    Reader note

    The characters are not templates; every obsession is believable. The female protagonist, Lin Die'er, is not a flat, one-dimensional "tortured heroine." From a spoiled, disliked heiress at fifteen, to a suspicious and jealous wife in a secluded mansion, and finally to a secret agent who endures death, her growth is smooth, painful, and traceable. Her "saying one thing but meaning another" and "pushing away her lover" are not mindless antics, but rather a personality shaped by a young girl's pride, the pain of losing a child, and the helplessness of a chaotic world. Readers can empathize and won't wonder, "Why didn't she explain?" The male protagonist, Zhang Zhiming, also breaks free from the clichéd "mad warlord" trope. He is an awkward, silent, morally upright ordinary person—he feels guilty for offending her at night for a lifetime, tests her true feelings with a feigned concubine, and spends ten years searching for her across mountains and rivers. This deep affection—"clumsy with words but waiting a lifetime"—is more poignant and has a stronger lasting impact than a domineering CEO shouting "Woman, you can't escape me." Even the two male characters, Xiao Qihao and Yang Yanchen, are not simply villains or plot devices: one commits evil out of jealousy and obsession, but ultimately upholds his principles and atones for his sins in the face of national crisis; the other prioritizes national righteousness, hiding his love as an "older brother" and protecting her with his life. There are no absolutely good or bad people; everyone has their own unavoidable circumstances, making the characters believable.

    My heart is pounding. I initially thought it was just a typical fangirl story, with the female lead being an assistant to a boy band who relentlessly protects them, even at the cost of her life. But the ending reveals that her actions stemmed from a previous accident where her parents died and she lost her sense of taste, leading to subconscious self-destructive tendencies. Later, the author killed off the female lead on New Year's Eve for the readers. [I'm almost crying][I'm almost crying][crying]

    This is a book I'd stay up all night to finish! I haven't read such an interesting book in a long time.
