    It's a story of redemption between girls. "Sui'er, remember, when facing all the difficulties that try to kill you and trample on you, don't look up, look down." Shen Jiao (Sui'er's mother): Don't easily label yourself as someone who's content to be a supporting character. Human nature shouldn't be underestimated. Rather than one day becoming a supporting character and allowing evil to grow, ruining the original relationship, it's better to bloom together. Because no matter if the ending is brilliant or withered, at least you've supported each other. Shen Mianzhi: I don't want to be a princess, I want to be a dragon-slaying knight. Sword pointing upwards, forever pursuing freedom and glory. Su Miao: "Anyone's love for me is influenced by time, space, and circumstances, but my love for myself depends solely on myself. So, if I want to gain true affection, true love, pleasing myself is enough..."
