    Here, however, you'll need patience to watch the female lead grow and then explore tombs. It's not exaggerated at all, and the logic is flawless. This book isn't suitable for readers seeking mindless, fast-paced entertainment. Its target audience is readers who enjoy suspenseful mystery, folk adventure, intellectual battles, and character development.
