1. 1 九 Nine-Tenths Foolish 九分傻 Wei Pingshuo魏平硕Urban204k WordsCompleted “Marital relations” used to be a taboo subject, but these days, people no longer find it hard to talk about. Studies show that the quality of a couple’s intimate life in a typical family has a major impact on its overall happiness. Behind a divorce rate as high as 70% there is often a direct connection to whether a couple’s intimate life is harmonious. This reality is sobering, and it has prompted us to think deeply about the reasons behind disharmony in married life. One major cause is mental i 606Reads8.9Score—14d adds

   I've read a few books, but I'm getting a bit tired of them. The repetitive plots are like chewing wax. As for the writing being smooth and flowing, it's like someone else's mouthwash—or perhaps it just tastes like saliva. Why not take some time to brew a cup of green tea, curl up on the sofa, bite into a sour pear, and slowly listen to "Nine Points Foolish"? From the initial uneventful beginnings to the later dramatic ups and downs, doesn't the life without major ups and downs reflect someone's own experiences? ...

   I recommend the completed novel "The Female Bank Manager's Dead End," a workplace romance with sophisticated political intrigue. It tells the story of Ma Yuquan, a female bank manager who, initially ambitious and determined to serve her country through finance, is gradually swayed and loses herself in the face of power and unscrupulous capital, ultimately leading to her downfall. The novel is fast-paced, well-written, and richly plotted, including scenes of best friends stealing each other's boyfriends, the female protagonist secretly giving birth at an advanced age while single, and scheming a legal adoption.

    ฅ ⋆ᶿ̵᷄ ˒̼ ᶿ̵᷅⋆ 555, I recommend this book. It's a masterpiece in a sense. In terms of its significance, this book has benefited many people, providing excellent popular science on the harms of lust. Abstaining from lust is very important because lust is extremely harmful to the body; it's like a steel knife scraping your bones. When you're in its gentle embrace, you might not notice it. It will cleanly drain your vital energy. Once spirited young men and women, now they are polluted, constantly exhausted, unable to wake up, with dull, sallow skin, poor complexion, and weak legs. It's like losing your soul, leaving only an empty shell. You become light and airy, no longer stable and confident, but restless, with unpredictable moods, unable to control yourself, living a muddled life. You lose your ambition, your future, and your health. Seemingly unimportant things constantly affect our lives. If you are an ordinary person who can only rely on your own hard work and self-improvement, I advise you to quit pornography, work hard, and create a wonderful life for yourself. The book "Miscellaneous Essays on Quitting Pornography" provides excellent popular science information on the importance of quitting pornography, filling a gap in this field.
