    Read them in order, Ruo Buci's books are the most authoritative!!! Vivid and lively, full of life, every ending is a happy one. She makes cameo appearances in later books. The author's writing is excellent, each book is lighthearted and humorous, yet each is intricately connected, and you won't get tired of reading. The author's writing style is mostly eccentric, occasionally subtly interspersed with satire of human nature or reality. The writing is truly superb!!! "I don't want to be a savior, but I don't want to be denied the right to stand up when needed." "The free wind can only roam freely in a vibrant world; the roaring thunder can only display its power under the witness of countless people."
