   This book is truly a treasure. Although it's not widely read or rated these days, it's incredibly good. On the surface, it's simple, but its inner beauty is poetic. The male and female leads are exceptionally well-developed; they share a common trait: resilience and optimism. The male lead lost both his parents at fifteen or sixteen, raising his family alone without complaint. At an age when he should be a vibrant and spirited young man, he and his brother shoulder the burden of supporting their family. The female lead is a time traveler who lacked love in her previous life. Although she now lives in extreme poverty, the love from those around her gives her courage and allows her to believe in life again. The interactions between the male and female leads are also wonderful. The male lead is genuinely gentle, not in a contrived way, but radiating from within.

    Who understands? A man is dying, and a golden eagle, with steady steps, flaps its wings and sings a Peking Opera tune on the rooftop. It's singing "Bring in the Wine," "Life is short, so seize the day"—it's celebrating death, celebrating its impending rebirth. The scene is breathtaking. The golden eagle leaps, its body plummeting straight into the abyss like a kite with a broken string—"Thud!" With a muffled thud, the golden eagle crashes into a pile of flesh, and then a faint shadow peels away from its body, vanishing in an instant. This leap is the protagonist's gamble with his life. He knows the female lead is going to "dig a pit to bury him, giving him no chance," so he must end the golden eagle's life before the original owner dies completely, allowing its soul to enter the body before the female lead buries the corpse. The time difference is the line between life and death. This setting transforms the "time travel rule" from background setting into the core conflict of the plot—time travel is no longer a free cheat code, but a high-stakes gamble.
