    I highly recommend "The Caution of Mediocre People," a realistic and slowly agonizing story. There are no hysterical conflicts, but the pain spreads like a dull knife. The young man is trapped in his own cowardice, watching helplessly as opportunities and passions slip away, ultimately wasting his life. Most of his regrets are self-inflicted. After finishing it, I felt a tightness in my chest for a long time; it has a powerful aftertaste.

    Let me recommend a masterpiece. "Emperor Renzu of Tang" is a nearly one-million-word novel that will be completed in mid-September. It's not mindless or simplistic; the characters are brilliantly developed. I suggest reading the comments section of the last chapter first, where the author summarizes the entire novel, which will aid your reading. If you don't like it after reading it, you can slap me in the face! The author's writing is amazing, with a grand scope, ingenious plot, lofty ideals, profound thoughts, solid knowledge, deep cultural foundation, and top-notch political intrigue. ◦ Political intrigue highlights: The entire book focuses on overt strategies; Li Ke and Li Shimin are both players and pawns in a game. ◦ Character highlights: Qin Qiong's satisfying ending distinguishes it from traditional tragic novels; the characters are well-developed. ◦ Guarantee of the work: A complete one-million-word novel with no unresolved plot holes, all foreshadowing resolved, and no rushed ending.
