   I've reread it twice. It's the only book where I reread every chapter because of foreshadowing. The author always surprises you with his unexpected plot twists. The later character flashbacks, character chapters, and side stories are simply divine. The characters are incredibly well-developed, each with a significant amount of screen time, and they all reappear later on! The main text is humorous with unexpected twists, while the side stories have a touch of melancholy that's hard not to laugh at. Recently (October 2023), he started updating the side stories for the second volume. He really updated again!!! Longtime fans definitely shouldn't miss it (This is my first time writing a review, so please don't be too harsh. If you criticize me, I'll crawl in the dark 🙏🏻).

    Men criticize it, women praise it, but everyone understands it's an ironic piece. The so-called "satisfaction" in this book is, in fact, a reflection of real-life suffering.

    Books 1 and 2 are both by the author, Shao Chi. Her writing is truly superb! 💙1 Is a thriller-oriented infinite flow/no romance/minor ensemble piece, telling the story of a male protagonist who is inexplicably pulled into a game and begins his search for himself. 💙2 Is a fantasy cultivation/no romance/minor ensemble piece, telling the story of an immortal male protagonist who takes in one disciple after another. You can check out the synopsis; I was lured in by the funny synopsis and ended up reading it! 💙3 Is a cross-strait/no romance/minor ensemble piece, a federal campus coming-of-age story. Later, they leave the campus for the sake of the federation's strategy. The male protagonist is a transmigrator but doesn't have a system. His wood-type ability is mutated; whatever he plants grows tall, but when you cut it open, the fruit is all wood grain, hahaha—in short, it's all show and no substance. I especially love reading the conversations between the male protagonist and his paper-folded dog; his seemingly unintentional complaints are all expressions of longing for his modern life!

    A very good book. The plot far surpasses the title. It's a satisfying read, and it even made me laugh from time to time. But ultimately, I felt a sense of unease. The brothers, whose memories were altered by the supernatural, revolved around a false sun, leaving Yan Yan alone. From then on, they only gave Yan Yan indifference and neglect. In fact, they were not wrong; it was the supernatural that altered their memories. But they could never go back to the way things were... Original text: Sheng Tianlang was still lamenting, thinking that a rich young lady wouldn't fall in love with a fictional character. Chu Yan smiled. "Suppose one day, you wake up in the morning and suddenly find that everyone has forgotten you—" "Then you have to rely on healthy relationships to survive." Also, the author's vision is incredibly broad, and you can feel the author's rich knowledge. Original text: When I was young, I had just left the Ying family and was saved by her. My heart and life were tied to her alone. [Sending you across the Qi River, to Dunqiu. It is not that I have broken the promise, but that you have no good matchmaker. Do not be angry, let autumn be the appointed time.] In the poem, the young girl sends the boy to the Qi River, promising to meet him in autumn. [Climbing that ruined wall, she gazes towards Fuguan. Not seeing Fuguan, tears stream down her face.] The girl climbs the earthen wall, constantly looking towards Fuguan. [In our childhood, we feasted and laughed merrily. We made solemn vows, never thinking of betrayal. Betrayal is unthinkable, so let it be!] Those vows, made with such conviction, have turned into bitter enmity. Having broken their promise, they decide to sever all ties—the description is incredibly detailed, a chillingly exquisite original: When it awakens, it's as if millions of people are roaring in her mind. In her twisted pain, she seems to see the fearful ancestors of tens of thousands of years ago, prostrate on the parched earth, seeing a second sun suddenly appear in the daytime, seeing vines grow wildly, beasts spewing flames, and spirits rising from their graves. So, I highly recommend it; the later parts are truly brilliant and unbeatable. It would be an injustice if it didn't become a hit.

    They are all really good!!! Especially volume one, the only flaw is that the author stopped updating it!!! Don't worry, they all use comedy as a shell to depict tragedy (except for volume two, but that one is really good!!!). Everyone can try volume one first, because it is divided into two volumes. The first volume is already completed, with a large game and background. It is not just a love story of mutual redemption, but more about the heroine's unwillingness to be swept along by time as a princess in the deep palace, as well as her courage and wisdom to resist fate. She has clear likes and dislikes. Even when her childhood sweetheart is on the opposite side, she is not blinded by personal feelings. She has reason. Her immorality and incompetence in the previous parts are just the indifference after seeing through the hypocrisy of this world. She is loyal and righteous, and she is willing to bear heavy infamy to avenge her mother. 2.3.4. Good. You can tell it is really good. 2.3 is a blessing for intellectual lovers. There is not a single stupid character in the whole book. The characters are really flesh and blood, with feelings and righteousness. They truly become flesh and blood people without leaving the words! The third female lead is exceptionally intelligent. Her modern soul gives her a unique perspective, setting her apart from the times. She won't compromise herself for fame, nor will she allow her loyal family to be harmed by treacherous villains. The second female lead is incredibly resilient. Her words, "No matter what, I must live," "I think living is much harder than dying," and "Heaven may not save me, but I can save the world," illustrate her journey from a lowly beggar to a key figure in the Candle-Bearing Bureau, revealing a profound sense of patriotism. Whether it's Pang Yu, who willingly dies for his good brother (there's a reason! There's a reason! Don't blame his good brother!), Or Xie Suian, who was shot and killed in the snow while protecting the new emperor on his return to the capital, or even the hateful yet pitiful Boss Zhang, all possess a strong and unwavering patriotic heart. The fourth female lead's line, "I am gentle, warm..." "Warmth and gentleness" runs throughout the entire story, suggesting that everything is predestined and has been cycled for thousands of years. Unfortunately, Mo Li has forever lost his little sword spirit, and Wen Ruan is also destined to lose her innocence, only able to search for her lover and herself in the long river of time. At the age of 5, although she is safe and sound every year, Shi Sui has already lost all her family and friends. When she first met her, she was dressed in red and spoke without thinking, but it was discovered that she had long lost her youthful spirit. When she discovered her former identity, she was at a loss but determined. Unfortunately, the life of an ant could never evoke a trace of pity from the immortals of the Nine Heavens. So, she went up to the Nine Heavens, using her meager life to shake this living tomb built of flesh and blood. But how will these immortals react when they see the former ant now ascending to the Nine Heavens?

    The first book is generally lighthearted and funny, but it'll suddenly deliver a cruel twist. The second book starts off lighthearted, but later it's a mix of sweet moments and sharp retorts, sometimes even multiple ones. The third book made me think it was going to end badly, but it was truly heartbreaking. The fourth book, with its tug-of-war between the two characters, was so poignant; it left me feeling quite melancholic. All of these are top-notch written works; feel free to read them.
