   Go for it! Leng Luoluo was born as the Leng family's "bone marrow tool"—to prolong Leng Baozhu's life, she was forced into pregnancy by her live-in son-in-law Bai Zuhui and an illiterate woman. For eighteen years, she fends for herself, with only the mute servant Wu Ma by her side. When Chen family heir Cheng Fenghe unexpectedly enters Leng Luoluo's life, Leng Debin suddenly packages the abandoned daughter as a beautiful pawn. Little does he know that Cheng Fenghe has already laid a surveillance network, and when her younger brother Cheng Zihe interferes, she stares at the fabricated "chance encounter" video and chuckles: "Miss Leng, who is the fisherman between us?" A blood-red rose blooms amidst lies, and the bone marrow contract conceals a distorted debt between two generations.

   Reader note

   A middle-aged critic's book recommendation: A crossover book, for ease of understanding, it can be seen as a combination of hard science fiction, strong strategy, and high-minded viewpoints, like "The End of Ten Days." However, the main characters are a bit abnormal, and if readers laugh uncontrollably, it's not the author's fault. The logic is rigorous; the knowledge from 17 disciplines is supported by orthodox theories, not just popular theories disguised as science. The story is ingenious, with interconnected plots, numerous foreshadowing elements, and all plot holes are resolved; it's not a fragmented story pieced together solely to prove the author's point. I don't care if this book turns my life around or changes my fate; the questionable title won't introduce me to any interesting souls.

    [Laughing emoji] My dear "madmen," my new album "Madness" is finally here! This time, I've brought the worldview of Qian Longsheng's novel "The Mystery of Case 241" into my music, using synthesizers and distorted guitars to tear away the facade of prosperity, and using piano and folk guitars to illuminate the glimmer of light in the darkness.

I hope you can hear the hope that sprouts from despair in my songs, and together explore the deeper meaning of "madness."
