    This book has its own cultivation system. Although it's a romance novel, the romance aspect is minimal. The plot is intricately woven, with foreshadowing elements resolved later to create a closed loop. The characters are intelligent, including villains and supporting characters. Initially, the female lead, Yin Nian, might seem overpowered, like a typical wish-fulfillment story, but she achieves her goals through hard work and never relies on others. The male lead, Yuan Xinsui, initially clings to Yin Nian and ignores everyone else, but the genuine friendship of her friends gradually helps him escape his childhood trauma. Later, he encounters his own people and begins working to revive and rebuild their clan. Unlike the typical "I'd destroy everyone for you" type of male lead, he considers the bigger picture and, despite his constant clinginess, remains serious when necessary.
