    The characters in each book are very novel and there are no meal replacements. The third book is very beautiful and the fourth book is different from other books. The heroine never fell in love with the hero from the beginning to the end and was always sober. The first one is very sweet and the heroine is very cute and smart. The second book requires no introduction. The writing is very good and the story is very interesting.

The threads are silky smooth in the early stage, and fierce in the later stage! Male 1: Separate half of the true soul, I wanted to go straight to the road if 1+1 is greater than 2! As a result, he was so angry that he was assigned to a female partner. His eyes were red with anger and his head was smoking. He came to attack and found the wrong person [face covering] The second male: You and I are in different ways, so you'd better not be tempted by me! Then he was pressed repeatedly to pick out the wool, and he was so angry that he went crazy and arrested people to ask for interest! Man 3: Sister, what bad thoughts can I have? [Shy] I just want to walk with you for a while! The true identity is actually... Male 4: Standing at the peak of Tianyan, with strength to break through the void, why can't I do it?!!

    [Trilogy of Traveling and Making Trouble] First released on the entire Internet!! If you don't cause trouble during time travel, how can you just lie down and be cannon fodder? [Like] In the first movie "My Prince is a Shiba Inu", the palace maid Su Xiaotang lost her perfect attendance award because the prince lay on the ground and put his head on her palm, calling "Mom". - Her dog turned into a prince. Two turtles followed: a eunuch who was extremely slow, and a guard who could only say "Who can I bite?" Teach the dog to be a prince and the turtle to be a eunuch, and at the same time, take care of those who want to harm them one by one. [Like] The second part "Dressed as Shangguan Wan'er, I will serve as a social animal for Wu Zetian" The Queen: "Female talented people and hold orders. They only work and don't sleep." This time, Party A went to court at all times, changed needs at any time, and was "dragged out and executed" at every turn. Shangguan Wan'er: Roll it up. By the way, Cui Shi was promoted from a collaborator to one of his own. ——Building a career is fake, but living until you are paid is real. [Like] The third part "Daji's Diary" Su Daji died suddenly after working overtime and transformed into Su Daji. The tyrant picked her up and said, "You are my woman." Later, it was discovered that the gods were all the KPIs of the gods: Jiang Ziya painted cakes, Shen Gongbao took the public exam, and Bi Gan argued. Daji: I didn't do anything, they insisted on acting. ——This diary is the only true version of the Fengshen List. --- [Blow kiss] [Common highlights of the trilogy] ✅ Time-traveling heroine × outrageous start | Counter-routine × sweet pet ✅ She is responsible for causing trouble, and he is responsible for cleaning up ✅ Laughing from beginning to end, neither cruel nor bloody [Already planted] Three times the happiness, three times the top.
