    🔥Get it now, you absolutely won't regret it! Seriously, I laughed until I cried. I give it a 9.8 Out of 10. It's closely tied to social reality, without exaggeration or pretense, and the language is fluent! 🔥Programmer Chen Xun, who frequently worked overtime and smoked, was diagnosed with late-stage lung cancer and only had six months left to live. To avoid burdening others, Chen Xun chose to divorce his wife and handle the aftermath alone, but misfortune continued to strike. He was mistaken for a thief, his car parked downstairs was vandalized, he was misunderstood by his new boss, mistaken for a paparazzi on the subway, and even encountered an elderly woman trying to scam him while using the restroom in the park. The usually timid Chen Xun, in his last six months, finally unleashed extraordinary courage, confronting everyone he met without mercy or compromise. With courage and strategy, he severely punished a school bully, stunned his boss, drove the person who framed him crazy, won a billion-dollar lottery, and even gained the admiration of a beautiful lawyer. At this moment, he received a hospital report earlier: she was pregnant…

    The second book is the best written, using Zhuangzi's dream of a butterfly as a central theme throughout. Both the male and female leads suffer from terminal illnesses, and the final three months tell a story of love and redemption across time. The third book is purely angst-filled. The female lead has a terminal illness, and the male lead experiences delusions after losing her. He finally wakes up at her grave, like a dandelion's promise, ultimately scattered by the wind, a poignant nocturne, a tribute to a lost love.
