    The author is promoting their own novel. It's not tagged as a sweet romance or modern romance. The system is something I can't change. The author is a newbie, and the writing is a bit immature, but I will continue to work hard. The ending is a mix of bad and happy, depending on how the reader interprets it. The ending is already decided. Overall, excluding the ending, the author feels it's quite angsty. If you don't feel that way, then disregard this statement [facepalm][facepalm]. He An, a girl who has experienced a series of abuses, bullying, betrayal by friends, conflicts with family, the torment of depression, the loss of her beloved children, and the deaths of three others, a twisted dream of humanity—after waking from this dream, what will He An do? Those interested can give it a try. The first volume is finished, and the second volume is in preparation.
