   Highly recommend this book, it's truly amazing! 1. This book is absolutely incredible, my absolute favorite. Lin Yu is incredibly charming! He has so many aliases, spread across various organizations. Each alias is a genius in the eyes of outsiders, unmatched by anyone. No romantic pairing, super handsome, and superb acting skills. If I had to choose, acting would be his life's passion. He's also a master screenwriter, able to create anything illogical with his wisdom, he's incredibly clever. My favorite aliases are (May May) who later becomes (Director), and (Zhu Ming) who is also (Dog Trainer), those two are so adorable (they're the same person, purely because I want to ship them, plus my own imagination from the characters). Anian, Pineapple, and the Magician are also great. The Freedom Alliance has such a wonderful atmosphere!!! Finally—May you be seen by the gods. 2. This one needs no introduction, number one on the Tomato charts. Zero is truly a great character. It's a lighthearted read in the early stages, but the later parts are full of angst. Erjiu, I'll fight you to the death! 3. Tomato's number one emotional story isn't just empty talk. The logic is super strong. It's a pure, lighthearted read without any hardship. Long live the prophet! 4. This one is really super good. You can tell from the title that the protagonist is a fun-loving person. There are no angst, just pure enjoyment. Every character he plays is super, super handsome. My favorite part is probably the Xie and Xiao Xie storyline. My goodness, he's so charming. Many people were inspired by him, or became his fans. Having Xie in one of his names is really something else. 5. 100% Lighthearted read, directly confronting horror games. It's great. 6. Who hasn't seen the cute and charming Yu Nu baby? The protagonist transmigrates into the body of Li Chengqian, yes, the eldest son of Li Shimin in history. He corrects historical regrets, embodying brotherly love and respect, practically a universally adored and beloved figure. There's no possibility of a romantic relationship. He eventually becomes emperor. This book is seriously super, super good! Don't give up after the first part; it gets better and better as you read on. The first part might be a little hard to get into, but it gets really good later on. The plot is engaging, the imagination runs wild, and even the silly baby is growing. Chapter 248 is amazing! But all I want to say is, please update more, author!!

    No female lead, balanced male-female ratio—these are all books I've either finished reading or am currently reading; you can tell by the reading time. I don't like stories where the protagonist encounters high-status individuals, or where a woman unexpectedly appears in a different place. The last book is quite interesting; I immediately decided to read it after seeing the synopsis, and I've now caught up with it. The title alone makes it clear, haha!
