"This novel originally had only one idea: If the cost of becoming stronger is not your own pain, but the pain of the person you love, would you still be willing to become stronger?"
Lin Shen is not the protagonist of a refreshing novel in the traditional sense. He was cowardly and selfish. He once used accounting books as a shortcut, and then paid a higher price than anyone else.
But he eventually learned to accept the cost and was even willing to bear the cost for others.
As for Su Wan - she is the kind of heroine I want to write. Not clinging or crying, she chose to stand in the void with Lin Shen because 'I can't pay back what I owe him, so I might as well pay it back slowly'.
One hundred thousand years is a long time.
But with two people together, it won't be that long.
