    She suddenly remembered what the old soldier from Yizhou had said. He said that when General Xia was alive, he often stood alone by the river watching the boats. When someone asked him what he was looking at, he said, "Watching someone I promised long ago." At the time, she didn't understand. She thought he was waiting. Now she suddenly felt that perhaps not. Perhaps he was also venting—looking at each of the boats that had taken seven years to build, counting each of the broken iron chains, letting go of each promise he had made. When he had seen all the boats, counted all the chains, and let go of all the promises, he would be empty. Empty, he would stop waiting. Stop waiting, and he would leave. She stood up, went to her desk, and relit the lamp. The ink in the inkstone wasn't completely dry. She picked up her pen and, at the end of the article "The Towering Ship," below the phrase "like words finally spoken by someone," added a small line: "Actually, that voice was more like a tree that had stood in the wind for many years, finally pulling its roots out of the cracks in the rock."

I never imagined a book like this would appear on Tomato (a Chinese online literature platform). It's the pinnacle of contemporary romance novels focusing on intellectual homosexuality. After reading it, I couldn't get into anything else. The author's literary foundation is profound, far surpassing that of novice authors. The writing is divine, incredibly delicate. The male lead's love is passionate, but not mindless. The female lead is brilliant; after reading, you'll not only fall in love with the male lead but also with the female lead. Suitable for discerning, seasoned readers; a unique and extreme emotional rollercoaster, not clichéd. You'll thank me after reading it. Don't look at the rating yet, it just came out.

    This story, set against the backdrop of a war of "liberation," tells of the clash between the views of two idealists from different stages of life regarding the conflict of war. Both the male and female protagonists are very rational; the absence of explicit psychological descriptions effectively reveals their inner thoughts. The writing style is more akin to a published book than an online novel, reflecting the author's usual reading preferences. It's a well-paced and worthwhile read. However, this genre is less popular, and the climax only begins at the end of the first volume and the beginning of the second, so the pace isn't particularly fast. The author is almost done reading.
