   The first one is absolutely fantastic! It's already finished! This urban romance novel has an extremely profound core, and the author's thoughts are truly impressive. I took notes while reading it. It mainly focuses on urban life but covers a wide range of knowledge, making it a masterpiece! The female lead, Shen Ning, is truly one of the most treasured female leads in Chinese romance novels; the author's character development is superb! Believe me, the author absolutely adores the female lead; you'll understand once you finish reading this book! The second and third books are also new novels by the same author. Currently, the author is busy and updates irregularly, but they are also great; you can wait until they're fully read before reading them.

    The sword is both a weapon and a reflection of the heart. The ways of the sword in this world often pursue elaborate techniques, becoming lost in outward appearances and losing sight of its true essence. A thousand transformations are ultimately illusions; flashy supernatural powers are merely ornaments. I establish this principle to shatter all illusions and return to simplicity. Control the blade with your true heart, break all techniques with your original nature; the sword's strike is unadorned, a single blow returning to its true nature. Having a sword in your hand is not as good as having a sword in your heart; having a sword in your heart is not as good as having your heart as the sword. Only when the sword and heart unite, the heart and the Way unite, and the Way and truth unite, can one return to the true nature.
