain into the granary, causing all the rats in the city to have diarrhea. From beginning to end, the protagonist relies on one trick: playing the fool, using underhanded tactics, and feigning weakness to outsmart the enemy. He seems cowardly and despicable, but in reality, every step he takes is designed to trap you to death. The first three chapters are fast-paced and guaranteed to be satisfying.
