   I'm a huge fan of Yu Da's novels. Reading them and then the following novels brought me a special kind of joy. I can't forget Ji Guanxin, Xiao Rui, Officer Shen, and other female protagonists who are my white moonlight.

The following novels are also bittersweet, and each male protagonist has a different personality.

   I like Lin Dier, and Tong Hua's works are also good. In *Chang Xiang Si*, I still remember our first meeting outside Qingshui Town. You were all smiles and lies, the only truth being: "I am powerless to protect myself, with no one to rely on, nowhere to go." Decades of archery experience have given you the strength to protect yourself; you no longer need to use your own body to protect those you cherish in times of crisis. You have a loving partner; you no longer need to be alone and lonely. The world is vast; you have a place to go; you no longer need to be chased and have nowhere to call home. From now on, I can no longer protect you. Take good care of yourself, and may you live a peaceful and carefree life!
