   Getting close to you means getting close to pain, staying away from you means staying away from happiness. The synopsis doesn't do justice to the main text; the main text is powerful, and the author's portrayal of conflict is excellent! This is definitely a work imbued with the emotions of the author, the reader, and the characters. No one can let go of any of them, because the characters have become flesh and blood.

   The first one is a microcosm of reality. The second one is also very realistic, with a strong sense of immersion. It was extremely painful to finish reading, and I wished I could step into the story and slap everyone in the face (but it's not the traditional, purely malicious, and cruel treatment of women!). I haven't read the third one in a long time. The fourth one is also similar to a microcosm of reality, but it has a decent ending. I personally think it's very exciting and I really like it. The fifth one is an adaptation of reality. After reading the first chapter, I was still so angry that I wanted to kill someone, but it's also very good. It features two female characters and is similar to a flashback. Both main characters die in the first chapter (angst warning). The sixth one is self-explanatory.

    Mu Yunsheng burned a handful of paper money. There was no wind, yet the ashes inexplicably curled. He smiled, "You've come to see me." He raised the wine jar and gently clinked it against the air, "Cheers." The wine, like liquid poured from clouds, is like peach blossoms tempered by snow. Whether drunk or sober, I ask nothing; heaven and earth are but a cup of smoke. Year after year, I plant peach blossoms, but the widow never returns. The world is bustling, yet my longing is heavy. I fear our meeting is but a dream; who can say whether it's fate or a mistake?
