    Several books I've reread multiple times! They're really good! "Little Demon King: Golden Branch" is my favorite; the author, Wei Zi, has exceptional writing skills, and the knowledge points are worth exploring in depth! "Lu Fei's Pawnshop" is still updating! I've been following "Lin Ran," which just had a funeral, and it's also good; her character and actions are admirable. "Chen Mo," the paper-seller, is also very capable! The strong female lead in "The Story of Sewing Lamps" is very touching! Highly recommended!
