   Open your mind, even if the readership is small, don't worry, keep writing and strive to make those struggling at the bottom of society see. The first book, "A Guide to Urban Wandering," is purely realistic with strong moral values. People today don't realize the devastation a family with a preference for sons can inflict on a girl. The protagonist discovers she's been sold and bravely escapes her family, scavenging for a living and sleeping in public restrooms in underground parking garages, encountering various people from the lower classes and experiencing warmth and mutual support. The kindness of strangers provides immense help, and the resilient protagonist repays those who helped her with her own efforts. The characters' development is clear, with well-defined arcs. The protagonist initially suffers from low self-esteem, weakness, and a strong sense of unworthiness, but later becomes capable, spirited, and sunny, gaining friendship, love, and family along the way. Reading this book is like participating in a girl's entire inspiring youth; it's well worth reading. The second book is not a wish-fulfillment novel, with no cheat codes; it's a realistic portrayal of rebirth from despair. A naive only child encounters a ruthless scoundrel, facing a triple blow of emotional deception, debt, and being forced to run away. She attempts suicide by drowning with her daughter, a near-death experience that completely awakens her. With no one to fall back on their shoulders and no one to offer salvation, they relied entirely on their own hard work to earn their daily bread. Rising from the mud, they struggled against the odds to make a living with their two daughters, weathering the storms of adversity, and finally witnessed the kindness of humanity. Life did not fail the ordinary person who strived to improve themselves.

    I laughed so hard my abs hurt in the middle of the night! [Laughing and crying emoji] The mortal Lao Liu (Old Six) obtains a cultivation inheritance and embarks on a cultivation journey in the city, hiding his true nature. The book is full of memorable quotes, realistic critiques, and philosophical reflections. Everyone is intelligent, and the psychological descriptions are exquisite. [Thumbs up emoji] A reminder: please do not approach this novel with traditional notions that cultivation equals invincibility or the ability to kill at will. This book is an exploration and growth story, not mindless wish-fulfillment. It teaches you to follow the law, understand the rules, and then become decisive in killing. [Cool emoji]
