   From beginning to end, it's a classic female-torture novel: a crazed second female lead, a vicious mother-in-law who's always picking fights, a sister-in-law who's just pretending to be a third female lead, a weak and indecisive male lead, and the female lead surrounded by villains.

   The cruel twist of fate: everyone is given life by their mother, so why do good people often die young? She possesses the superpower to resurrect others, and she wholeheartedly and responsibly tries to revive her deceased relatives. She endures hardship and toil without complaint, receiving no gratitude in return, yet she doesn't blame them. Instead, they think she's a fraud, beating and verbally abusing her. She still selflessly helps them revive, but some ungrateful deceased relatives even try to kill her. She feels heartbroken. It's her mother who appears and protects her. A mother's love is praiseworthy because even in death, she wants to protect her living relatives. She wants to revive her mother, but because she's busy working out of town, she couldn't see her mother one last time. The plight of young people is that first- and second-tier cities can't accommodate those without ambition, and third- and fourth-tier cities can't accommodate their souls. When she returns to the moment her mother was alive, how could she not know that her mother would leave her? Happiness is actually very simple. Eating her mother's cooking makes her feel like she has a home, while outside she feels like a homeless person. But she failed; she became truly homeless. Everyone says that home is where her mother is, but without her mother, she has no home at all. She doesn't know how to go on living. She mixes her tears with rice, filled with self-blame. The pain traps her in her own world, preventing her from escaping. Why are others so happy? She so envies others with complete families. Her heart is missing a piece, and she can only eat salty rice with tears in her eyes to survive. But who is she living for? She doesn't know. She only knows to live like a walking corpse for now. Only by living can she not betray the feelings her mother had when she saved her. But she really doesn't know how to live anymore. How should she live a good life? Perhaps she needs enough time to become numb before she can regain the feelings she should have.

It was supposed to be a sweet story, but when the male and female leads separated in sixth grade, the female lead saw the male lead chatting with other girls and forgot she'd been waiting for him in the classroom for hours—maybe half an hour, I'm not entirely sure. Then, she abandoned him and ran off to her dorm. She told him that if he didn't respond, he'd leave the next day. And he actually did! Later, the female lead studied hard and got into university, but then she discovered he was playing with one of his neighbor's younger sisters. She started ignoring him again. The beginning was so sweet, but the ending was incredibly heartbreaking; I cried for over half an hour. And then, the next day, she weighed herself and had lost three pounds.
