This apocalyptic book is really different! There is no system without cheating, it is all a game of high IQ and the struggle of human nature. The suspense is layered one after another, and the foreshadowing is buried far away. The plot becomes bigger and bigger as it goes on, and you can't guess the ending at all. The writing is solid, and I was completely satisfied after reading it.

You said fine grain, so I took out this book. The daily stories of small officials and people in the county. The exquisite details and simple descriptions of the world make you feel like you are being pulled into the old times of the two Song Dynasties a thousand years ago. It's not a cool article, but it's emotionally refreshing. It's not Machiavellian, but humane and worldly. There is no CP, no cheats, no modern knowledge dimensionality reduction attack, super realistic ancient world sentiments. The word count is almost a million, and it's so plump and juicy that it's ready to be read. Disadvantages: slow to develop, not a cool novel, no CP, the plot is not very ups and downs, a few chapters are too detailed, don't fall into this trap if you are impatient.

These three books are all very good, I highly recommend them! The first book is a story about the heroine's promotion. She gradually grows from a novice to an excellent expert in the field of human resources. The male protagonist will officially appear later, but he is really well matched with the heroine. The heroine has a male lead named Bai Yueguang. They are a bit wrong at the right time, but the male and female protagonists are the right people at the right time. The second book is a sweet story, a very normal sweet story, without any gratuitous pampering that will make you sick of it as soon as it starts. It is a very gentle and long-lasting book that will make you feel very warm after reading it. The third book is also very interesting, the story is quite interesting, and the male and female protagonists get along very well.
