   Most of them are un-CP (no romantic pairing). The first book features a female protagonist, Chi Miao, and the best "Heavenly Pride" group, paving the way for countless lifetimes with companions in every life. The writing is excellent! Highly recommended!! The second book features a female protagonist, Tang Jianyue?? What happened to the "laid-back" lifestyle? She's become an octagonal warrior?! PS. Hehehe, Tang Jianyue and Xiao Bai, hehehe, go read it yourself, hehehe. The third book is undoubtedly my top-tier ensemble piece, the best of the best, the Five Musketeers of Dawn, no doubt, super invincible top-tier! Why isn't this book published in print? Why?! The fourth book, Lin Du, has a CP, but personally, I think it can be read as un-CP (I seem to have awakened my Lin Du fangirl/fangirl tendencies?).

   "We resolutely defend civilization, vow to protect our homeland to the death. We are willing to be fireflies, fearless of dedication and sacrifice. Let us dance together for the birth of the world at the twilight of the apocalypse." Let the world be mottled, my heart holds its own bright white. Let worldly constraints bind me, I will transform into a raging wind, sweeping across the wilderness, unrestrained. No one cries, yet everyone cries. "I am the raging wind under the sky, forever pursuing freedom!!" "To all free spirits and souls! —" "Brother, you are the raging wind under the sky, forever pursuing freedom." We are lonely, we are insignificant, we gaze into the distance, we yearn, we are resolute. The youthful spirit is precious. "The town outside this world nurtured me, who could not be accepted by the world." I despise the "justice" that is radiated recklessly through a screen, without knowing the whole picture, and I despise the public pronouncements that are based on hearsay and without thought. When she embraced those who shone, she also became part of the beam of light. "I am benign, but I can no longer return to the human camp." "I am your most loyal follower, and I will follow in your footsteps with my life." "Boss, you are my boss, my loyalty is unwavering until death." No one knows the way he came, only his dazzling appearance. In dreams, unaware of being a guest, he indulged in fleeting pleasures, enjoying the best of his life. Youth should roam freely between heaven and earth; she would carry her pride, the sun and moon shining brightly, living a life of leisure and joy. Some roads need not be walked, some hardships need not be tasted, but youthful arrogance is willingly accepted. The price of youthful exuberance is usually death, though it's unknown which one dies. A phoenix's cry echoes through the heavens. Youth is vibrant, the world vast, the universe magnificent; they should return to their sect, return home. The youthful exuberance ends hastily under the moonlight. A group of youths rush down the mountain, some carrying swords, some carrying medical bags, some carrying talismans and magical artifacts. The east is already white, but the lingering clouds of tribulation still hang in the sky. A sliver of light shines across their faces. Youth, after all, are always moved by such self-sacrifice. The end of life is not death; being forgotten is death.

   Sanjiu's previous work, *Zhan Shen*, is one that many readers have likely seen, even if they haven't read it. To be honest, it lacked a true ensemble cast, as many readers crave a story where the main characters share hardships together.

    This author excels at writing ensemble pieces and group dramas. There's no female-male rivalry, everyone's intelligent, no system, no rebirth, no bullet comments, no cheat codes. The logic is clear and smooth, and heartwarming daily life drives the plot. I have high hopes for this book. The first one had a bit too much setup in the beginning. When the male lead first appeared, he seemed a bit crazy (maybe he really is). But as you read on, you just felt he was such a good guy. He endured his traumatic reaction to befriend the male supporting character, and sincerely apologized and repented because the male supporting character had bullied him. The male lead is truly an angel. The second book is even more interesting. The supporting characters are all fairies who have lived for many years. The author often talks about their experiences living in ancient times. The male lead even lived in medieval Europe, which the author also wrote about. The most interesting thing is that the character Qing Chi was once Consort Wan (the author didn't explicitly say so, but you can really tell). It's truly the best version of Consort Wan's story I've ever read, and it even made me cry.

    This book is really good! [Thumbs up][Heart] It's a supernatural, high-martial arts urban world, and chapters 34 and 57 are thrilling! Especially chapter 57, there's a sword-wielding protagonist, one of the seven pinnacles of humanity, training at an academy. The creator god is gone at the beginning, but he eventually slays the god and becomes a god himself. The protagonist has blue hair and blue eyes, and later on, different hair colors correspond to different elemental abilities. The protagonist has no backing or background, so he's basically not threatened, and he's decisive. The villains aren't as disgusting as some might think! The beginning might be a bit tough, but things get better later! It's not a harem, but you can ship different characters. It's a semi-ensemble piece, good and not mindless!

    This is a collection of harem novels featuring a diverse cast of beauties. Empress Li Yanran, the legitimate daughter of a military family, is dignified, composed, and mature. She is the emperor's first wife and childhood sweetheart. With a strong sense of the bigger picture, gentle and open-minded, she actively fosters harmony within the harem, making her the undisputed backbone of the palace. Consort Su Qingyan, a modern transmigrator, is lively, insightful, generous, and understanding. She is neither jealous nor ambitious, sharing a timeless bond with the emperor and acting as a mediator in the harem. Consort Xian, of the Cui clan, comes from the prestigious Boling Cui family and is both beautiful and talented. Initially arrogant, she is gradually softened and becomes more courteous and intelligent after being moved by the emperor's genuine affection. Consort De, of the Du clan, comes from a lesser-than-ideal family and is shrewd and perceptive. During the original emperor's reign, she was a master of palace intrigue and had even bullied the newly arrived Su Qingyan. Later, she was severely punished by the emperor after the time travel. Witnessing the emperor's drastic change in temperament, she voluntarily bowed her head in repentance, sincerely reforming herself. From then on, she stayed away from conflict, behaved herself, and lived harmoniously with the other concubines in the harem. Noble Lady Lan is the daughter of a seventh-rank county magistrate, of humble origin. Gentle and obedient, yet intelligent and insightful, she is understanding and kind, like a sister to Su Qingyan. She is clever, charming, and knows how to maintain proper boundaries. Empress Mei Xunxue's head maid, given the name Xunxue, entered the palace as a concubine. She is patient, considerate, loyal, and capable, much like Ping'er in *Dream of the Red Chamber*, silently managing the trivial affairs of the harem, working tirelessly without complaint, and never vying for favor. After years of being neglected, she was finally seen and cherished by the emperor, becoming his closest "family member" besides the emperor and empress.
