   A non-routine article that is delayed by the title of the book is not a cool article, it is a new book that has just been published. If you're fed up with bloody plots, you can give this one a try. The author's writing is very deep, and his love words are penetrating to the bone, but there is very little romance throughout. The heroine spends most of her time fighting against feudalism, running a school for girls, and building a career. The plot lines are intertwined, so you need to read them carefully. The original poems have the rhyme of Red Mansions, and many plots need to be read over and over again in order to appreciate the shocking and deep feelings underneath. It says "let go". There is no description of flowers before and under the moon, but there is deep affection everywhere. It has great staying power, causing depression but also ultimately healing. It is suitable for readers who can calm down and pursue the quality of text and the depth of thought. Love in the world returns to a dream. This book talks about how to continue walking with scars after waking up from the dream.
