   Still worried about the lack of books? Quickly take a look at this book "The Wine, Sword, Poetry and Wine, the School Beauty Collapses", you will really regret it if you don't read it! The setting of the novel is very imaginative and does not take the usual path. The protagonist was an ordinary college student, but he unexpectedly awakened to the inheritance of the Immortal of Wine and Swords, and excelled in both poetry and wine. From then on, his campus life was turned upside down. Reciting poetry can arouse the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, while drinking alcohol can stimulate the super powerful sword energy. This unique ability setting immediately catches the readers' attention, making people curious about what wonderful stories the protagonist will cause next. The plot is full of ups and downs and high-energy throughout. The school beauty was originally the flower of the high mountains, perfect, but after the protagonist showed his magical ability, she "collapsed". She is no longer the dignified goddess in the eyes of everyone, but has transformed into a little follower, following the protagonist shamelessly and begging to be taken away. The contrast is full of cuteness. The two were involved in mysterious events on campus. From the strange ancient books in the ancient library to the mysterious formations hidden in the corners of the campus, every step was full of unknowns and dangers. The protagonist relies on the skills of the wine swordsman to solve puzzles and solve dangers again and again. The plot is tense and exciting, with constant twists and turns, making it impossible to stop watching. The characterization is superb. The protagonist has a free and easy personality, is calm and composed in the face of crisis, and is fluent in poetry, wine, and swordsmanship. He also has a bit of college student youthfulness and humor, which is very lovable. After the school beauty collapsed, she became eccentric and occasionally acted coquettishly, completely different from her previous image. This change made the character full of freshness. The supporting characters also have their own highlights, including the weird roommate who is obsessed with formations, and the mysterious professor who secretly plots the plot. Their presence makes the whole story richer and more three-dimensional.

    Then I have to mention the book Body Ghost. This is one of the few books I have read that has been re-read several times. The world of the protagonist in the book is about to be swallowed up by the abyss. He relies on this protagonist to turn the tide and reshape the way of heaven. The plot setting is very reasonable and the author's writing is also very good. Although it was a book a few years ago, it is still very good. I highly recommend it.
