   This is a divine book! Tang Jia San Shao was moved to tears, Tian Can Tu Dou (a famous Chinese writer) was humbled, and Chen Dong (another famous Chinese writer) fell silent... This must be one of the Four Great Classical Novels, absolutely the greatest masterpiece of the 21st century! *Sacred Ruins* pales in comparison! *Battle Through the Heavens* lacks depth! *Zhu Xian* lacks emotion! *Covering the Sky* lacks imagination! *Buddha's Creed* lacks plot! A once-in-a-century classic of online novels! The greatest literary work of the 21st century! Even Luo Guanzhong, Shi Nai'an, Wu Cheng'en, Cao Xueqin, Confucius, Mozi, Laozi, Zhuangzi, Li Bai, Du Fu, Su Shi, Xin Qiji, Qin Shi Huang, Emperor Wu of Han, Emperor Taizong of Tang, Emperor Taizu of Song, Genghis Khan, Buddha, Plato, Copernicus, and Aristotle would praise it! The author's book is truly exceptional. The writing is fluent, the rhetoric appropriate, deeply imbued with the style of the Wei and Jin dynasties, and further develops the spirit of the Tang and Song dynasties to a profound degree. To see this book in my lifetime is truly my greatest fortune. After reading this book, I was overwhelmed by an indescribable sense of sorrow—ah, such a wonderful novel, what if I could never see it again? What would I do? What would I do? Only after I unhesitatingly added the book to my bookshelf did my inner turmoil gradually subside. But then I immediately thought, wouldn't it be a waste of the author's hard work if others couldn't see such a good novel? After a painful internal struggle, I finally made up my mind to sacrifice my own interests for the greater good. I will share this book review with the world, and I will keep pushing this novel up, up, up! Up until everyone sees it!

    Absolutely better than *The Misty Rain Pavilion*! The protagonist is both intelligent and brave! *The Assassination of Qin* alone, in terms of writing style, will absolutely not disappoint! However, beyond the writing style, what's more important is that this book encompasses the imperial court, the martial arts world, foreign tribes, and ordinary people! It redefines martial arts through the earth-shattering choices of young heroes, reshapes people's values, and reinterprets and extends the true meaning of "the greatest heroes are those who serve their country and its people"! A labor of love, profound in its themes, thought-provoking, and courageous in shouldering great responsibilities! Forgetting life and death, writing about martial arts, chivalry, and the spirit of chivalry. So many people say the martial arts world is dead, chivalry is dead, and humanity is dead! However, the author, through the superficiality of a prosperous age and the pursuit of fame and fortune, sees that all things in the world throughout history have been accomplished by ordinary people with good intentions! My humble body already suffers too much, and many more are left to wander. Pity the people of this world, when will they escape their cages?
