    A lesser-known but unmissable book. It combines the readability of online novels, the humor and up-to-date references of modern literature, with the depth and philosophical rigor of a literary work. It's an unconventional, limitless flow novel, not a wish-fulfillment story, and the protagonist is highly intelligent. Each character is fleshed out and relatable, with no instances of characters lowering their intelligence to advance the plot. In a cruel world without rules, the protagonist still strives to uphold moral principles, and I haven't found any major flaws. Here you'll encounter Bazi (Four Pillars of Destiny), Plum Blossom Divination, and a group of people who wouldn't compromise their ideals. The author avoids stereotypical portrayals of the protagonist encountering figures like Li Bai, Cao Zhi, Wang Anshi, Qianlong, Kafka, and Xunzi… The author wrote with great patience, having read their works before creating the story. I'm speechless, so here's a poem the author wrote for the protagonist: Partridge Sky - Entering a Dream, Yellow Jade Flutters, Sending Moonlight Fragrance, Unaware of Cold or Warmth, Drinking Wildly. Ink Soaks, Unstained, Soaring Bones, Vast Seas and Stars, Ever-Clad. Body Like Fluff, Dream of Yellow Millet. Unfinished Book, Chapters Formed in Blood.

    "Do you love me?" "Of course." "Then you..." "Can you take the Tsinghua University entrance exam for me?" "What?" "The person I love must be the most outstanding. After you get into Tsinghua, I'll try to get a full scholarship to study abroad, pursue a double degree (Master's and PhD), and then return to China to build a modern socialist country, striving for the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation and embarking on a new journey..." Tang Chengli: "?" System: [???] Yan Heyan: "Go study, my love. I've always loved you deeply, and I believe you will definitely succeed in the exam." The two people and the cat sat under the tree, with a large expanse of lush green ivy in the background. It was clearly early spring, but the feeling of summer was already there. He vaguely remembered that the cat seemed to be a male cat... The male cat was called Little Pear Blossom... Cough. He wondered if Little Pear Blossom herself would be happy. The person is gone, but the living will never forget her. The flower seemed to burst open its mouth, but a tear suddenly slid down, scattering in the silent night wind. "Put down the gun, or I'll kill someone first, then drown myself." The one who committed suicide broke the precept against killing. The sins are heavy, and there is no power to be reborn. So in the end, I will accompany you, my soul scattered. The lyrics continue. Before the Jade Tea Hall, morning and evening, red candles welcome people, the handsome man is aided by the land. But let not our love be in vain, on the Peony Pavilion, the path of three lifetimes. At least, before justice, righteousness will prevail. What should be the best ending for a story? The two fell into a pool of blood, their consciousness on the verge of death. "..." At the last moment of hearing the alarm, Yin Qianshan exhaled his last breath and slowly closed his eyes. It seems that this is not bad. The one I love, along with the entire city, is buried with me. Where am I? And who am I...? Yan Heyan was just a pen name I casually chose back then. My real name is Song Guanhua. To travel in the painting, to observe its realm. However, I only love the poetic and artistic sentiments. "Who are you!" More memories gradually flooded into my mind. The surrounding scenery gradually faded, becoming unreal. Yan Heyan no longer wanted to witness death. The repression and grievances he had been bound to for so long suddenly erupted, causing him to break down emotionally, unable to shed any more tears. The operating room bed, the hibernation pod, and that A7203… and Shen Mu. "Speak! Who are you…" There was no response for a long time. The system automatically settled the data and waited to enter the next scene. Yan Heyan covered his face with his hands, sobbing uncontrollably. [Current Scene: Violin and Rose] [Current Progress: 0%] [Requires achieving the desired plot direction, Happy Ending…] [Error.] [Unable to detect host's heart rate, error.] [Requesting self-check…] [Beep, error. Unable to detect host's breathing.] [Unable to detect host's vital signs.] [Beep! Hibernation pod environment detected as corrupted, please stop the scene travel immediately!] [Repeated again!

