    Trust me! This one! Just finished! The plot isn't clichéd, there are no mindless cheat codes or time-travel systems, and the male and female leads aren't superhuman beings. The story is grand in scale, involving the unification of the Tanzhao Dynasty, the Western Huang Empire, and the twenty-three northern nomadic tribes. In the story, characters like Yin Chengji, Yin Chengrui, Emperor Zhaoming, Xiao Linghui, Liu Qingqi, Chen Qingyan, Imperial Physician Jingyan, Empress Dowager Yuanling, and Princess Xiyuan are all supporting characters, but each has their own origin and destiny. Around chapter 60, the tear-jerking and thrilling moments become more frequent, getting increasingly addictive as you read on. I cried many times myself. The logic is sound, there are many foreshadowing elements, and the last few epilogues are also excellent. Every plot point is perfectly resolved. Highly recommended!

    It's incredibly heart-wrenching; the male and female leads struggle their entire lives, yet it still ends in a tragic ending, which is truly painful. I cried buckets of tears and felt so unsatisfied! The second male lead is also very devoted, and the love triangle is incredibly captivating. I love the author's subtle Chinese-style writing and melancholic tone; it leaves a lasting impression.

    I lay on the bed in the alchemy room, my body feeling as if all my bones had been removed, too weak even to open my eyes. I faintly heard footsteps beside me; it was my senior sister's voice asking, "Where's Xiao Wu?" But I couldn't utter a sound. Darkness engulfed me like a tidal wave until I was roughly dragged up—Yun Shu's hand gripped my arm like an iron clamp, her venomous breath on my face. "You're like this, why aren't you dead yet?" She dragged me towards the precipice, the loose rocks digging into my back, the pain making my consciousness flicker. The wind from the cliff edge filled my throat; I wanted to laugh, but I didn't even have the strength to move my lips. Her kick was filled with hatred; as I fell, I heard her feigned cries, and I vaguely remembered her always pestering me for candy. In the descent, I even smelled a familiar scent. The guardian beast's fur was soft; the moment it caught me, memories ripped through my heart like a sharp blade. I remembered my eldest brother tearing my heart out with his own hands, the cold look in his eyes when he said, "Use your heart's blood to save Xiao Liu," and the excruciating pain when my spiritual root was extracted. It turns out that loving someone to the extreme truly makes one willing to give their life. When I regained consciousness, my senior sister's spiritual power surged into my body. I wanted to tell her not to waste her energy, but I didn't even have the strength to open my mouth. In a hazy state, I heard my senior brothers' conversation; it turned out that Master had used a heart-protecting mirror on me. Suddenly, the memory became clear—that time Master was in danger, I shielded her without hesitation, and she held me, covered in blood, trembling as she pressed the heart-protecting mirror against my chest. "Xiao Wu owes no one anything," my eldest brother's voice drifted in with the wind. I wanted to laugh, but my chest felt empty. My heart still beat for my senior sister; what did it matter if my spiritual root was gone? It was just a regret that I couldn't let him know that the little shadow who always followed him had already etched him into her destiny. Now, having been pushed off the cliff by him, I had finally repaid all my debts of affection. 3
