   "I was just about to say this. Primordial God, your power is immense, but your taste in men is questionable..." The ginseng spirit looked disgusted, as if it had seen something filthy. "You're still recovering from childbirth, and he's already hoarse from howling in the delivery room." "He collapsed on the ground, unable to get up. I saw him try to stand up several times, only to collapse weakly again." "He ate the ginseng slices I prepared for you." "He drank the chicken soup I gave you." "And now he wants to observe postpartum confinement? I truly despise men like that. Anyone who didn't know better would think he gave birth to this child himself." The little ginseng curled its lip, utterly disdainful. The Primordial God, who created and saved the world, how could she encounter such a man? Completely incapable of handling anything. Giving birth made his legs go weak with fear.

    "Why do I like novels?" "Because my youth was too quiet, and I wanted to see the blatant favoritism in other people's youth." Unfortunately, you're not Xu Dian, and I'm not Meng Ying. You wouldn't wait all night in a torrential downpour for me to turn around, you wouldn't lower yourself to the dust for me to turn around, and I don't have the courage to undergo a perfect transformation without you. Perhaps this era is too bad; emotions are rampant, and words have no weight. Casually uttered "likes" and "loves" don't match a sincere heart. The love in those books is either pure to the extreme or intensely passionate. Because I can't envy that kind of love; I envy the blatant favoritism in the books and the love where people would risk their lives for each other. "I never imagined that one day I would be hunched over a table, flipping through that novel over and over again. To fall in love with a group of people whose names were even fake, to cherish them in my heart, to keep them there. If I could, in my next life, I would rather be a character in the book, participating in their unwavering past. I yearn for someone to love me fiercely until death, to understand that love is as powerful as death. One shouldn't meet someone too stunning in youth, otherwise, no matter what happens later, I'll never be able to truly love someone again. I love your carefree and open-hearted nature, your smile that brightens my vision; I love your majestic mountains, standing there, telling me that this world is still good. Perhaps I've never met Shen Juan, but the rice balls in the convenience store, the countless train tickets, the boys in the tattoo parlor, Ohm's law in the physics book… all these things are reflected in my youth, so of course I'd naturally assume he exists. Like the summer wind, it sounds beautiful, but when it blows, it's full of heat, so when summer ends, I don't like you anymore."

Don’t read to the end, decide the main characters have suffered too much, feel bad, and then leave a negative review. Writing is hard, so please 33.5kReads9.4Score4.1k14d adds
