   All of these are written by Sweet Melon: 1. "Everyone says he has no heart, so I'll give him one. He climbed out of purgatory, and I won't let him fall back down." "I will catch him, I will always catch him." "If the gods and Buddhas won't tolerate him, I will." "Xie Chenzhou, stop being an immortal, become a demon." "Okay, I'll be a demon." She came in summer and ended in winter, but unfortunately, she didn't come in spring. That year's gathering of heroes produced seven champions, and later they either died, went mad, or scattered. "If only I hadn't wanted to be the best in the world, Xiao Sang, take me with you." "Xie Chenzhou, I can't go home, I miss my mother." Gods fall and all things are born. "Nian Nian, everyone will come back to be with you, even if I'm not there, it doesn't matter." 2. At the foot of Mount Ling, demons blocked the way, and the goddess bestowed a heart. "So she likes to demolish houses, then I'll build a bigger house for her to demolish." "Have you ever seen the sea?" "What does the sea look like? Is it a big lake?" "The sea is much bigger than a lake. A lake has a visible edge, but the sea has no edge." "You can predict the weather, that's amazing! Next time it's going to rain, you must tell me first. I'll set up a stall in the city to sell umbrellas, I'm sure I can make a lot of money." Later, Ah Lian Cangshan-jun met that girl again. "I really want to see the sea." "Tomorrow, it's going to rain." 999: "Don't cry, I'll let you touch me." "999? Does that mean you need me?" "I like this name." The male and female leads: "The only one in the world who can kill me, the only one qualified to kill me, is you." "I listened to the Buddha's teachings for 3000 years, so that I could meet her in the spring of 3001." "Yun Zhao, the people you pity have never been mine." "Another 30,000 years have passed, and this time you finally remember me." 3. Gods above, half my heart is devoted to sacrifice. Everyone loves the bright moon, but I alone love A-Ruan. This is a curse etched in my bones; I was born for her, but unfortunately, I will never grow up. "I took away your memories, so you no longer remember her. How can we meet again?" "No matter how much I've forgotten, the moment I see her, I will still fall in love with her."

    The ratings are quite high, and these are some of my favorites. Every time I read them, it's painful, yet I still reread them again and again. The first book is complete, featuring two male leads, with the main character being the receiver. It's full of love triangles. Yan Mo, an ordinary person, tries to win over various chosen ones like domineering CEOs, top celebrities, wild kings, metaphysical masters, and narcotics officers. He lacks acting skills and can only try to move them with his sincerity. They are from different planes, have different personalities, family backgrounds, and appearances, but they all share one thing in common—they all disdain Yan Mo's sincerity. Yan Mo's mission is to stay in this plane forever if he succeeds, but he fails to win over any of the eight people he tries. After he gives up, the world merges, and his former targets beg for forgiveness. However, the world's consciousness forces him to obey the will of the chosen ones. The second book is also complete, featuring a male-female pairing. Shi Wuqing transmigrates into the bodies of universally disliked characters in various books, accumulating popularity points to become the most popular character, thus achieving resurrection. A disastrous start? The purpose is sublimation, with hidden meanings. Nothing is more appealing than a beautiful, strong, and tragic character; the only exception is a beautiful, strong, and tragic character. No one would not want to chase the stars, to have them all to themselves. "Sister, what a pity, we can't wait for winter." "And... Quietly lying in a pool of blood, her expression a long-lost tranquility, Mom. (Qingqing)" "To meet again in the sunlight." "He and she, two people, not even a heartbeat." "Darkness descends, my era has arrived, may you die a good death."... The third and fourth books are one story, completed, transmigrated into the world of *The Grave Robbers' Chronicles*, no female lead, no romance/popularity? Just casually shipping. Little Moon (Qingyan) transmigrates into *The Grave Robbers' Chronicles*, possessing a system as a cheat, raised by the blind and mute, diligently completing tasks, rescuing various unresolved issues from the original story, and driving the plot forward. However, he gradually discovers a strange bond between himself and this world and the protagonists, eventually finding himself unable to die despite his suicidal thoughts, forced to live on. Finally, he retired successfully, but no one remembered him anymore (I'm not good at writing, so I can only write this much without spoiling the plot). Everyone had a perfect ending, except for the bright moon that secured that ending for them... In the end, they (the main characters) had to forget him; his existence was completely erased... Although the memories were gone, the emotions remained, and everyone would subconsciously miss that bright moon. The characters are very vivid, and there is generally no out-of-character behavior. I really like it. "This world should not have gods." The fifth book, completed, features two male protagonists. The interstellar criminal Yu Tang transmigrates