    When discussing Republican-era novels, one cannot overlook Gu Chang'an's works. The plots are truly captivating and suspenseful, the writing is superb, and the author possesses a profound literary foundation. The books frequently quote poetry, using it with perfect aptness. Furthermore, the female protagonists are all clear-headed, independent, and self-reliant, while the male protagonists are deeply devoted. I highly recommend these books; they are so good you won't be able to put them down.
