    This is incredibly good! I read this novel at least five years ago, though I don't remember the exact time. I was still in school then, my phone had limited memory, and I didn't know Jinjiang was an app. I read it on the Baidu web version. Today, I suddenly remembered it while browsing some controversies surrounding Jin Yong's *The Legend of the Condor Heroes*, specifically the debate over whether Yang Fu or Yang Longnu should be mentioned. When I came across Xiaolongnu and Zhen Zhibing, I suddenly thought of Dongfang Bubai and Yang Lianting, which reminded me of this novel. I decided to reread it today.
