   These three books!!!! The first book is really love-making and sadistic. The male protagonist is willing to kill everyone in the world for the female protagonist. The female protagonist joins a dangerous sect alone for the male protagonist. The second book is Little Sweet Rice!! The third book is really good-looking, with a very sober male protagonist who is a firm supporter of the female protagonist!

    They are both female-driven novels. The first one ignores the title of the book. It is super beautiful. The heroine has a very big pattern, and the male protagonist also has a big pattern. They are both strong. The heroine is more written. I laugh to death and cry to death. Laughter is the feeling of a powerful superior controlling life and the sinister male protagonist deceives various dudes and high-ranking officials. I cry because I am moved by how great a good leader the country is for the common people. The second book, don't be deceived by the little backyard house fight in the front. It's a super adventure of Ah Chu and Ah Gui. The male protagonist is occasionally used as a foil, and the group portrait is written very well by many women. In addition to Ah Chu and Ah Gui, there is also the super domineering and leaky Princess Ai. The imagination is wide open, and the plot is infinitely reversible. The plastic friendship between the girls making trouble and supporting each other will make you laugh and cry to death.

    The first four are palace battles/house battles, and the last two are cultivating immortals. The first one is more of a game between the heroine and the hero. Every time I thought the emperor just expressed concern for the heroine, but later I found out that this sentence was also a test. However, the further I fell, the less willing I was to find out the truth. The heroine never loved the hero, it was all a conspiracy. The second book is very in-depth, and all the people in it are very similar to people of that era. The author also said that he wrote it after reading Dream of Red Mansions, which is a bit similar to Dream of Red Mansions. When writing, he paid great attention to those ancient rules. There is also a well-written character, the second female lead. From the very beginning, she traveled through time and thought that these rules and regulations were constraints on women, and she always looked down on those women in ancient times. But in the end, every step she took seemed to be measured with a ruler, and she no longer saw any difference between her and ordinary women. The fourth book is about the selfishness of the saint. The female protagonist deliberately tries to get close to the male protagonist, and the male protagonist falls step by step. From then on, the selfless Taifu, who is Bing Xin Yujie, has selfish motives. The fifth book is very knife-like and has a group portrait. There were seven first place winners in the group of heroes, and in the end, those seven people died crazy and crazy. The sixth book, the young uncle is super handsome and the leading heroine in the world of immortality. There are also many sadistic points in it. It is very similar to the setting of "I will find the formula to reverse time, go back to the past, and come back to you." She looks at the sect she is a writer, being plotted by others to die. Then her Taoist heart is broken, and she searches for all ways to go back to the time when things have not happened. She has given up all reincarnation at the cost of returning to this world. She only has this one chance. In his previous life, he was good at swordsmanship. Before his death, he left his eyes to his master to help him ascend. "My disciple's heart is broken, and there is no hope in this life. Why don't I exchange my three-foot-long life for the supreme peace and tranquility. Master, after I leave, I will give you my eyes.
