   These books are all super good. The first one is a ghost story about the friendship between the male protagonist and his friends. I really like this kind of friendship. It's super good. The male protagonist is not particularly smart but he is very aware of himself. [Like] Knowing that you are not smart will never hold you back. Friends help each other really well. It's super good. The second one is a fanfic about tomb robber Li Cu. It's also very interesting. It's sad and sad. I really like it. The third one is also about tomb robbers. It's written by the author about Chen Pi.

As the plot progresses, he starts from an ordinary mountain village and travels through various eras in the world of immortality, experiencing stages of vigorous development, collapse of rules, and dark turmoil. During this period, Chen Xun continued to grow, created the Five Elements Vitality Cultivation System, and proclaimed himself the Patriarch of the Five Elements Taoism. [Cool][Shy] This book is full of highlights and has a grand and rich world view. The author relies on his extraordinary imagination to outline a mysterious and unpredictable universe of immortality for readers. Different eras have distinctive characteristics and are immersive. The protagonist's setting is unique, and Chen Xun's "Goudao" strategy and calm state of mind add a different kind of interest to the story.

In the later stage, after becoming an immortal, the divinity of the "immortal" is highlighted, showing the transformation of the protagonist's thoughts.

   🌹 Tweet | "She won't coax him anymore" - The unfinished rose in midsummer hides the most unforgettable love Book title: "She won't coax him anymore" (also known as "Hidden in Midsummer") Author: Qiu Riliang Tags: #CampusRedemption # Sadomasochism Deep # Sweet Sadism Intertwined # Two-way Rush --- 📖Story Summary: A brief but eternal midsummer love Jiang Qiao, a girl with advanced gastric cancer, transferred to city A and became the classmate of Xu Si, a delinquent boy. She was like a beam of light, illuminating the haze of the broken family of his origin and leading him out of the quagmire towards the light; but his ruthlessness and gentleness became the hottest comfort at the end of her life. "Meeting is midsummer, parting is also midsummer" - this encounter that began in midsummer turned into eternal regret due to illness. She taught him love and hope, but she withered quietly when he learned to cherish it; he spent the rest of his life remembering that the girl who smiled and handed the candy became a rose that he could no longer touch. --- 🌟 Character tension: Sweet and sweet student × Handsome bad boy - Jiang Qiao: Toughness hidden under the sweet appearance, but in the late stage of gastric cancer, he fights fate with gentleness. Every "good" she said was the most affectionate redemption for Xu Si. - Xu Si: Underneath his unruly appearance is a sensitive and loveless soul. From "Don't be afraid" to "Wait for me in the next life", his growth and affection are so heart-pounding. --- Highlight clips: - "Eating a candy can make you happy." "I have eaten so much candy, why can't I feel happy?" - "Wait for me in the next life?" "Wait for the liar." Every dialogue is a collision of tears and sugar, pushing campus youthfulness and life-and-death sadomasochism to the extreme. 📚 Why recommended? 1. Full of sense of redemption: a two-way rush from darkness to light, intertwined healing and depression. 2. Delicate writing style: The light and shadow of midsummer and the emotions of young people in Qiu Riliang's works have a strong sense of picture. 3. The physical book is now available! The work of the same name can be collected, and the paper version may have more profound tear marks. - Warning: Have tissues ready! The stamina is as strong as late-night emo, but the sweetness in the abuse is worth remembering!
