   I watched the section about "drawing talismans with fingers" three times. The broken bamboo pole, the shattering of seventeen witchcraft spells, the rising mist on the river, the cracking of bones, the black bead turning into a lamp—the rhythm builds layer upon layer. "The Undying Starving Corpse" truly has a knack for depicting rituals; a good read if you're looking for something to read.

   A 9.9 Rating is just a matter of time, plus a little bit of luck. It will be achieved someday, as long as I keep writing. This isn't pure online fiction; it's hard science fiction written according to the logic of Tomato Novels. It features a multi-dimensional worldview with rotating/traveling time sequences and mutated races (orcs/insects/marine creatures, etc.), A narrative style with interconnected storylines, strong foreshadowing, and a strong logical loop. The war scenes are grand and intense, the plot is tight and complex, with numerous foreshadowing and plot twists. You won't know what will happen until the very end. All the settings and descriptions will be verified as the plot progresses, leading to new conflicts and climaxes, constantly pushing the storyline forward. Furthermore, as the chapters progress, all the settings and characters' abilities will be systematically proven and contradicted by a coherent theory. The overall logic of the writing, plot, character development, and world-building is always mutually reinforcing and complementary, making it suitable for long-term reading.

   These three are the only books I follow every day. To be honest, the first one has a low rating; the overpowered abilities are too strong, the information is practically precognitive, and it's a world where the villains eat people—not directly, but by refining them into pills.

    Don't scroll past if you're looking for a good read! This wildly popular historical romance novel, "A Fierce Soldier on the Frontier Picks Up a Fallen Empress at the Start," is an absolute must-read—a top-tier, action-packed read you won't want to put down! It's high-energy from beginning to end, packed with action, political intrigue, sweet romance, and a classic underdog story. You won't be able to stop reading once you start! In a chaotic world, the frontier is engulfed in war. The once unified dynasty has crumbled, barbarian cavalry tramples the land, people are displaced, and soldiers shed their blood on the battlefield. The protagonist is an unassuming soldier on the frontier, without a prestigious family background or immense power. All he possesses is unwavering courage and an indomitable spirit. Struggling to survive amidst mountains of corpses and seas of blood, he only wants to protect his isolated city and live. Who would have thought that a routine battlefield patrol would lead him to rescue a wounded and wretched empress of a fallen kingdom! Once a powerful and incomparably noble empress, she lost her kingdom and family, becoming a prisoner vulnerable to all, enduring humiliation and barely clinging to life, a fragile drifter in a chaotic world. Two people from completely different backgrounds unexpectedly meet on the frontier, their fates becoming inextricably intertwined! No melodramatic clichés, no overly sentimental characters; the male protagonist is decisive, ruthless, and merciless. From this moment on, he is no longer a lowly soldier at the mercy of others, but a war god in a chaotic world, protecting the empress and sweeping away all enemies! Faced with the barbarian army's relentless siege, he single-handedly raided the enemy camp at night, beheading their general and disrupting their ranks. Facing the court's ruthless pursuit of traitors, he proceeded cautiously, using their strength against them to uncover the mastermind. Amidst internal and external troubles plaguing his empire, he single-handedly stabilized the border defenses, rallied his remaining troops, and rose step by step from a lowly border soldier to a renowned general who commands respect throughout the land! The Empress is no weakling; she is patient, intelligent, and compassionate, possessing the heart of a ruler despite her dire circumstances. She understands politics and is adept at judging character, silently supporting the male lead, analyzing the situation and stabilizing the hearts of the people. In this chaotic world, they rely on each other, mutually committed, without melodramatic misunderstandings, only the deep affection of fighting side-by-side. Beneath the battlefield's fierce power lies tenderness, and amidst the turmoil of war, their mutual protection shines through – a truly heartwarming story! What makes this book truly exceptional is its dense array of thrilling moments and explosive pacing! From defending the border to sweeping across the northern frontier, from annihilating rebels to vying for supremacy, the protagonist's journey is a meteoric rise, a relentless climb to power, accumulating military achievements and wielding immense influence. Every battle is exhilarating, every political maneuver captivating. Watching him rise from humble beginnings to lead a fallen empress in a journey of defying fate and reclaiming the kingdom is incredibly satisfying! There are no superfluous subplots or idiotic supporting characters; the entire story revolves around battlefield conquest, political maneuvering for national restoration, and romance amidst chaos. It offers both the heroic spirit of war and the tender emotions of loyalty and devotion between emperor and soldiers, seamlessly blending national duty with personal love. The plot twists and turns, creating a series of climaxes that make it increasingly exciting and addictive as you read on! In a chaotic world, a valiant soldier wields his sword to protect the emperor, while the empress, with her unwavering resolve, secures her rule. Witness how a lowly border soldier, accompanied by an empress of a fallen kingdom, defeats barbarians, quells internal strife, restores order, and reshapes the vast land, writing an epic tale of defying fate and achieving victory! Whether you're a fan of battlefield novels, a loyal follower of political intrigue stories, or a reader who prefers sweet romance amidst chaos, this novel will perfectly cater to your tastes. You don't have to worry about being disappointed! The plot is thrilling, the characters are top-notch, and the experience is incredibly satisfying. You won't regret reading it; you'll truly regret missing it!
