You get to learn about various artworks and historical references while following a thrilling plot.

'Carrie' by Stephen King is also suitable. It's about a girl with telekinetic powers who gets bullied at school. The revenge she takes is both tragic and horrifying in a very relatable high - school - gone - wrong kind of way.

For beginners, 'The Smiling, Proud Wanderer' is great. It has a relatively straightforward plot compared to some other complex wuxia novels. The character of Linghu Chong is very appealing. His growth from a carefree young man to a more mature martial artist is interesting to follow.

It gives a good introduction to the idea of a governess - like character falling in love with someone in the household she is taking care of.
