   The novel *Xie Junxing* is another masterpiece of fantasy epic following *Life and Death Are Wearing Me Out* and *Taibai Jinxing Is a Little Annoying*. It opens with an absurd setting in the late Tang Dynasty. While lacking the experience and writing style of its two authors, the novel presents the characters of the three realms—immortals, humans, and demons—from the perspective of ordinary working people, revealing each character's inner monologue rather than rigidly defining good and evil. It truly interprets the line between right and wrong as simply a matter of perspective, and each character leaves a significant mark on the annals of history.

Not anxiety, not restlessness—it was energy overflowing. It was about to spill. She spread out a new sheet of paper. What should she write? Write about Xiao Chen. Write about the kind of person who drains others' energy. Write about the kind of person who says "future is important."

The moment the pen touched the paper, the lock in her chest flickered, then steadied—not a violent flash, but a continuous, steady glow, like a lamp slowly burning after being lit.
