    "That's not an illness, nor is it some kind of psychological abnormality. It's an obsession that hasn't faded in three hundred years, the grievances and hopes of a group of women, a steadfast commitment that transcends time." Zhen Xiaosi lowered her head, looking at the gray lock on her chest. Her fingertips gently touched it; the lock was cold, yet it seemed to pulsate faintly, concealing three hundred years of resentment and waiting. She didn't say anything more, continuing to work on the questions: anxiety symptoms, schizophrenia characteristics, stress response, counseling ethics, positive reinforcement, rational emotive behavior therapy… She worked through each question, her thoughts remaining clear until the last multiple-choice question. Her fingertips paused again, and this time, her eyelashes trembled uncontrollably. The question clearly appeared before her eyes: "Self-concept does not include: A. The actual self B. Perception of oneself C. Self-evaluation D. Derived from the phenomenon field." The correct answer was clearly A. Self-concept is always how one sees oneself, a subjective cognition and evaluation, not an objectively existing actual self. Zhen Xiaosi stared intently at the words "the true form," her heart churning with turmoil. Yun Xiaozhu's words from her dream echoed in her ears again: "We've waited three hundred years, what's a little longer?" Three hundred years of obsession weighed heavily on her. She was Zhen Xiaosi, the person Xiao Chen had waited three years for, Xia Linyu's nominal fiancée, the owner of the heart lock, the person Yun Xiaozhu had chosen, the hope for thirty thousand women waiting to open the door.
