   "The Snake Coffin" is entertaining and offers a broad range of knowledge, which can broaden one's horizons. However, I'd rather recommend another book, "Snake Bone," by Ke Yu, the complete version of which is only available on Baidu. It's not just about romance; I can't stand purely romantic stories, nor can I stand completely innocent ones. I think this book strikes a perfect balance. I like novels with an immersive feel, where the male and female leads fall in love, and if you identify with the male lead, you'll naturally like the female lead, and vice versa. They aren't just about good looks for the leads and supporting characters. In the world of novels, and in a world where gods, demons, and humans coexist, there are all kinds of handsome men and beautiful women. Even a top-tier handsome man with only a pretty face wouldn't make me willing to risk my life for him. Therefore, ability and personal charm are the ceiling for how much you like someone. I personally don't like reading about exceptionally outstanding male (or female) leads who ignore equally attractive and well-matched female (or male) supporting characters; I prefer ordinary male (or female) leads. I like reading about two radiant people falling in love. I also like the second male lead, and the female lead's friends are also very charismatic. If novel characters could break through to other novels, several of the supporting characters in this book would be good enough to be the main characters in other novels.

    What's the most shocking story you've ever heard during Chinese New Year's Eve dinner? One girl heard about her own family: her father pressured her mother to have another son, resulting in her mother losing the baby and her job. During her postpartum period, no one took care of her, and her mother lost her source of income. To gain custody after the divorce, her mother tried to earn money by setting up a street stall, but was brutally beaten by her abusive father and forced to give up (the girl developed PTSD as a result). Years later, the abusive father agreed to the divorce on the condition that the girl's mother leave with nothing, and he also agreed to relinquish custody. It turned out that the abusive father had an affair and had a son with another woman, who successfully became his wife. The abusive father doted on his mistress and son, but unexpectedly, the mistress cheated on him. To keep custody of his son, the abusive father gave up his only property and agreed to the divorce. After the divorce, the abusive father discovered that it was a genetic problem; he couldn't have a son, and the child was actually his mistress's and someone else's. The scumbag father, enraged, went to his mistress, wanting to abandon the child to her. The mistress refused, claiming custody was his and that doing so would be abandonment. The father then went to the child's biological father, who had a family and career and refused to acknowledge the child. The father caused a scene at the father's workplace and was arrested. When he thought of his daughter, who had been admitted to a prestigious university, he realized she no longer recognized him.

She refrains from all evil and practices all good, using her glimmer of light to carve out a path for herself. —These are all works in Xiaoxu's series.

    The book "The Short-Lived Ghost of the Xie Family Lived to Be a Hundred Years Old" is super good! At first, I thought it was going to be a romance novel and almost didn't continue reading, but I actually finished it in just a few days and am still waiting for updates. The story is full of twists and turns, mind-bending, touching, and infuriating moments, and the characters are rich and varied! I haven't been this engrossed in a long time. The other two books are just for passing the time.
