" 100,000 Years of Hermitage " was a China anime. It told the story of the Forgotten Immortal Sect's ancestor, Chen Xuan, who was invincible in the world but retired at the peak.

I recommend " Top Female Celebrity Wants Me to Confess " by Chen Huansheng, an urban entertainment celebrity. It was a story about a genius IT man in the Peninsula. The characters were rich. There was Chen Gewei, the male lead, and Kim Ji-Soo, the female lead. The impression was 70 points. The female lead was a bit of an overbearing CEO. The sweetness was high, but it was a little regretful to change the female lead. " A Tall Man Overrides Chaos in Martial Arts " was not bad either. There was an oriental fantasy novel written by Black Cat in the early hours of the morning. The male protagonist, Jiang You, traveled through the Chaotic Martial World. He grew up no matter what he ate. He was invincible. There was no female protagonist. The protagonist was more interested in interests. The story was very novel. " I Play Farming Games in the World of Cultivators " was a novel that was written in a game. After transmigrating, he relied on farming games to command NPCs to expand their territory and become a big shot. " After tricking Ultraman, I was approached by my family." It was a light novel that was derived from Doujinshi. The male protagonist, Ai Luo, was very interesting. He had a bad heart and did good deeds. He loved to cheat Ultraman into eating everything. The plot was very happy. There was also " The Strange Way of the Stars ", a sci-fi interstellar civilization novel written by Fragrant Old Ma. In the post-apocalyptic world, Chen Beier had encountered many things on Mars. He had many roles to play in the face of the upgraded ones. The novel " Reborn in a Small Mountain Village in the Eighties " is equally exciting. Everyone is welcome to click and read it!