to this world to assassinate a fragment of the main god, but due to the protection mechanism, he chooses to "kill with passion." "The true hunter often appears as the prey." After being retaliated against by the main god in various ways, he inadvertently "reveals" the truth and dies, exiting the game. This makes the main god regret it deeply and commit suicide for love. The sixth book, completed, ah... How to say it, I haven't finished reading it yet, but so far, no one has firmly chosen Wu Xing. After Wu Xing's suicide, he thought he could finally be free, but he was chosen by the system and forced to transmigrate into the book that temporarily redeemed him—The Grave Robbers' Chronicles—becoming Wu Xie's twin brother. Forced to live, he saves the five main characters. He takes Wu Xie's place in the game, suffers from depression and self-harm, enduring the pain brought by his "bloodline" every day, yet tries his best to appear normal, always wearing a smile, becoming the famous "Jade-Faced Buddha" in the underworld. He wants to die but has an immortal body. His luck value is extracted by the Heavenly Dao and distributed among the five main characters. He self-destructs, always saying "I'm fine." The seventh book, currently being serialized, features two male protagonists. The Evil Emperor is reborn back to where everything began—the Seven Star Lu Palace. He suffers from survivor syndrome, and the various events of his past life weigh heavily on him. He learns that he possesses the Azure Dragon bloodline, with amazing recovery abilities. His blood has a fatal attraction to all semi-biological organisms (such as zombies), but it also possesses a deadly poison. Later, he bleeds Xiao Ge. Conflict, struggle, obsession, restraint, and then self-harm... The last book, now complete, features two male leads, a bittersweet story. Yu Tang travels through ten worlds, completing missions while developing pity for the villain (who is the same person), intending to redeem him. Gradually, he discovers things are far more complex than they seem and slowly learns how to love... The first ten worlds involve sacrifices for the villain, resulting in tragic endings. Later, he returns to those worlds to heal his regrets, leading to happy endings. (Sorry, I'm having trouble writing anymore; the more I recall, the more painful it becomes, and I'm almost at my wit's end. The last two books were written somewhat hastily, please forgive me.) (These are all my own interpretations; the original text is far more heart-wrenching than mine! Both are worth reading.)

    Reader note

    Dear friends, today's article is specially prepared for those of you who have accompanied us along the way—a complete map from the "absurd universe of the workplace," a key to unlocking eight treasure stories, and a thank-you letter to each and every one of you. Do you remember? In the very beginning, in the break room on the twelfth floor of Mingde Group, we watched a young man named Gu Xiaomo being dragged into a vortex of emotions by the crying of Sister Zhou next door, almost drowning him. At that time, we didn't know what "emotional boundaries" meant; we only knew that there was a kind of exhaustion called "more tiring after get off work than at work"—because your mind was filled with the anxiety, anger, and grievances that others had forced in, and you couldn't even find a trash can to dump them into. Then Shao An appeared, with a thin black line drawn on his wrist, telling us with a cup of hand-drip coffee with water temperature precise to the point: other people's emotions are other people's, your peace is yours, and there needs to be a door between the two. This door is not indifference, but the regaining of control over your own emotions after you can finally distinguish "whether this is her sadness or my sadness." This is the first story—"The Guardian of Emotional Boundaries." It begins with an absurdly hilarious opening (have you ever seen a colleague cry all the way to work because someone stepped on their foot on the subway? Sister Zhou is like that), and then delivers a serious, almost silent truth: your emotional immunity is just as important as your physical immunity. The most brilliant part of this story is that it doesn't teach you to shut everyone out, but rather to do one thing—install a door in your psychological territory, lock it in your hand, and decide who can come in, how far they can go, and how long they can stay. After reading this story, you'll realize that those "other people's emotions" that suffocate you aren't luggage you have to carry, but rather packages you can politely return. But we soon discover that simply guarding emotional boundaries isn't enough. Because Lao Cao will message you at 11:47 PM on Friday night, casually saying "It's due by 9 AM tomorrow," packing up your entire weekend and taking it all away. And on your phone, your aunt in the family group chat sends twelve 59-second voice messages, each one questioning you in a "for your own good" tone about why you're not married yet. "Boundary violations" are everywhere around you—not the kind of violating violence, but the kind disguised in a sugar-coated guise, like "Just a little help," "Just doing me a favor," or "When are you going to find a partner?"