    Reader note

    The writing is excellent, as you can tell from the chapter order. A happy ending, fantasy, sweet and angsty, beautiful love story—the author pours out heartbreaking longing, every stroke of the pen filled with infatuation. In the ancient times when humans, gods, and demons coexisted, the ancient true gods, to protect the peace of the three realms, divided into five factions and ruled as emperors. The daughter of the ancient Eastern Emperor was born in response to this, enjoying unparalleled favor and inheriting the throne. She herself was the most privileged person in the three realms, and on her path of overcoming adversity, she encountered two men destined for her downfall. One cherished him dearly, the other treated her like trash. The Starry Sky God, whom she treated like trash, could see through the secrets of heaven, approached her, took her as his disciple, and nurtured her, all only to help her fulfill her mission as a god. The Qingqiu Fox Clan Crown Prince Tu Shan Si, who cherished him dearly, had a divine love affair with her, a love where the woman was superior to the man. This first love, however, was fraught with discord amidst a power struggle, leaving the two deeply in love unable to be together. Although she resolutely turned away, never to see him again, Tu Shan Si was willing to offer his kingdom as a dowry and sever his tail to prove his heart. Among all living beings, the greatest pain is to think in silence and to love but not be loved in return; even gods cannot escape their destiny.

    Reader note

    I recommend the first-person narration of *May and Anran*, a novel that is both interesting and meaningful. The author uses accessible language and a clever plot to tell vivid historical stories, showcasing the joys and sorrows, the ups and downs of historical figures two thousand years ago. The novel portrays Liu He as a learned and virtuous emperor who brought joy to the poor and needy, a man of flesh and blood who loved both his country and his beloved. The love between Liu He and Mei Hongyi is sincere and profound, captivating the reader. The author internalizes his profound experiences of witnessing the lives of ordinary people, weaving them into the novel's narrative. This builds a bridge of emotional resonance between the author and the reader, allowing them to feel and experience alongside the characters, overcoming obstacles, connecting with them on a deeper level, and truly realizing the social function of "cultivating virtue and upholding morality." The work not only has an engaging story and a compelling emotional space, but also profound philosophical insights. Building upon shared stories and common anxieties, the author constructs a novelistic world of shared reflection, imbued with profound contemplation on life, humanity, society, nation, country, and history, radiating intellectual brilliance. A masterpiece of the year, worthy of widespread promotion!
