   A white-clad playboy, strolling aimlessly through the alleys of Chang'an's Xieqiao Bridge, riding his horse and drinking, his clothes dyed red by the setting sun, exuding unrestrained arrogance—who wouldn't praise this young man? The long river, the setting sun, the distant bugle call—a young general, his name resounding in the northern deserts, guarding the north for years, just like the young man he once was. The scorching sun, the cold moon, the rice wine of Jiangnan, the long street's elegance and tranquility, all permeated with a silent sorrow… (Cross out the last sentence.) Yes, the first world of the live stream is about a young general, a good book with a score over 9, the author's writing is excellent. The second book, also the first world, is about a young prime minister, white-clad, pure and untainted, to be admired from afar but not to be trifled with. I am carefree by nature; if I have no business, I don't want to stir up the muddy waters of the court. Isn't this beautiful land beautiful? He single-handedly stirred up the political storm, creating a peaceful and prosperous era, all because of a childhood crush. He entered the court for the emperor, a testament to the saying "a single encounter leads to a lifetime of friendship." But the walls of that friendship are truly high. I've always been stubborn, unwilling to let go. Even after living half a lifetime, with some changes, the outcome remains the same. Even now, all I want to do is ask you directly why. The title is fitting—a real crematorium, the kind you can't follow. A great book, over nine points, with good writing. Absolutely no angst, no angst! The second book fits that description perfectly.

There's a scene I remember vividly: the female lead wants to become a university professor because she's always been a writer and is afraid of becoming unemployed if she doesn't pass the entrance exam. My first thought was that the male lead would say, "I'll support you," but he says, "I believe you can do it." So many "I'll support you" moments end up being "I support you." The male lead respects and supports the female lead; he's a gentle, refined gentleman—who wouldn't love him?
