    These are all, or there are all kinds of them. The heroine in the third to last book and the second one is a perverted murderer and a Ma Fulin type! In the early part of the last book, it was a silly story about a fool who accidentally lost his brain and knew the future and then ruined it. By the middle of the book, after reading the prison chapter, you will start to doubt life!! The early cool stories are all foreshadowing, but after the prison chapter, all kinds of emotions are difficult to reconcile, including Huihui's love, the eldest sister's emotions, Jin's Bai Yueguang, No. 14'S eternal guardianship, and the male protagonist's calculations and persistence!! All kinds of reversals! At the end, there are all kinds of redemption and salvation. If you read it without thinking, you may not be able to fully understand it! I personally have read more than 100 Tomato books and feel that this one is the best in my mind. I highly recommend it!!
