    Reader note

    This book is quite good. It depicts a slow-paced world with delicate writing. The protagonist initially seems to be influenced by emotions implanted by the world's will, which might explain why many people gave it low ratings. The plot progresses slowly, creating a unique sense of tension and immersion. It's very engaging and addictive if you read patiently. Although the initial setup is a typical campus novel, it's surprisingly refreshing. There are plot twists, undeniable right and wrong, rebirth, abandonment and betrayal, pity and possession, distinct perspectives, and both beauty and darkness. In this environment, the protagonist doesn't blindly follow but has his own judgment, unlike the typical happy ending for a system host. Overall, this book is really good, a very welcome addition to Tomato's writing style. I hope it doesn't stop updating; I really, really love it. The only downside is that there aren't many chapters, and the number of followers is also relatively small. It's the book I'm most worried about being abandoned out of all the ones I'm following. I'm still keeping up with it, and I feel like at this pace, the first male lead might not even finish a hundred chapters (which is great for someone like me who hopes their favorite novels will never end, but everyone has their own taste, and if you like this type of story, it's definitely worth investing in!). I hope the author keeps up the good work! (★>U<★) It's really, really well written.

    "You said it yourself, a king who cries is one who can hear the truth." I looked at him. I remembered the day Fu Hao died, Wu Ding kneeling by her bedside, trembling with grief, half his hair white. I remembered the emperor's tears falling on Fu Hao's hand, like a belated rain. "My father cried," Zu Ji said, his voice as soft as if talking to himself, "He cried for Fu Hao, he cried for me… perhaps he cried too. But he still didn't listen. The tears were real, but what lay behind them was blocked by something. Mo, do you know what blocked them?" "Power," I said. He nodded, as if finally receiving confirmation of a question he already knew the answer to. He reached out and grasped my wrist. His hand was icy cold, as if just pulled from the Huan River, but his grip was tight. "I'm leaving," he said, "Don't see me too far. Just the city gate. Any further, and it won't be good for you."

    I recommend this new book. I've already finished reading the serialized version, and here are my thoughts: The premise is very novel, subverting tropes and avoiding mindlessness. The characters are vivid, and the story becomes increasingly sophisticated as it progresses. It features a naturally developing teacher-student romance and a brotherhood that transcends social status, all portrayed with great detail, feeling like something that could happen to someone you know. In terms of scope, it probably revolves around "dreams and rebirth"—a seemingly simple yet extremely rare pursuit. The characters are well-developed, with no mere plot devices, and the growth arc of the villains is particularly impressive.
