   I feel that the sunflower died before dawn, much like the firewood and embers of the underground city in "Heart of Flesh and Blood." I still remember what Li Pinghe said: "As long as one world sees the dawn, humanity has not lost." "The firewood will not die, the embers will live on." Xiao Zhou asked, "What do you think is a good ending?" "From a novelist's perspective, I hope this ending is exciting enough," he answered solemnly, "with flashbacks, tears, laughter, passion, reunions, farewells, and everything we didn't have time to express in the story—how about that, isn't it difficult?" 'It's like witnessing a bewildered god become human, his pale soul stained with brilliant and vibrant colors by his friends.' "It is choice that makes people human. Whether you are 'you' always depends on you; only you can decide who you are." "Later, I slowly figured it out. Since we can't distinguish the importance of life, let what is right simply be right." Letting what is right simply be right doesn't represent justice, doesn't represent sympathy, and certainly doesn't represent any bias. Since we can't judge good and evil, let's establish a standard, a standard for implementation, and continuously refine it in practice. People tend to call this standard—the law. Sister Li is straightforward; she refuses to be bound by worldly constraints, so she chose a difficult path that no one understands, even parting ways with Guan Ye and Wen Rui for it. She prioritizes self-interest, scheming against her former friends. I also regretted their friendship, fantasizing that they could reconcile. But regret is regret because it's irreparable, irreparable. Sister Li had ideological differences with them. I think even if she had another chance, she would still choose this path. This is her answer; she also regrets, but it's just regret. [Flying kiss]

    Every single one of them is an idealist. Before reading it, I knew this novel would be very enjoyable, but after finishing it, I didn't expect it to be this enjoyable—my goodness, this is the right way to read a female-oriented novel. Every detail is meticulously crafted, every link is seamless (at least I didn't find any bugs), and every foreshadowing is perfectly placed. I immediately showered the author with gold coins, just to squeeze onto the gift ranking list, although compared to the top contributors, it's just a drop in the ocean. The female protagonist's steps are very steady, and her revenge at the beginning is truly swift and decisive, which was very satisfying to read. She is extremely cautious, not letting go of even the slightest clue, giving her enemies no chance to turn the tables—this is revenge with intelligence. The female-to-male ratio in this book is very comfortable to read; there are far more female characters than male characters. Moreover, the book presents many complex female figures—not only is the female protagonist outstanding, but her opponents, nemesis, mentor, and those she interacts with are almost all women. A group of women live their own lives, occasionally intersecting, illuminating each other, powerful and charming. The first phase follows a relatively conventional path of rebirth, revenge, anti-invasion, and leveling up. However, everyone encountered along the way represents the protagonist's initial wealth. For example, the villain Su Yitong is undeniably evil, yet I find her complex—her yearning for love stems from her loss of power, making her contradictory and intricate. Then there's King Zhao Shuying of Burma; negotiating with her is like dealing with a cunning businessman, seemingly able to take a bite out of you even from a mosquito. But she also possesses a thirst for power, the rationality of a politician, and weighs the pros and cons in every situation. Then there's the protagonist's first teacher, Hedgehog, the eternal sun of Zelan Star, a milestone in the alchemy world—both eccentric and powerful, simply captivating. And then there's the happy Qiu Guo, who truly only strives for herself, simple and content, always knowing how to improve her life; from another perspective, this is a kind of profound understanding. The protagonist's pet dragon, Tu Nan, is absolutely adorable. Her skills are powerful and invincible, and she loves kittens. Initially an adorable and endearing character, she later becomes eccentric and rebellious after being influenced by Xun Ge, developing a taste for online trends and embracing a culture of drinking. She is exceptionally sensitive to all emotions; she may be the only one who can truly understand Xun Ge's feelings. Therefore, even though she seems to be constantly bickering and arguing with Xun Ge, she actually considers Xun Ge her most important family member and will unhesitatingly use her most crucial abilities to help her in critical moments. Even when facing the threat of death, she is willing to choose Xun Ge as her contractor again. Their teamwork is unwavering in matters of great importance. There is also the natural warrior Liang Yuchuan, with a strong fighting spirit, never giving up until the very last moment, and her large family who protect their loved ones. In addition, there are many other characters with limited screen time but extremely effective roles, such as Baozi who trades information, and Little Machi, whom Hufflepuff picked up and who loves gold coins—she yearns to be a noblewoman in her own right, only wants to live with dignity, and doesn't want to become a stain on Hufflepuff's reputation. Later, Xun Ge leveled up too quickly, and she began to cast her gaze towards even stronger opponents, only occasionally glancing back at the path she had come from, but never looking back—a kind of arrogance born of strength. In the second phase, Xun Ge's map was upgraded, officially joining the world battlefield, where she began to show her prowess after encountering formidable enemies. From being seen as an ant by other players at the beginning, she gradually grew into an undeniable force. The seemingly unapproachable powerhouses she encountered in the first phase, such as Mist Blade and Maple Syrup, wrote a profound storyline with Xun Ge in this phase. Their emotional entanglements were extremely complex; love and hate were indistinguishable, and they couldn't be simply defined as enemies, friends, or partners—they were simply too complex to discern. This phase introduced more comprehensive characters, all complex and arrogant powerhouses. They disdained to look at the weak, each with their own ideals and principles; their own kind was their only haven—for example, Mist Blade sought refuge for her kind in the Snow Village, Maple Syrup yearned to rebuild the Forest Sea, Queque wandered the world working far from home, and Grapefruit burned her kind to create the bitterest fruit, and so on. During this phase, Xun Ge encounters a diverse array of mentors: the proud and passionate Zhu Ri, the gentle and patient Huang Jin, the controlling and deceptive Hua, and the arrogant and self-absorbed Daddy. They are guiding lights on Xun Ge's path to growth, and the foundation upon which she stands. They witness the heroine's transformation from a young apprentice into someone even they themselves look up to. In the third phase, Xun Ge reaches the pinnacle of her level and begins to fight for her faction. She is more like a messenger yearning for peace, hoping that this starry sea will no longer be plagued by too much war, and she uses her utmost to protect all living beings. Even though Xun Ge always says that she is fighting for freedom and for herself, she still considers the starry sea her responsibility. She still will not rely on others and aspires to be the master of everything. Only when there is nothing left in the world that can threaten her will she be willing to give others a shred of trust. Even when facing "herself," it is the same—no one in this world can imprison her. The more someone tries to control or manipulate her, the more rebellious she becomes. Whether it is the Undead Wildfire or Xun Ge in the Mountains, each of them is Xun Ge, but each of them is also only herself. She remained proud and greedy, still wildly untamed, both restrained and insane. But she transformed from avenger into a judge, from being driven by hatred to making her own choices. This book isn't simply about love and hate, but a complex tapestry of intertwined emotions, where all beings are inextricably bound by fate. With each new phase, the grudges and resentments of the past become less important, yet they must still learn to move forward. Each character is complexly crafted, and every event is not simply black and white, good or evil; right and wrong cannot be easily categorized. Like the bear-shaped biscuit—what might have been an act of a leader's tyranny in the early stages becomes a heroic act of saving millions later. The constant entanglement, conflict, and eventual fusion make the story richer and more compelling. They never openly express their true feelings, such as racial hatred and compassion for their own kind, admiration and rivalry for their nemesis, or idol worship and obsession. They won't bow to anyone, but the author uses many foreshadowing elements to let readers see their true selves—this is more intoxicating than a thousand times more artificial sweetener. Although I felt a bit tired by the end, the overall quality is truly exceptional among female-oriented works on Tomato TV. It showed me the greatness of creation, and this is the meaning of creative freedom.
