   This is a super good post-apocalyptic novel; I still want more after finishing it. Nian Nian is gentle and considerate, not a saint, doesn't accept her fate, and is vengeful with high emotional and intellectual intelligence. After being reborn, she immediately goes to find Jing Ge. The two are straightforward and quick to reconcile. Jing Ge is a doting husband, incredibly powerful, and completely obedient to his wife Nian Nian. Initially, he had an excessive protective instinct towards her, but after they communicated, he trusted her abilities. There are several other couples in the story, and the other characters' romances are also very sweet. [Kissing emojis]

    This is a high-quality, top-ranked female-oriented fantasy novel. It's a very niche and niche genre, but exceptionally enjoyable and original. The female lead is intelligent, and the plot and subject matter are quite interesting, with a very imaginative storyline. The ending is heartbreaking for the male lead, although the two eventually fall in love. 🤩 The female lead awakens her lie-detecting abilities during a shipwreck and becomes the island's owner. From then on, she hates lies and loves using greedy and lying people as fertilizer to water her flowers. 🪷 The yandere male lead is the highest authority on land, making a stunning entrance. Having witnessed his parents' tragic love story in childhood, he severed his own emotions, becoming a heartless and loveless psychopath who enjoys manipulating people's hearts, using their greed to create high-temperature heat energy to appreciate their despair and descent into depravity. Fearing everyone would die and no one to provide for his amusement, he plans to sacrifice the female lead's island. He feigns weakness and acts like a manipulative girl in front of her, deceiving himself that all his sacrifices are only to make her willingly give up the island. Both fall for him, stubbornly refusing to admit it. In the end, the male protagonist, in his lucid moments, succumbs to depravity and seeks redemption, giving all the symbols of power and freedom to the female protagonist, and ultimately loses. 🤩
