   These two books are seriously bad! Author, I wouldn't dare read them even if you wrote them! 😃 The first one gets more and more exciting as you read on; I really don't recommend reading it at night, it'll scare you so much you won't be able to sleep! 🤓 The second one has a slightly clichéd beginning, making it easy to miss, but it gets really good later on. Both books are well-written and don't have any bad endings.

(The following lines are unrelated and appear to be separate, possibly machine-translated, fragments from different sources.) He was kind and gentle to his father, but instead of a proper daughter of a wealthy family, he turned a beautiful young woman from Jiangnan into an old lady in a floral cotton-padded jacket. He was also kind to his father, but instead of a proper daughter of a wealthy family, he turned a strange village into a prosperous village selling peach wood swords. In short, Liu Ye felt he was a happy person. The Bizarre World: Isn't your happiness just our blood and tears? Meng Yi was pulled into a bizarre world by an evil god's ritual. Everyone believed in a god, but each god was different, and each god's preferences varied. Some gods loved fatty meat; those who received divine favor had to sacrifice their flesh to use the evil god's power, turning a plump person into a emaciated one. Others loved insects; those who received divine favor lived in insect nests covered in spiderwebs, with a large spider crawling on their backs and their right hands being devoured by the spider. Meng Yi also became an evil god, and he discovered that in that world, evil gods were actually worshipped as righteous gods.
