    Heroes, kings, all are curses… My king, finally fell on the road to the throne. Do not touch my knight. Even if the blessing is shattered, please be king. The power you possess is proof of your kingship. Are you willing to spend your life waiting, then cherishing this fleeting light? Even knowing it will vanish. When longing dissipates, what will remain? Do not grieve for those who have departed, but be happy for what you once had. We will meet again where the stars are, where the clouds are deep. The story of the iris is the happiness of the believer. Dreams are the continuation of reality, reality is the end of dreams. If I ever leave you, that day will surely be April Fool's Day. Then comes a thousand years, and what remains unchanged is the lingering affection. When the dragon soars in the sky, man has no chance. The heart senses, yet pretends not to understand. Sleep peacefully, even if you forget everything, I will always remember. I will live for you, and die for you. The primordial voice, unheard by anyone, a visitor from the future. The hands of the clock will never turn back, but things can be accomplished through one's own efforts. Standing atop the glitz and glamour, I play the music of nature. Cry for me, even just once, then spend your whole life laughing for me. Knowing the meaning of the flower, yet not seeing it. Seeing the flower, yet not hearing its name. In truth, beautiful stories are all without endings, and it is precisely because they have no ending that they are beautiful. When ashes are paired, fire is rekindled. Stop crying, me. There is nothing to be sad about. That night, I had a strange dream. For some reason, it made me almost cry with nostalgia. For this child, I want the future of humanity. I don't want to witness humanity's demise. Tears lie ahead, but they are meaningless. Don't cry. Your smile is the value of my existence…

    I can only give the erhu playing section a minimum score of 10. The second book received a lower rating; this genre has reached its peak. Everyone who has read the third book praises it, and the author fills in the plot holes with great detail. The fourth book is the pinnacle of the Tomato Genius genre.