—Violations that are impossible to guard against. Then Zhen Jie arrives, bringing his "Work-Life Boundary Negotiation Agreement" and a statement that makes the entire company's management turn green: "Your free overtime isn't free. Every hour of free overtime corresponds to how much anxiety, how much insomnia, and how many unfulfilled life promises." This is the second story—"The Workplace Boundary Negotiator." It teaches us one thing: boundaries aren't built by tolerating, they're built through negotiation. You have to put a price tag on your time, write "No Entry" on your rest time, and then, every time it's violated, don't just swallow your anger or argue, but act like a professional negotiator, presenting your agreement, your IOU, your calculations, and using logic the other party can't refute—this is my territory, you can come in, but follow the rules. And just when we think we've secured our emotional and work-life boundaries, a more insidious enemy surfaces. Unlike Lao Cao, who directly asks you to work overtime, or Sister Zhou, who cries in your face, it doesn't even make a sound—it simply lies quietly in your pocket, using seventy-six unread red dots, thirty-seven push notifications, and the vibration of "You have a new message" to slice your attention into fragments smaller than chopped scallions. You pick up your phone one hundred and forty-seven times a day, but only eleven of those times are necessary. The remaining one hundred and thirty-six times are all conditioned reflexes conditioned by that red number "1" in your brain. This is the third story—"Digital Boundary Firewall." Yao Shu arrived with a black bracelet on his wrist, its blue halo slowly rotating. He set up a transparent storage box in the Mingde Group's conference room, ordering everyone to lock their phones inside for forty-eight hours. In those forty-eight hours, Zhao Xiaotang discovered the rose bushes that had been growing on the balcony of the building across the street for three years; Sister Zhou uninstalled the short video app that made her feel increasingly useless; and Lao Cao—the project manager who used to send out mass work messages late at night—said to his black-and-white screen phone, "It stole so much from me." This story tells us: your attention is not a free resource; it is the most crucial boundary among all your boundaries. Platforms and algorithms won't protect it for you; you can only build your own firewall. But no matter how many boundaries you have, there is one battlefield you can never avoid—home. At the company, you can argue with your boss about boundaries, but when you get home, your mother's words, "I raised you too well, so well that you're getting further and further away from me," can instantly cause the boundary defenses you spent two years building to collapse. Because workplace aggression is like open warfare, while family aggression is like needles wrapped in love—if you dismantle it, you feel sorry for that love; if you don't, you'll be riddled with holes. This is the fourth story—"Family Boundary Conflict." Your second aunt uses the analogy of "the sweater I knitted for you when you were little" to blackmail your marriage choices, while your eldest aunt seals off all your rational expression with "home isn't a place for reasoning." And when the protagonist utters the words "I accept the kindness, but I'll withdraw the control" at the dinner table, her mother scribbles it down in her notebook. This story makes you want to laugh and cry at the same time because it's so real—every young person working hard away from home has experienced that dilemma of "wanting to love but fearing being swallowed up by love." It tells us that family boundaries aren't about estrangement, but about making intimacy last longer. You can deeply love someone while rejecting their control over you in the name of love. Next, Shi Shougui walks into Mingde Group with his hourglass. The countdown timer on his wrist transforms the most abstract concept of "time" into a tangible commodity that can be seen, weighed, and bargained over. He asks everyone to calculate the time they've been unpaid since joining the company—914 hours, 38 days. Then he invented a set of "time borrowing vouchers," requiring anyone to fill out an IOU, specify the duration, and write the return date before using your non-working time. Old Cao was forced to sign the first legal document in the history of time boundary management at Mingde Group. That IOU was later taped to the wall behind his desk by Gu Xiaomo. This is the fifth story—"Time Boundary Management." It uses an hourglass to tell us that the time truly belonging to you in your life is only about seven percent. That seven percent isn't a surplus resource; it's your last refuge—watching the sunset, reading leisurely books, playing with building blocks with your children, or simply daydreaming in the afternoon sun. Anyone who uses your time without authorization is cutting flesh from that pitiful seven percent. Then we met Shen Mo. She's a more professional "mapper" than Zhao Xiaotang, but she came to Mingde Group not to help everyone draw minefield maps, but to tell us one thing: defense alone isn't enough; you also need to rebuild. Knowing "this place can't be touched" isn't enough; you also need to know "this place can be touched, but in what way." This is the sixth story – "The Topic Taboo Map." Zhao Xiaotang used her thick behavioral codebook, thick enough to be a weapon, to draw up the minefields for everyone in