I would recommend 'Don't Say a Word'. It has a relatively straightforward premise that quickly builds into a complex and suspenseful story. It's not overly long, so it's a great way to get a feel for Klavan's work without a huge time commitment.

There were different opinions on whether Ye Qingmei knew martial arts or not. Some netizens thought that Ye Qingmei didn't know martial arts and didn't need to know it because she had powerful servants and advanced technological weapons. Practicing martial arts wasn't very useful to her. Another group of netizens thought that Ye Qingmei not only knew martial arts, but also had a certain level of attainment in martial arts. Although the search results provided did not clearly answer whether Ye Qingmei knew martial arts, according to the description in the novel, there were two details that indirectly revealed her martial arts level. The first detail was that when she first entered the capital, she easily injured Ye Chong, who was at Stage 0 - 7, triggering a fight between Wu Zhu and Ye Liuyun. The second detail was that when the Qing Emperor killed her, she had waited until she was weak before giving birth. This showed that Ye Qingmei's martial arts should be at least ninth-grade. In summary, it was still uncertain whether Ye Qingmei knew martial arts, but there were signs that she had a certain level of martial arts strength.

There was no clear answer as to why Celebrating Years did not release a second season. There were some reasons that might explain this problem. First of all, the script for the first season might not have been completed yet. No film company or producer had urged the completion of the script. Secondly, such a large-scale drama needed advertising support, and the second season of " Celebrating Years " might face a huge loss because it was not a low-budget drama. In addition, the lead actor, Zhang Ruoyun, had signed a contract for three seasons, but it had already exceeded the scheduled time. Delaying it would only lead to an increase in production costs and a decrease in advertising revenue. In addition, the age of the actors was also a problem. It was impossible for a 40-year-old actor to play a 20-year-old character. In short, there was no definite answer as to why " Celebrating Years " did not release a second season.

Because Chen Pingping had lied to him that he would have the Black Knights to protect him, Fan Jian was resentful. Knowing that Chen Pingping was willing to help him plead with the Emperor, Fan Xian gave Chen Pingping the map of the Temple he had drawn. Chen Pingping met with the Qing Emperor and told him about Fan Xian's situation. He pleaded for Fan Xian's life but was chased away. Fan Xian paid his respects to the Qing Emperor and explained the situation. At the same time, he told him about Li Chengze and Li Yunrui's crimes and the location of the Temple, but the Qing Emperor ignored him. Fan Xian expressed his loyalty to the Qing Emperor.

Wu Zhu was a robot character in " Celebrating Years." He was a high-tech product left behind by the previous civilization. He was brought out of the " temple " by Ye Qingmei and gradually evolved human emotions. Wu Zhu did not have an independent consciousness or his own emotions. He dealt with problems and reacted through a predetermined program. He saw Ye Qingmei as his master. His only mission was to protect Ye Qingmei and Fan Xian.

Even after losing his memory, he still refused to carry out the order to kill Fan Xian. Wu Zhu's identity and existence added mystery and tension to the plot.
