I've been an avid reader for seven or eight years. Lately, I've had a hard time finding good books to read, which is frustrating. After reading for so long, I don't enjoy simplistic, beginner-level stories anymore, and I'm no longer interested in the fantasy novels on the rankings. I've outgrown them. Thinking of others in the same boat, I figure plenty of longtime readers get frustrated too, so here are a few good books I've read. Of course, every reader has different tastes, so I can't promise these will suit everyone. I'm just sharing them with you. And if you know any good books, please recommend them to me too!

The first one is called "continuation"; the second one is called "guidance". In 1127 AD, the Northern Song Dynasty fell. Immediately, Zhao Gou, the ninth son of the emperor, ascended the throne in Shangqiu amid great expectations, inherited the Song Dynasty, and changed the Yuan Dynasty to Jianyan. However, within three months, Li Gang was dismissed as prime minister, Chen Dong was killed, Yue Fei was expelled from the army, Zongze was abandoned in Tokyo, and the anti-gold arrangements in Hebei were completely dismantled... After so many efforts, the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty finally unified their thinking and established a glorious anti-gold route to support Zhao Guan's family to move south to Huaidian and then to Yangzhou. But as soon as he set off, after paying homage to Taoist ancestors at Mingdao Palace in Bozhou, the Zhao official fell into the world-famous Nine Dragon Well. When he got up, he no longer recognized who his confidant was! I want to resist gold! But where are my confidants? ! This is a sincere cry from a soul nine hundred years later. After he had no choice but to inherit the name of the Song Dynasty, he wanted to lead the court and the world to a new path. Therefore it is called Shaosong.

Come on, why are you talking to me about your dreams? Anyway, the average subscription has already exceeded 3,000, so I can just update the novel by one chapter a day, so why do I need more. Anyway, the manuscript fee is 500 yuan per page. It's good to update one episode of the comic every month. Why do you want more?
