    This is a very realistic novel. The male protagonist has two children with another woman, and the female protagonist only finds out that he already has a family outside of marriage. It's their daughter who tells her this. Even though the man's heart is no longer with the family, she still refuses to divorce him… It portrays the heartbreaking story of most women who sacrifice their careers for their families. It's worth reading. Thank you to my friends for the book review.

    A lighthearted coming-of-age story that's neither overly sweet, overly exciting, nor filler. The writing is smooth and engaging, requiring a little patience at the beginning, but the plot gets increasingly captivating as it progresses! It's definitely not the kind of book that grabs your attention at the start but leaves you bewildered after chapter 20! It features a large cast of characters but maintains clear logic, with a main plot, a clear storyline, and foreshadowing elements, making it a high-quality long novel.

    Second, the male lead is funny yet serious, kind but not saintly, and principled—highly recommended. Fourth, the male lead is a transmigrator who, after learning his lesson, becomes ruthless and not a good person in the traditional sense—a satisfying read, a pseudo-comeback story with face-slapping moments, a disguise-style story—highly recommended. Fifth, good-looking, the interaction between the male lead and the evil god is engaging, and the plot is touching. Sixth, good-looking but with a bad ending, but the author's other books are all very good—a satisfying urban life story with various professions. The seventh book is my favorite. The theme is very novel, and the idea is also very high. It features a Xiangtong person with a sense of justice and ideals, but with an unusual background and experience. The author portrays his psychological transformation very subtly, making him a character who cannot be defined by the masses. The other characters in the book are also very well-developed: a policeman who pursues justice and sacrifices himself for it, remembering his original mission until his death, and entrusting the protagonist to cleanse the world of evil after his death; a policeman whose ideals are rekindled by the death of his apprentice, but who hides the truth after discovering it, even at the cost of being suspended and being remembered by the public; a murderer who is weak but kind; a police chief who is a double agent, who is brainwashed into becoming one of the perpetrators despite being a victim... It's a good read; the last book, the author must have done it, it's quite realistic, cruel yet touching, it is indeed light and funny at the beginning, but in the end, all I can say is that I would still be Chinese in my next life.
