   So touching 😭 I was incredibly moved after reading it and couldn't calm down for a long time. The ensemble cast was so well portrayed. Every woman was so resilient and true to her original aspirations, helping and supporting each other to achieve the perfect ending. The underlying logic of the small world and the "villain" setting in the three books are like a microcosm of our society. What lies beyond the ivory tower? How can an individual, as insignificant as dust, carve out their own light in a world full of darkness? Even if an ant tries to shake a tree, no matter how weak the power, it still has meaning.
