    It's 2025, and there are still novels this crazy? If you're tired of the same old feel-good stories, then *The Gods' Fool's Play* will definitely set your mind racing! The story begins in a mad world rewritten by the gods. Sixteen deities descend, turning Earth into a brutal live-action show of "faith + survival." Everyone must choose a god to rely on, and every seven days they must team up for a "six-person trial." Win, and you'll be showered with resources and divine gifts; lose, and sorry, you'll either be wiped out or completely wiped out. The protagonist, Cheng Shi, appears to be a clown priest of the god of deception, but in reality, he's a master of empty talk. His skills are simple and brutal: if his lies are convincing enough, his teammates will actually believe him, and the props he concocts will instantly transform into... This novel blends apocalypse, faith, and dungeon-solving elements, with a multitude of elements yet remaining cohesive. The author's writing style and pacing are top-notch. Besides the main characters, the other characters are also incredibly powerful. There's Hu Xuan, who gets pregnant with just a touch and can even "give birth to herself"; the sharp-tongued con artist; the eccentric beauty Zhen Yi… Each character is fleshed out and brings the ensemble cast to life. *The Gods' Fools* is such a treasure of a novel.

    ## Ashtray While all the housewives complained about their husbands' infidelity, Li Juan only cared about the cleanliness of the ashtray. Wang Hai found her ordinary to the point of being boring—the same wool sweater she wore day after day, the same hairstyle she never changed, and an unfathomable gaze behind her black-rimmed glasses. He enjoyed this security, enjoyed the tranquility of this remote town, as if enjoying retirement. He was grateful to have a perfect wife who didn't like buying clothes, didn't wear makeup, and didn't wear jewelry. He thought she was a silent fortress. **But he didn't see the intricate structure inside the fortress.** Li Juan's gaze was precise as a ruler. She counted three times the lingering sweet scent of cheap soap on Wang Hai's shirt collar. She collected a small handful of the colored sand from the kindergarten sandpit that clung to the edges of his leather shoes when he came home late. She silently converted the frequency of his phone screen lighting up in the dark into the intervals of his heartbeats. Under the hood of his old Buick, the newly replaced, gleaming parts were perfectly misaligned with the wear cycle she had calculated. He complained about life's monotony, like complaining about a worn-out wool sweater. Li Juan gently wiped the gleaming ashtray, her fingertips feeling the cold, hard curve of its surface. A tiny smile played on her lips—**Math teachers are masters of calculation.** Wang Hai would never know that she had already mentally calculated countless times how large a container would be needed to hold the ashes of an adult male, leaving not a trace of waste.** This ordinary town, these ordinary apartment buildings, this wife so ordinary she was almost dull. **The deepest terror always lies hidden within the precise logic of "ordinary."**

    Jia Santong was chased around the tomb by the coffin lid, the mirrors he had secretly hidden in his pocket jingling. Suddenly, one of the mirrors popped out from his collar, reflecting a fat man gnawing on a chicken leg—himself from three days ago. The Jia Santong in the mirror grinned and reached out to pull the real Jia Santong into the mirror. Qiu Wuyai suddenly felt a sharp pain in his chest, and the six mirror master marks glowed simultaneously, burning the red thread connecting his heart red-hot. A'Ruo's umbrella cracked open with a "rip," and a rusty pair of scissors fell out of the crack. She grabbed the scissors to cut the red thread, but was stopped by a chicken claw that suddenly emerged from the oil pan. The faceless stinky tofu stall owner lifted his apron, revealing a huge bronze mirror on his abdomen. Seven blurry figures appeared in the mirror, the one in front making the same transparent left-hand gesture as Qiu Wuyai. The stall owner dipped the rotten chicken claw into the oil pan and wrote the words "sacrifice" on the cutting board. The writing was quickly covered by black mirror oil. Suddenly, the tomb shook violently, and all the coffins automatically stood up and lined up in the Big Dipper constellation. A "thump-thump" knocking sound came from each coffin, and the rhythm gradually formed a strange nursery rhyme.
