   This book is absolutely amazing! I started reading Tomato (a popular Chinese novelist) because of this novel. It's one of those stories where the first book I read is a masterpiece. After that, every other novel I read felt a little lacking, so I stopped reading the series. But this one is still a god-tier book in my heart. It doesn't have a large ensemble cast in the beginning, but it does later, and each character's emotional arc is incredibly rich. It's the kind of book that makes many people cry, and of course, there are some unresolved issues. The female lead is the kind of aloof character who dreams of cultivating immortality and protecting the world. There are so many unresolved issues in it. I love one line: "Heroes have grown old; they need fresh blood to fill the void." It's basically a group of mute characters and two talkative ones. The later parts are a bit angsty.
