   I don't know either. I think Tomato should provide specific reasons when applying for a contract and recommendation. Otherwise, newbies have no idea what went wrong. They spend ages making changes, maybe changing the good parts while keeping the bad ones. [Facepalm]

   My work doesn't get much traffic, but it's truly something I wrote with my heart, and every character was carefully crafted. Please help me take a look!! She knelt on the cobblestone path, her knees bleeding, her mother standing under the eaves, watching coldly. Jun Li understood one thing at the age of seven: wounds are useful. Not for scheming, but for begging for help. She begged for ten years, and finally someone heard her. Later, she stood in the court and looked back—behind her stood the Second Prince, that hypocritical lone wolf, who gave her his entire fortune. Behind her stood the Third Prince, that nobleman who raised cranes in the abyss, giving her the gentlest understanding. Behind her stood the Fourth Prince, that spoiled canary, who only knew how to eat and drink but was the most obedient to her. And the Eldest Princess, that gentle noblewoman pushed off a cliff by her mother's love, looking at her with guilt and envy in her eyes. And the Third Princess, that thorny rock, her back straight, shielding her sister from all the storms. And then there's the Fourth Princess, that silent shadow, hiding behind her sister yet bringing a bowl of hot soup. And the Fifth Princess, that arrogant little tyrant, saying "This is a reward for you," but her eyes betrayed her concern. And the Fifth Prince, that spoiled brat, grinning foolishly as he called her "Second Sister." And the First Prince—that lone wolf who only loved himself—paused his wine cup when she called him "Brother." She protected them all, only to find herself at the very front. So she would go all the way. Princess Jun Li, in this game, wasn't for the throne, but for those standing behind her.
