This grand symphony of the Republic of China era has finally come to a close. I read every single word of the over six thousand pages. Even Tomato's top female-oriented novel, *Reborn as a Spicy 80s Wife*, didn't receive this treatment. This stems from the book's sharp insight into worldly affairs and human nature, the extreme tension in romance, the awakening of revenge and self-salvation, and the tightly woven, breathtaking suspense. It's sweet, satisfying, and realistic. Even more remarkably, it can move the purest tears in one's heart. Even more impressively, all victims of bullying, all those experiencing real-life misfortunes, can find a haven within this book, growing alongside the heroine and all the characters in the world.
