    Reader note

    I recommend five books, and you'll be speechless after reading them. The first one is "Yan Yu Lou" (). The writing is exquisite, the plot is exciting and moving, the characters are vivid, the supporting characters are not stupid, the protagonist is not tedious, and there are no bad points. It can be called a high-quality time-travel novel. I personally think that the rating is indeed too low. The second book, *I Learned to Slay Gods in a Mental Hospital*, started with Zhao Kongcheng and progressed to "Forefront of Great Xia, Gods Forbidden to Travel," which I've enjoyed ever since. Sanjiu is very meticulous, perfecting every detail, digging and filling every plot hole well. Her writing skills are strong; it's just that I can't read enough each day. I started reading on January 31st and have only reached this point in five or six days. I don't know if it's because I read fast or what, but it's just not enough. I hope Sanjiu can update more often! The third book, *The End of Ten Days*, is truly amazing. The plot unfolds so logically and isn't chaotic at all. Qi Xia has brain cancer and doesn't have long to live—this is a huge plot hole. I guess it won't be overturned later, so I'm speculating that Qi Xia wants to become a god to save his life, so he tells one lie after another. He tries different paths, and through failures, he lays clues for his future. The fourth book, *The Code Under the Night*... Many may not have read it, but it's one of the few truly good books. Lin Hui, an ordinary office worker, stumbles upon the abandoned "11th Building," a place he knew from his childhood, after a tedious day at work. There, he discovers strange symbols and receives a mysterious phone call, drawing him into an unknown adventure. Meanwhile, Su Yao is also summoned to the city library's basement by the same mysterious call. The two meet and confront a combination lock engraved with mysterious symbols. While exploring the lock, they discover a yellowed diary that subtly hints at a sought-after secret, though the contents are partially obscured by water stains. Just as they struggle to decipher the clues, several unidentified figures enter the basement. These individuals seem to know they possess crucial clues and will not allow them to disrupt a certain plan. As the story unfolds, the symbols on the combination lock begin to rotate on their own, hinting at a mysterious force behind them. Manipulating power. In this tense and exciting plot, Lin Hui and Su Yao not only have to unlock the secrets hidden behind the combination lock, but also deal with threats from a mysterious figure. Under numerous crises, they uncover the truth hidden in the code under the cover of night—truly impressive! The fifth book, *Medical Journey to Tang Dynasty, Love in Chang'an*, tells the story of Jiang Wantang, a modern medical student who unexpectedly travels to the Tang Dynasty. Hoping to live a peaceful life using her medical skills, she becomes embroiled in court intrigue. She meets and falls in love with the Third Prince, Li Xuan. However, Li Xuan's wife, Su Nian'an, driven by jealousy, repeatedly frames Jiang Wantang, placing her in constant danger within the palace. Meanwhile, the political landscape shifts dramatically; the Prime Minister harbors treacherous intentions, secretly colluding with the Xiongnu to usurp the throne. Faced with numerous difficulties, Li Xuan and Jiang Wantang must contend with Su Nian'an's (diāonán, making things difficult for her) while simultaneously exposing the Prime Minister's conspiracy and protecting the Tang Dynasty. Hand in hand, they endure countless life-or-death trials, their love deepening through hardship.

    "Chang Sheng" is a logically rigorous and humorous novel, but it's not a fast-paced, mindless read. It's very engaging. "Yan Yu Lou" is similar, both humorous and rigorous. It would make a great TV series. "Chang Sheng" goes without saying; it's purely meant to make you laugh. 100% Recommended!

    This is a novel with a powerful aftertaste. It tells you that true strength isn't about slapping everyone in the face, but about having the right to choose not to be a god, yet choosing to protect mortals. In the end, you'll understand: the meaning of protection lies not in how strong you are, but in who you're willing to become stronger for.

    One Dao, one Buddha, two gods, three demons, four saints, five ghosts. A young man, a white horse, a beautiful woman, the martial world. One sword opens the gates of heaven, one palm kills a martial saint. Winter. Lingering snow. Her sword is moonlight. Her poison is honey. Her name is a secret. Purple clothes, like lightning. A person, like poetry. The world only knows Princess Jinning, Zhao Qingli, a walking portrait of a lady in the deep palace. But they do not know that she is also the only successor of the Sword God, a once-in-a-century genius of the Tang Clan. Her sword is called "Purple Lightning". When the sword is drawn, it is like a startled swan reflecting its shadow. No one in the world can withstand three of her moves. Because those who have seen the third move have all become mute dead men. Her palm is called "Soul Chaser". Her fingers are called "Wind Splitter". Chu Yueyao and Wen Yunshu are not maids, but two deadly shadows. Three women, a game in winter. The martial world is a cup of strong liquor. They, however, sought to savor the tea's delicate elegance. Until someone spilled the tea… A sword cleaved the heavens, a single palm strike slew a Martial Saint…
