When Zhuang Zi'ang is in despair, the little butterfly gives him hope. Their mutual redemption is incredibly sweet yet incredibly heartbreaking. In the end, the little butterfly is gone, and Zhuang Zi'ang follows her. The story ends with Zhuang Zi'ang disappearing from the little butterfly's grave. No one knows where he went; only two butterflies flutter among the flowers. Book 2: Wen He is great; he redeemed the whole world. Wen He is insignificant; he couldn't redeem himself. Gentleness is synonymous with Wen He. In this broken family, Wen He didn't take his own life or become assimilated. He carved out his own path, healing the world with his songs, yet unable to heal his own heart. Book 3: Beginning: I'm sick. Ending: I can't control him anymore! He's out! This can be said to be a reflection of many people's childhood. My parents' harshness became my shackles. Their so-called love was the first step that pushed me into the abyss. It was the first step in the development of another personality, and also the last step towards destruction. Family, if you could choose, please don't let me come into this world, thank you.

She could have had a bright future, but hatred blinded her, and she ultimately embarked on the path of revenge for her father. I think heroes should not be forgotten.
