   A clean and straightforward book, devoid of vulgar language. Set in 1953, it presents a rigorous and logically sound narrative of a powerful industrial nation. Free of malice, the protagonist, Lao Liu, initially appears saintly, but is later revealed to be calculating and manipulative towards everyone and everything around him. The book avoids simplistic black-and-white characterizations, presenting a protagonist with a grand vision, a deep concern for his country, and clear goals. He quietly dedicates himself using his advanced knowledge, making the courtyard disputes merely a backdrop, never getting dragged into petty infighting. What he truly cares about is the world beyond the walls, waiting to rise. The gains and losses of the courtyard are never part of his grand scheme.

After I graduated, and he was about to graduate as well, he sent me his first love letter while I was working away from home. After that, he relentlessly pursued me. When I was hospitalized after a car accident, he took care of me like a boyfriend. After I returned home from the hospital, he called me almost every day, even though phone calls cost six cents a minute back then. He frequently visited me at my house. He thought sincerity could move mountains, but I had a heart of stone; I didn't like anyone from the first glance, and I never would. I was simply captivated by his gentleness and thoughtfulness, hoping he could become my older brother. After several rejections, he persisted, and I was moved, agreeing to date and marry him. However, to appease his friend, who was my nominal boyfriend, he devised the absurd plan of having me date other boys and then break up with them to date him, leading me to encounter a heartless wolf.

    Reader note

    My acquaintance with him began when he and three classmates rented a room in my house during his high school years. We lived under the same roof. However, he was glib, a womanizer, and extremely rude. He was cunning and manipulative, flirting with girls everywhere and writing love letters to different girls, which I found extremely repulsive and disgusting. Unexpectedly, he used his cunning to invite only me to see him off to the army, effectively positioning me as his girlfriend. Although I didn't agree to be with him, I was labeled his girlfriend, preventing his other friends who liked me from taking things further out of loyalty to me. During this time, he maintained an ambiguous relationship with me, exchanging letters, and my heart gradually began to flutter. But I didn't expect that a year later, when he went back to his hometown for leave, his attitude towards me would change. Some of his friends, not wanting me to be deceived by him while he was seeing several girls at once, warned me. In the end, our breakup wasn't a romantic one, because we had never even started anything; we severed ties, not even becoming ordinary friends.
