A fleeting glance by the riverbank at fifteen years old captivated Zhang Zhiming, who at twenty-five was consumed by love for life. She was the one who slowly fell in love, but it was too late to turn back; he was the one who waited a lifetime for a single, unforgettable glance. The most heart-wrenching part of this book isn't the separation of life and death, but the "missed opportunities." When she finally mustered the courage to love him, she was forced to disappear; when he finally grasped her hand in the sea of ​​people, she was already burdened with the mission of her family and country, unable even to shed a tear. She lived with six different identities, only daring to silently weep as Lin Die'er in a corner unseen by him.

    "She was my sun, yet I extinguished her light with my own hands." — A tragic ancient Chinese romance novel, sweet at first, then agonizing, both leads are virgins (there might be misunderstandings in the early stages, but it will be explained later). The male and female leads grew up together as childhood sweethearts. She was his princess consort, his wife of the Prince of Huai, and his crown princess. But a royal decree reduced her to a mere concubine, while the empress was someone else. However, none of this was his intention; an invisible hand manipulated everything, and he was powerless to resist. They loved each other so much, yet fate cruelly played a cruel trick on them. In the end, the female lead died with resentment, and the male lead committed suicide for love. The second female lead was chosen to travel to this world. She was deceived by a lie and needed to complete a mission to return, but gradually she realized something was wrong. She wanted to stop it, to make amends, but the system was too powerful, and she couldn't stop it. In the end, the male and female protagonists passed away one after the other. She took the child that originally belonged to them and gave up going home, choosing to stay and raise the child. In the end, she tried every means to take the system down with her, giving all the persecuted worlds a chance for a new life (the male and female protagonists of this book are one of them). The second female lead has a particularly grand vision. Every character in the book has their own hardships and is very pitiful. The worst is the system. There are many plot twists and it's a very good read.
