   This is a single-female protagonist story featuring numerous original poems and puns on character names, written with subtle foreshadowing. The author excels at using hidden meanings, exploring the rise and fall of families, the tragedies of individuals, the betrayal of kindness, the redemption and enlightenment, the pure love expressed in loyalty, and the intrigues of the court. At first glance, it seems to be about emotions; upon closer inspection, it reveals logic, yet its deeper meaning exposes hidden backgrounds. I encourage everyone to enjoy it, and please feel free to offer criticism and suggestions. It's free anyway, so why not give it a check it out? [Winking face][smirking face]

   The later chapters are longer and all original. Add one more bookshelf. Excerpt from Chapter 131: I was an orphan, orphaned from childhood. I was taken in by two elderly people who pitied my plight and raised me. They also had a young daughter, Lotus, my childhood sweetheart. We had meager land and a humble home, with no savings, yet my parents toiled tirelessly without complaint. Time flew by, and eighteen years passed in a flash. Though our days were simple and hard, Lotus warmed my heart. My daughter grew into a beautiful and talented young woman, stunning all others. Lotus and I fell in love and pledged our lives to each other. One day, I encountered a cultivator who said of my unparalleled talent and wanted to take me as a disciple to pass on his teachings. He said that if I attained enlightenment, the world would be astonished. I had no desire for immortality, only to grow old with Lotus. However, our family was poor and my parents were ill, so I had to become their disciple to repay their kindness. They took elixirs and miraculous medicines, and my parents recovered completely. I followed my master to seek immortality. At our parting, we were heartbroken, vowing never to forget each other, and to return together in immortality. Reluctant to part, the fragrant grass seems to understand my heart. Six years have passed since we parted, night after night I think of you, day after day. My master, seeing my mortal heart stirred, ordered me to descend the mountain to face the trials of love. Returning home, I collapsed to the ground, my house destroyed, my fields barren, my parents dead, their bones withered. Lotus committed suicide in the mass grave. Only then did I learn the reason, and anger rose within me, a wicked heart ignited. A wealthy man, heartless and lustful, took Lotus into his household. Lotus refused, her beauty ruined, my parents heartbroken, losing their lives. Lotus cried out to heaven, but received no answer, and followed him to the underworld. I searched for Lotus's remains that night, only to be torn apart by wolves and dogs, my heart breaking. The path to immortality is severed, life is meaningless, I vow revenge for my beloved.
