    Reader note

    I've read both *Gongqiang Liu* and *Xiaoxiao Yusheng Chi* several times, especially *Gongqiang Liu*, which has a strong sense of destiny, superb details, and an unforgettable aftertaste. I'd call it the pinnacle of Tomato Literature (although I think it was originally on Zhihu). *Xiaoxiao Yusheng Chi* is a youthful, melancholic, pure love story; I finished it in two days, and it has a powerful aftertaste. Although many popular protagonists are silent, there are so many of those cautious moments during adolescence, and I found it incredibly relatable! *Chunri Yan* is written by Bailu Chengshuang; she writes many very interesting short stories. I really like the vibrant energy of the female lead in this book; it makes you feel more energetic. *Wenrou Yegu* has a little bit of a "hehehe" vibe, but I found the plot very sweet and heartwarming. If you like sweet and romantic urban novels, don't miss it! *Qiu Mishu* is a bit unconventional here, but it feels more unique than many CEO novels. It doesn't feel formulaic, yet it's still quite plausible and worth a try.

    "The primordial power of the Nine Heavens is not as great as the light in her eyes when she looked at him." Sweet? Sweet to the point of being bitter. Because you know that behind that light lies nine lifetimes of separation, countless times watching him vanish before your eyes, yet being powerless to stop it.