the company – Xiao Wang will explode if stared at for more than three seconds, Sister Zhou's "son" can't just be called a dog, and General Manager Jiang's hearing in his left ear is only 40%, so you need to sit on his right when speaking. And when everyone publicly marked their minefields, a miracle happened: the minefields began to fail one by one. Because the destructive power of a minefield relies on "uncertainty," once it's made transparent, it becomes an ordinary road with a sign – you see it, you go around it, and both sides are unharmed. Finally, the seventh story, our latest one – "Dean Fu, I'd Like to Reserve a Spot in the Nursing Home." It incorporates all our previous boundary management theories into a nursing home called "My Home," located at No. 83 Yonghang Road, Fengcheng Street, Yongding District, Longyan. There, there is a vice-director named Fu Meihua, thirty-five years old this year, who has worked in elderly care for thirteen years after graduating from nursing school. She can remember the dietary restrictions of each of the sixty-three elderly people, and before helping them turn over, she can say, "Grandma, I'm going to help you turn over now, don't be afraid." She can stand at a door for different amounts of time—because she knows that Grandma Li needs to wait a few seconds before getting out of bed, Grandpa Zhang needs to adjust the curtains first because his eyes are sensitive to light, and Grandma Wang doesn't like being watched when she gets up. But her most valuable possession isn't the bookshelf full of certificates and awards, but a sentence she wrote on the title page of an old notebook more than ten years ago: "The most valuable thing isn't these certificates, but being able to remember what each elderly person doesn't like to eat." These stories are all available for search now. Whether you prefer to flip through pages on Tomato Bookstore, listen and laugh on Tomato Music, casually open and read on Toutiao Lite or the Toutiao App, or savor them slowly on Changdu Free Novels or Danhua Free Novels—you can find this absurd and humorous series of stories on any of these platforms. Open any platform, search for the story title, or look in the search box; each story has the identifier "User 26182811" before it—see it? That's our own author, Mr. Fu Shuiheng. A native of Yongding, Longyan, Fujian, his pen, nurtured by the Hakka culture and nestled at the foot of the Tulou (Hakka earthen buildings), uses a calm and unhurried style to depict the frustrations you experience daily in the workplace, things you can never quite articulate, in a way that will make you laugh until you cry. And the ultimate mystery behind all these stories is hidden in the book, *Dean Fu's Good Intentions*. This Dean Fu is the person behind boundary management masters like Shao An, Zhen Jie, Yao Shu, Shi Shougui, and Shen Mo—an ultimate master who, sitting in a rocking chair in a retirement home, can see through the vicissitudes of the workplace. The starting point for each character is hidden in a corner of a corridor in "my" retirement home. Once you understand this book, all the boundary theories you've read before will automatically form a perfect closed loop in your mind. Friends, after reading these stories, remember to give our own author, Mr. Fu Shuiheng, a boost to his creative endeavors. Leave a comment, contribute to the book review section, or urge for more updates under the work on Tomato Bookstore—let our old monkey brother from western Fujian know how many people are waiting for his next absurd and humorous story. The old gentleman's writing is still going strong; he has an entire universe of characters and plots lined up in his mind, waiting to be written down. Every comment and every like you give is the motivation for him to sit down at his desk and open his document. The more readers there are for this series, the more enthusiastic the old gentleman becomes—think about it, there's also a prequel to Shao An, Yao Shu's Silicon Valley past, and the intersection of Zhen Jie and Shen Mo in the border negotiation circle; these are all still in the old gentleman's mind, waiting to see the light of day. Finally, a few words from the heart. In this fast-paced era, everyone's time is fragmented. Short videos are vying for your attention, work groups are encroaching on your rest time, and algorithms are desperately trying to figure out your emotions and then feeding you content that you can't stop reading. In such an era, being able to take the time to read a story that requires quiet contemplation and slow savoring is truly a luxury. And you've given this precious time to the work of our own author, Mr. Fu Shuiheng—for which we are truly grateful. Every read, every request for updates, every comment like "Haha, this is hilarious!" Or "This part made me cry!" Is the greatest affirmation for Mr. Fu, and the most important fuel keeping this absurd and humorous universe running. No matter how good a work is, if no one reads it, it's just a pile of words; only when you read it does it become a living world. So, in this noisy and suffocating era, your willingness to pause for a story, a character, a fictional nursing home—this is truly a blessing for the work and for Mr. Fu. Once again, we sincerely thank you all for your time. See you in the story, see you in the nursing home, see you by Director Fu's rocking chair.
