    Reader note

    1. Li Xiaoya, a girl from a mountain village, crosses paths with a wealthy young man from Beijing through a variety show. Through sincerity and wisdom, she gains family and friendship. The male lead, Sheng Yuxiao, is nine years her senior, initially silently protecting her, later developing a sweet and doting romance. The entire story is free of angst, focusing on a growth-oriented, family-loving relationship. The female lead is not a typical naive and innocent character; she possesses both cunning and kindness. The family relationships are nuanced, and the ensemble cast is vividly portrayed. 2. Jiang Yuqing, the only daughter of the Jiang family in a century, is born with good fortune, helping her family rise to power. From farming to political intrigue, she rises step by step. The male lead, Jing Yan, appears cold but is actually doting, later willing to slaughter an enemy nation to protect her. Blending elements of space cultivation and farming, the female lead's growth is solid; the family interactions are heartwarming, and the male lead's "raising" character is captivating. 3. After being reborn, Sang Ning escapes her exploitative family and is pampered by the Lu family of Beijing's elite circle. Her biological father, her crazy second brother, and her useless eldest brother all become her devoted "daughter slaves." She tears apart the white moonlight (idealized love interest), tramples on the scheming woman, and ultimately reaches the pinnacle of power. The entire male lead group is crazy about their sister, and the female lead's beautiful, strong, and tragic backstory is captivating; the revenge plot is combined with sweet romance, making for a high-energy and fast-paced story.

    The author's writing is very nice. The female lead and the original female lead became very good friends. The male lead also loved the female lead very much, but due to the interference of a villain, the two separated. When the female lead appeared, she was 22 years in the future. In the new timeline, the male lead thought the female lead disappeared after walking into an alley, while the female lead thought she had just jumped off a cliff. Time looped, and 17-year-old Xia Zhi met 39-year-old Duan Qingye.

"My life was gloomy and bitter all year round, until one day, I accidentally looked up and saw the only moonlight shining." "In the autumn of my seventeenth year, someone pinned starlight on my desolate wilderness." Qiao Zhixi's tears fell on the half-repaired ballet shoes. She saw Xia Zhi's reddened ankles. This girl who had never even held the barre before was now standing on tiptoe in front of the whole class for her. "Registration form..." Qiao Zhixi wrote her name.

    The early part is quite mathematically demanding and a bit boring; you can skip around. The story revolves around two long-distance relationships stemming from academic and professional struggles, culminating in a reunion at the peak of their lives as they strive to become better versions of themselves. In this book, mathematics is not presented as cold symbols, but as warm metaphors. It tells us that love can be understood, even if it cannot be fully explained.
