A Fleeting Life at My Fingertips

I wouldn't recommend this book to those who enjoy fast-paced, action-packed stories, because it tells a very intriguing story, one that is both depressing and realistic. Once you get into it, you won't be able to put it down. Every character is meticulously portrayed, and many of the plot points I expected didn't happen.

This book seems to have many female companions for the male protagonist, but in reality, I think only Li Yuqian is a true female character. Qin Yu means passion and desire, representing the protagonist's lingering passions during his student days. Jin Xi is a homophone for "this evening," so the protagonist's ending with Jin Xi signifies that he is seizing the present moment.

One cannot speak of coldness before the rising sun. Qin Yu is the character I feel most heartbroken about. She helped the protagonist grow step by step to the end because the protagonist was different from all the boys she met. Perhaps she had already fallen completely in love with the male lead when he saved her. I felt quite depressed and sad after reading this book.

This is a fantastic novel. Honestly, I read it over several days, except for meals and bathroom breaks. Some chapters were so gripping I could hardly breathe. I felt incredibly uncomfortable whenever I stopped reading, especially when Qin Yu confessed that Shen Hanqing had instructed her to get close to the male lead. I cried buckets of tears. I so wish this novel had two female leads so the male lead could end up with Qin Yu...

I read it very carefully and for a long time. I must persevere and finish reading it; it will give me a lot to think about regarding life. Many people feel sorry for Qin Yu, thinking she should have been the female lead in the end. However, I don't think it could have been her, given the plot development. This ending was Qin Yu's choice.

Please persevere and finish reading. The first half might be a bit depressing, but by the time you've finished, tears might well up in your eyes involuntarily, just like Qin Yu's words: "Forever young, forever with tears in our eyes." You will always be young, and I will always be with tears in my eyes. The protagonist doesn't have a powerful protagonist halo like in some other novels; he becomes a hero step by step, just like Naruto in Naruto. ☺️

I can only say I'm heartbroken over Qin Yu's character. She was such a wonderful character! Her coldness towards the male lead made me think someone else was pretending, but it turns out she was the one faking it. I really thought they'd end up together, but alas, I never expected it. It's so well-written, I was moved to tears, and I even stayed in the shower reading it.

Haha, I've noticed a strange phenomenon in the book's comment section 🤔—the readers of this book can be roughly divided into three groups: one group didn't get into it (judging from the reading time of the book when the comment was posted), read a little bit and thought it was a bad book; another group got deeply into it and marveled at the world in the book; and the third group couldn't stand…

My thoughts after watching it many times over the years (female lead Qin Yu) The main storyline of the book is the protagonist's growth, while the subplot is Shen Hanqing's plan. From the moment Shen wins 5,000 yuan from Xu Zheng, Qin and Xu's fates begin to intertwine.

It depicts growth and portrays reality; it's really good. Life is never perfect People always feel happiest when they are approaching happiness, and become anxious and insecure when they are already happy. Ultimately, growth still lacks radicals.
