   This is absolutely my number one! The writing is exquisite throughout. Zijing and her brother are mutually devoted, their bond running throughout the entire story. It offers both the warmth of familial redemption and their mutual forbearance and growth. The writing style blends youthful sensibility with realism, providing a delicate portrayal of school life while also offering a rational exploration of the logic of overcoming adversity. It's also an ensemble piece. The friendship between the main characters is incredibly admirable; they are all willing to give their all for each other. The romantic subplots are also very rich. Of all the novels I've read, this is one I truly appreciate.

   The female protagonist, an IT engineer, rejected a wealthy family marriage. Is that a grand vision? Or perhaps not? A small-town girl, no matter how hard she tries to broaden her horizons, will always have limitations. It's more accurate to say the protagonist is very clear-headed, knows what to choose, focuses on self-reliance, and marries a country boy as fate dictates. The marriage is comfortable and harmonious, but isn't there always a lingering sense of unease? The writing style is particularly effective in capturing the protagonist's emotional shifts between the world of wealth and reality—it's incredibly delicate and realistic. This is just a novella, nearing its end. Let's look forward to the finale!

    Highly recommend this book! The early chapters lay the foundation for romance, the middle section propels the story with science fiction, and the final chapter culminates in a catastrophe, with political intrigue running throughout. Not only is the logic rigorous and the writing delicate, but it also possesses great depth! A thousand years of reincarnation for redemption, a planet's destruction caused by a single thought! You can start by reading Chapter 17; although it's a bit dry, it serves as the overview, and the story largely revolves around its content.
