    This is an incredibly good book. The main couple, Nangong Yuexi and Bei Li Yanqing, are fantastic, as are the side couples, Shiyin and Jiang Che, and Yin Yao and Si Wangchen. Every pair is so endearing. However, it's also very poignant. It's a pity that the female lead, as a child of another world, ultimately gave up everything she cared about to shoulder her mission, sacrificing her own life for world peace. 😢😢😢 It's a pity that Shiyin, despite finding her family and surviving the explosion, couldn't escape the cruelty of human nature, dying without ever seeing her family again. 😢😢😢 It's a pity that the gentle Yin Yao was betrayed and killed by her respected brother. 😢😢😢 It's also a pity that Chi Yanqing, Jiang Che, and Si Wangchen, because of the loss of their loved ones, lived out their lives alone, guarding their memories. 😢😢😢 "As long as you live, you can turn things around; those who dare not try are destined for mediocrity." "Even if life is short, give it your all and shine brightly."
