    This is a very good read. It's both an ensemble piece and a very comfortable coming-of-age story. The author's writing is superb, and the foreshadowing that's planted is so well done that it's incredibly moving, making you cry buckets. This is the novel I've cried the most on Tomato Book. The beginning is genuinely sweet and funny, but the later parts are truly heart-wrenching and can really break you down. I cried all night during the last few dozen chapters because I really wanted them all to be happy. Although it's supposed to be a happy ending, I think it's more like a tragic ending because many of them didn't have a perfect conclusion. But it's still a very good read. This is one of only two novels I like besides Ye Linglong. The male lead is great, very strong in the beginning, but the later parts are too heartbreaking. The female lead's identity is kind of like a junior sister, anyway, both of them have many hidden identities. Reading this novel made me feel like I was going crazy, crying, laughing, and getting angry all night. However, there are definitely a few people in the story who deserve to die, but the writing is really good. I highly recommend everyone to read it. I hope this novel will be published as a physical book; I'll definitely be the first to buy it. I also hope more people will know about this book because it's really good. You won't regret investing in it!
