    The book's synopsis was quite appealing, so I picked it up and read it. At the beginning, the female lead's experiences were truly heartbreaking—so tragic! But later, the male lead fell madly in love with her; their feelings were simply amazing!

While reading this novel, I couldn't help but shed tears in many chapters; the author wrote with such heart, and many parts resonated deeply with me. Also, the ending with Ji Lian and Zhou Yue—at first, Zhou Yue's description made me feel something was off, and I kept thinking, "No way, no way?"
