    A masterpiece! An ensemble piece, with the female lead Qi Xu and no romantic partner. In her previous life, Qi Xu was always a lone wolf. In this life, she is finally no longer alone. Everyone has their own shining points; the characters are distinct, with unique language and behavior—all are wonderful individuals. The presence of so many powerful figures in the 88th region is actually a major foreshadowing. As the original book says, "Walking with the strong is not about passively absorbing their light, but about awakening your own upward instinct within the spiritual magnetic field built by their words and actions, allowing growth to gradually transform from an accidental touch into a conscious pursuit." Moreover, the book's world-building is incredibly vast, making it a very three-dimensional and profound work. The author meticulously crafted the plot from the beginning, making it the best book I've ever read, with a completely consistent power level, and an excellent discussion environment.
