    Unrequited love in youth is silent, yet often ends in regret. This is something many desire but cannot attain; not everyone's wish is fulfilled, nor does everyone's unrequited love receive a response. But novels, music, and other works of art originate from this. They reflect the complexities of life and the boundless imagination of thought. 😅😅😅 I hope this novel, with its gentle, flowing narrative of unrequited love and its echoing message, can bring us a touch of solace and emotion. The writing and development are excellent. I cried for Fu Sizhuo back then, and I cried for Shen Zhuying back then. Youth is like a game of chess; once a move is made, there's no going back. Fu Sizhuo's experience proves that "youth is the best chapter of life." We've complained, but we cannot deny that even though exam-oriented education brings us much pain, the unbridled joy of youth is always the best, the most beautiful, and the most enviable.

    The female lead has a very realistic personality—free-spirited and clear-headed.

The male lead is also quite good; he's the kind of guy who grew up in a wealthy, well-off family with a harmonious upbringing. He has normal values and is very ambitious. He might not fully understand the lives of people raised in environments like the female lead's, but he's actually a very good guy.

    It's a good read. The whole story is logical and not childish. The female lead is a transmigrator who worked at a neighborhood committee office before her transmigration. It's quite interesting; there's no system or cheat code. The female lead's own knowledge is her cheat code. She's calm, rational, and has good judgment. No wonder she worked at a neighborhood committee office. Unlike some stories where the female lead is overpowered from the start and has a smooth, mindless journey, she lives a very serious life. She's not just all talk and no action. She's the kind of person who actually does things. She has strong moral values, is kind but not a saint, and has principles. She believes in self-cultivation when poor and helping others when successful. She helps the vulnerable within her means. What impressed me most was the romance between the male and female leads. It's not the typical melodramatic love-at-first-sight story. They're not crazy either. They naturally develop from strangers to friends who can talk to each other, and they both have some feelings for each other. Overall, not bad 😜😜😜😜.

He only wishes to see her find her home, so he can die without regrets. The pretty young woman gazes at her father's pale face, her fingers touching his pulse. Having long been ill herself, she already understands the cruelty hidden in his pulse, and finally, with tears in her eyes, she agrees.
