   These books are absolutely beautiful. They were all written since childhood. They describe how the heroine enters Taoism and then fights monsters and grows up. The heroines in the first, second and third books all have identities, one is the Flower Palm Empress, and the other two are the White Tiger and Suzaku of the Four Spirits. The four books are all connected, and they can see other people in them. The most distressing one is Xie Ying in the fourth book. She is not the reincarnation of anyone, so she can only make an oath to save herself.
