   My God will always shed tears for the statues. It's both sweet and cruel, sometimes I can't stop laughing, and sometimes I shed a lot of tears. Their friendship transitions very well, and they fight side by side. The writing is also great. But the overall feeling of this article to me is that it is a bit funny, and it may be a little bit sadistic occasionally, but I am strong and I can do it. In general, hurry up, group portraits are my god, don't miss it if you like group portraits!!! [Sending Hearts]

   You must believe in Kong Liu's writing style, and it will never disappoint you. Her book "Provoking the Golden Branch" is a group portrait. Every character seems to be given a soul in Kong Kong's writing, and everyone has their own shining point. The heroine is a counselor (strategist). It's not common for counselors to be dominated by women! I watched it three times.

    Don't be put off by the name of the first book. In fact, it is a very good-looking group portrait book, and it is not the best. The fourth book is really sad, because his brother is the prince and will be the emperor in the future, so he can't have too much contact with him, and he can't play together like he did when he was a child, eat cakes together, and be his brother's strongest killer. On the surface, he is a playboy. The third book has many short stories. Those who like to watch solved crimes can read this. The second book is quite sad. The protagonist wants to die but cannot die. He is always discovered by the regent. Even if he is reborn, the wounds cannot be healed. Anyway, it looks good, looks good, looks good.

    Both books are period novels with very novel plots and a large number of group characters. Each character's personality is described in combination with his or her profession. Each has its own characteristics and each person is unique. It is highly recommended. The first book has a perfect relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, a real and realistic plot, and the second book has a super "hard-working" heroine. It is a must-read book for modern women. If the Chinese don't lie to the Chinese, it's definitely not a lie. If you don't read these two books, you will definitely regret it, dear friends.
