    The first book is a wildly imaginative one, set in the Republican era. It's exciting and full of quirky moments—entertaining. The second book features two male protagonists in a martial arts story, Zhang Junbao and Zhang Qingyuan, two highly skilled Taoist priests who act freely but within the bounds of propriety. The third book is set in the Journey to the West world, featuring the second disciple of the Bodhi Patriarch, who gradually grows stronger. The fourth and fifth books are historical, showing you a different kind of strategist. The sixth and eighth books are set in the Ming Dynasty's Jinyiwei (Imperial Guards).
