   Reader note

   This novel doesn't belong to any existing genre. It boasts the grand temporal and spatial scope of *War and Peace*, the sensory and memory descriptions of *In Search of Lost Time*, and the world-building of *The Lord of the Rings*, yet ultimately settles on the everyday life of a woman making rice balls, knitting scarves, and grooming her cat. While its rating isn't high, it's a masterpiece of meticulous detail! In this era that needs awakening, the author has created a female protagonist with a rare, almost divine quality in the world of Chinese romance novels! I've always believed that humanity needs to pursue divinity to match the development of civilization; I can't achieve it, but the protagonist, Shen Ning, has!
