    This novel was recommended to me by a friend who found me reading Tomato. I don't really read Danmei; but out of politeness I read it anyway. It's a bit sadistic, and the ending is a bit open-ended, but it still makes me feel playful. If you like it, don't bring your own opinions into it when watching it. After all, although the experience of the male protagonist is indeed very regrettable, it is indeed not true that he killed someone! Here are my favorite snippets:

    After all the members BEed, the lingering dream of the world merging and the pain of bone erosion. "The sentence is bitter first and then sweet, I have endured it year after year", but I can't survive your frivolous "I cheated". The heavy rain washed away the candlelight of the "First Wedding Anniversary", and the colorful ribbons he arranged by himself swayed in the wind, like a shaky sincerity. The food on the table is still warm, but the betrayal of the lover is colder than the rain. How much unwillingness and despair are swallowed by the words "Let's eat first"? When the worlds of all BE members began to merge, the broken storylines intertwined into an airtight web. The regrets of not getting what you want, the obsession of not getting love, and the sadness of losing your loved one are torn apart repeatedly in the intersection of time and space. People who once loved each other have become strangers, and people who are separated by life and death will never meet again. Every time the world collides, it is another cut out of the unhealed scar. The gears of fate are reversed, but the original heartbeat cannot be reversed; the broken souls are pieced together, but there is no happy ending. All the good things are shattered in BE. In the world after the integration, only the BE aesthetics of devastation and bone erosion remain.
