   Highly recommended! The first book has a forum, and Yan Ge (the author) is really good at handling things. It's a heartwarming ensemble piece. The second and third books are by the same author and include a movie adaptation—they're fantastic! Our Huai/He Zhao is just like that, scaring everyone. The last book is about our brother who, with his inarticulate tongue and outrageous actions, makes everyone feel heartbroken. Except for the first book, which is genuinely painful, the pain in the latter three is toned down. But in other people's eyes, the protagonists in these books are all quite tragic. I really strongly recommend them (I'm not good at expressing myself, but they're really good!). You won't regret investing in them, friends!

    The first book has a fictional world with superpowers. The protagonist has multiple identities and a system. There is no romantic pairing. It's a super exciting story of a beautiful, strong, tragic, and powerful protagonist. His main body has black hair, while his multiple identities have white hair. I remember he has quite a few identities, and the names are also very nice, such as Mirror Flower, Water Moon, and Flower Ashes. As for the protagonist's superpowers, well, how should I put it? The first book is rather abstract and logic-based. The protagonist is a bit crazy and arrogant, although he claims it's an act, but I genuinely feel he's quite eccentric. However, the protagonist has a chip implanted in his body, controlled by someone behind the scenes—well, you could say that?—But it's not really control. The chip is connected to the protagonist's pain nerves, allowing it to make the protagonist feel pain at any time and track his whereabouts. If you can accept this, I highly recommend reading it. Also, the protagonist's background is questionable. The second book is a crime investigation novel. As the title suggests, the protagonist is an undercover agent who has returned with many aftereffects. It's a "group-loved" type, no romance, a beautiful, strong, and tragic character. It's like the kind where if someone is injured, I don't say anything, or in other people's eyes, the protagonist will be there to protect them even if the sky falls, but others still feel sorry for them. The captain of the criminal investigation team where the protagonist works is like a male mother, very caring towards the protagonist. I read this one last year, and it's not finished yet. There's no secondary romance, and updates are a bit slow. Basically, everyone from teammates to superiors cares about the protagonist, and his physical attributes are also exceptionally high. He's the kind of character with a cute, human face? The protagonist is quiet, doesn't like taking medicine, and even jumped out of a hospital window. The third and fourth books are linked and are derivative works of the tomb raiding genre. I'm currently watching the movie version. How to put it... It's not exactly a tragic, strong, and beautiful story; it's more like a facade. The protagonist isn't actually that miserable inside, because it's all an act. The protagonist has one main body and one alias, but can only control one body at a time. The author has said that the alias will never be revealed. To outsiders, the protagonist is tortured by the Wang family and is very miserable, but secretly he and the system are laughing their heads off. There's a contrast; the protagonist is quite adorable, and the system is also quite adorable. Most of the plot involves the protagonist using the alias. He took action, then carried a coffin on his back. The coffin was his true form, and he loved it dearly, so he couldn't bear to see it injured. The fifth book is also a fanfiction of *The Lost Tomb*, similar to the previous one, it's all acted out, but with a touch of reality. He has a system, no physical identity, and can travel through various timelines at will, becoming many people's ideal man. However, because he interferes with the plot by traveling through timelines, his soul shatters. In the story, the protagonist is a quiet person; initially, everyone thought he was mute, but later he stopped talking and eating. The blind man even thought he was a zombie! There's no romantic pairing. The sixth book is a quick transmigration novel, quite short, with no romantic pairing. However, there are subtle hints of romance within the smaller worlds, though these relationships aren't officially confirmed. The protagonist is very cute, male, and I read it a long time ago, so I don't remember much. In each world, the protagonist recklessly kills without considering the consequences, and everyone feels sorry for him, but he doesn't seem to care because it doesn't really hurt. It's a bit short, only about 100 chapters, but I still highly recommend it; it's very enjoyable. It seems the protagonist treats the protagonists of each smaller world like his own sons, but the protagonists of each smaller world love him dearly. They will meet in the real world. The protagonist of each small world will meet Zhao Zhao (the protagonist of this book) in the real world and take care of her. The seventh book is about Conan. Uh, ah, just bear with it. When I read it, there were only about 70 chapters. I don't know the general plot after that, but it was pretty good. It was good, but it was probably a pseudo-beautiful, strong, and tragic story. It seems to have a system that can block pain. The protagonist is also a bit of a carefree person. The eighth book: *#%&-\Beautiful, Strong, and Tragic&&&%&&!###**&%#%*Good%#&*%#%%No CP The ninth book is good and recommended.
