   The first book features Zhu Yan and Yang Maozhan, the second Jin Maomao and Wang Yi, the third Shao Ye and Mi Lao Zhang, the fourth Yu Sheng and Zhao Gaga, and the fifth Gao Yang and Wang Zikai—take your pick! [Laughs] If you want the ultimate brain-teasing experience, trust me, Zhu Yu is the pinnacle of this genre. If you can figure it out after one reading, I'll admit defeat. If you want the ultimate angst, read the last two books—I'll admit defeat if you don't cry. If you prefer a more comedic style, read the first two books; Zhu Yan's three pseudonyms and Jin Maomao's awesomeness and handsomeness are definitely your best choices!

   As Shinji carried Mukuro (the protagonist) on his shoulder, cherry blossoms fell all over the Zenin family. One was a "useless" cursed by heaven, the other a tyrant who had traversed the six realms; the brothers' fists were harder than curses. Gojo Satoru's six eyes peered through the snow, only catching a glimpse of Mukuro's footsteps kicking Shinji in the back—the force was enough to shatter the skull of a cursed spirit. "Shall we go exorcise the cursed spirit?" Mukuro asked, chewing on the candy given to him by Enshan. Shinji pulled out a dagger and tossed it to him: "First, learn not to tear down the elementary school classroom." As a result, the next day, a small mound made of cursed spirit remains appeared in the corner of Teitan Elementary School.

   This book is so good! The brotherhood is incredibly touching; they're willing to give their lives to save each other. The protagonist uses his strength to heal all the wounds left by past grievances. He often suffers battle casualties in the early stages while saving everyone, but it's so satisfying to read. When the protagonist is unconscious, he calls out for Leon, and his nightmares are about turning into a monster and almost killing Leon. Even when given a chance to escape, the protagonist forgoes it and insists on finding Leon. Leon, believing the protagonist sacrificed himself for them, feels guilty for six years and frequently has nightmares about that scene. When they meet again, he develops PTSD and is afraid to let the protagonist be in danger alone again. But what I love most is the scenes of the two fighting side-by-side and the protagonist interacting with those around him. The protagonist truly lives up to his word; he's incredibly charismatic and powerful. This brotherhood, forged through shared battles, is like a fine vintage wine—the longer they're together, the better it gets. It's so good!

    I don't know if you guys like it, but it's a dual-soul story. Qingqing likes Qingqing, and in the early stages, Qingqing wasn't awake yet; it was Qingqing controlling the body. She encountered Qingqing's former accomplices, and her relationships with them are quite compelling.

    The story unfolds seamlessly, from the common people to the imperial court. The protagonist's growth is palpable and natural, and it also influences the growth of those around him.