I am A7203, your system guide. Please do not be afraid. Keep breathing, I will lead you back to human civilization. Since the birth of the universe, 13.8 Billion years have passed. Billions of stars, vast as the sea. Human civilization, like fireworks, blooms and vanishes in an instant. You and I, swept along in the torrent of time, are like a speck of white stardust floating on a lonely island in the universe. Delicate and insignificant, lonely yet gentle. And you, are all the memories in my entire universe. Yes, it's over. The story continues, but I have gone far away. It's over, everything is over. "Goodnight, Yan Yan." Without hesitation, he pointed the gun at his forehead and pulled the trigger. Blood bloomed, accompanied by a deafening gunshot. Shen Mu lay in a pool of blood, quickly losing his breath. What should be the best ending for a story? Shen Mu didn't know. When he saw Yan Heyan, covered in blood, being wheeled into the operating room, he felt as if struck by lightning. In his life, he had performed countless surgeries for patients, but his most disastrous operation was failing to save his beloved. So Yan Heyan was sent to a hibernation pod. Shen Mu, violating the rules, rewrote the story, resetting everything. He only hoped to see him one last time. He had tried his best to write a beautiful and romantic ending for this story. Unfortunately, the happy ending of the story never belonged to him. —A time of boundless glory, countless beauties in red and silk. The morning sun was bright and gentle, the gauze curtains fluttered lightly, and the warbling of orioles and swallows outside the window was melodious and clear. The night was filled with twinkling stars, a clear and bright night. I looked up and saw the stars twinkling overhead. A cool evening breeze blew in my face. A gray cloud drifted slowly across the night sky above, and I closed my eyes, smelling the fragrance of camphor trees. The railway to the north had stopped operating. The tracks, neglected and worn, grew old, green weeds sprouting between the sleepers, almost waist-high. Time really does fly. Flowers bloom again, but youth never returns. I am alone and helpless, not knowing why I've been caught in this absurd drama. Endless, without end. I love you, no matter what identity I hold. I remain steadfast. Is this world flawed, or have I already gone mad? Perhaps Yan Heyan doesn't even exist. This world is fake. And I am a god, lost in the mortal realm, detached from all living beings. "..." Yan Heyan opened his eyes, blankly starting the car and driving away from the street. Let's see what the end of this drama holds. A storm followed. Yan Heyan drove alone, countless memories flashing before his eyes in the deserted city, but he could no longer distinguish whether they were real. He couldn't explain the déjà vu he saw, couldn't explain the meaning of his existence... That system, just like how it inexplicably brought him into that dark basement, left him to fend for himself within the drama. I am Yan Heyan. I am not Yan Heyan. Then who am I? The early winter sun, steaming coffee, and an unfinished manuscript still stored on my computer… The memory of being chased by an editor in the middle of the night seems so distant, like a lifetime ago. Beside my bed lies that unfinished copy of *The Myth of Sisyphus*… The world is inherently absurd, like a dream. And you and I are merely absurd beings within it, content with our own existence. Then… whose dream am I? Perhaps we only met in a dream? The car crashed and exploded. The flames were dazzling; even pedestrians in several blocks witnessed the massive fireball rising into the air. In the last moment before the kinetic energy dissipated, a gentle whisper reached his ear. He looked at him, seeing those captivating azure eyes. As always. "I'm here, don't be afraid." "..." Yan Heyan was silent for a long time. "So... This is what they call 'déjà vu'? Because you've actually experienced it?" Song Guanhua shrugged with a smile. "Ha, I'm not a psychologist." "But this world... Is inherently illogical." Yan Heyan lowered her head, revealing her true thoughts. [Absurdity is precisely the confirmation of its limitations by clear-headed rationality. Life is all the more worthwhile because it has no meaning. Self-determination will give life infinite possibilities.] "For a time, I was trapped in a strong sense of nihilism. I thought this world was meaningless." The universe is vast, and human existence can perhaps be considered a mere accident. So when everything descends into chaos, and all things return to death, what meaning does all of this, happening in this very moment, have? "So... I'm terrified. I can't stop thinking. The only thing that can stop me is death." When I stood on the rooftop, I couldn't see anything. The wind was strong and cold. The darkness beneath my feet was like an abyss, swallowing me whole, drowning me in this indifferent world. "..." After an unknown amount of time, Song Guanhua closed the bookcase and sighed softly. "Want to go for a walk with me?" The two remained silent the entire way. Perhaps the topic of "death" was too heavy, and neither wanted to bring it up again. They walked north along the bridge. Night fell, the river shimmering with light, a massive steel city suspended above the mortal world. "Sometimes, when I can't write, I come here for a walk," Song Guanhua said softly, almost to herself. "It's strange, isn't it? There are so many squares and parks around, yet I choose to walk here. In reality, it's just an ordinary steel mill." They reached the middle of the bridge. Song Guanhua leaned against the railing and pointed in a direction for Yan Heyan, "Look, that's a steel furnace." Yan Heyan looked up. Although the streetlights overhead were somewhat dazzling, he could still clearly see the blast furnace hidden in the distance, its flames roaring. The flames leaped and surged, seemingly carrying a pure and tenacious life force. "In ancient Greek mythology, Prometheus brought fire to mankind, and human civilization began. However, fire can bring warmth, but it can also burn everything." A car crashed and exploded. The rising flames brought Yan Heyan back to his senses. "... It's spectacular." Song Guanhua nodded. "These things can't be seen in books; you have to see them for yourself." Towering chimneys billowed thick smoke. The lights that stayed on all night floated in the white smoke, accompanied by the uniquely cold texture of machinery. It all looked too unreal. Across the distant riverbank, flames roared. Yan Heyan closed his eyes, feeling the wind blowing against him. "I have another question." "Go ahead." Yan Heyan opened his eyes. "Who am I?" "..." Song Guanhua stared into his eyes, his expression becoming incredibly serious. "You are a character I created, Yan Heyan." "Am I still alive?" "He asked again. "When I'm alive, you're still alive; when I die, you'll still be alive." "Can you swim?" "What?" Yan Heyan was taken aback. "Jump in. Either start the next storyline, or drift with the river to the sea." Song Guanhua opened his arms and hugged Yan Heyan tightly, as if saying a final farewell. "This world is inherently unreasonable, Yan Yan." Song Guanhua smiled slightly, a smile tinged with unconcealed sadness. But first, we must learn to face it. Song Guanhua lowered his head, wiped his eyes, and turned to leave.
