   This book is pretty good; it's the only book I haven't given up on recently. It's roughly about metaphysics, a bet with the heavens, which the protagonist ultimately succeeds in, ending up with someone he loves. The two are evenly matched, not one strong and one weak, and they understand and support each other, making it very interesting. The rating is also quite high. More importantly, it's a completed novel, definitely worth reading.

   Hearing the word "home," Prince Ning felt a surge of warmth in his heart. These past few days, this child had truly made this place her home. Although she didn't say it aloud or make any deliberate attempts to please him, one could sense that their relationship wasn't as distant as before. This child was, in her own way, gradually drawing closer to him. Prince Ning feigned disgust: "Still eating? You don't even go out for a walk. If you keep this up, you'll turn into a little fat pig." Ning Xihua glared. You could call her useless, but you absolutely couldn't call her fat! She immediately retorted: "Old man, look at yourself! Three years ago, you were upright and handsome, a true scholar-general. Now, tsk tsk, your belly has grown so much, you're just greasy!" Prince Ning was furious, glaring silently at this disrespectful girl. Ning Xihua, not to be outdone, glared back with her big eyes. The two stared at each other, neither giving an inch. After a while, they both smiled at each other. Prince Ning laughed heartily. It was so nice to be able to banter and joke with someone like that.

    "What is the highest level of realism in a novel? It's not that the characters have real-life counterparts, nor that the plot has a source, but rather—after you finish reading it, you can no longer say 'this is fiction.' Because you have experienced, or almost experienced, those entanglements, those private thoughts, and those unspoken tendernesses."
