    All characters suffer tragic endings. In the chaotic Three Kingdoms period, everyone is caught in the crossfire; the sweeter the beginning, the more painful the end. This is true in over a dozen parallel worlds, where all beings suffer, desires are unfulfilled, and happiness is never possible. (Multiple perspectives in the side stories, even more heartbreaking moments) The second male lead, Zhuge Ke, is a mirror; his tragic life reflects the suffering of everyone. He secretly loves the most talented man. He appears thirty chapters late, missing out on opportunities by seven or eight years, loving painfully and humbly. In his final desperate act of madness, he dies, his clan is wiped out, and he suffers eternal damnation. His name is repeatedly tarnished by many. Even after his death, more people continue to discover traces of his deep love. In over a dozen different side story "IF" scenarios, he still cannot achieve a happy ending (he is tortured countless times in different ways).
