    Lin Guangyao picked up his pen and added a line below the hastily written suicide note: "Wang Tianfeng, head of the Military Intelligence Bureau's Shanghai station. Died for his country on the 25th day of the first month of 1939. Does anyone remember him?" He put down his pen, folded the letter, and placed it at the bottom of the drawer. There, locked away, was another piece of paper with four lines of poetry: "Where can a drifting duckweed find its anchor in this chaotic world? Only the plum blossoms reflected in the snow. Do not say that the road ahead is full of frost and snow, for our hearts are connected by a single thread of understanding." The ink had faded somewhat. He gently stroked those lines, as if stroking an old dream that could never be returned to. Outside the window, the lights of No. 76 Across the street were still bright. Behind one of the windows, a woman in a black uniform was looking down, flipping through the files she needed to process that night. She did not look up. He did not wait. He simply closed the drawer, stood up, and walked to the window. The night in Shanghai was always so unfathomably black. But he knew that even the darkest night would eventually give way to dawn. I just wonder if those who never wake up again after dawn will feel any regret. Lin Guangyao stood there for a long time. Long enough for the moon to move from the top of the sycamore tree to the eaves. Long enough for the clock to strike eleven. Long enough for him to finally say to himself: Zhou Wenhao, I've finished writing your poem for you. Wang Tianfeng, I've preserved your name for you. I'm still walking the path you walked. The day I can no longer walk, I will stop, just like you.

    This book is really good. The male protagonist initially just wanted to pretend to be a good person, but ended up pretending his whole life. He was originally a spoiled brat, but was unexpectedly possessed by a saint-like transmigrator for three years. After returning, he was forced to imitate the transmigrator. The male protagonist has an incredibly lucky constitution; his luck is off the charts. Through a series of coincidences, he unintentionally achieves many great things and is always considered to be a prophet.
