   How can this thing be tied to a nameless thing? It's so funny. You can laugh from the beginning to the end. The heroine has a very strong ability to survive and has a great imagination. The heroine is traveling through the book. It probably means that the heroine keeps changing her voice. She slaps the original heroine in the face just by the way. She is not following the alchemy stream. (The last two books are what I like to read. One is about the Goddess of the Liver Cultivating Immortals, which has a few tricks up its sleeve, and the other is a thoughtful farming novel, set in the Song Dynasty. The whole book quotes classics, and is thoughtful and thoughtful, but not empty.)
