Ancient sadomasochistic pull｜Equal scenes between two male protagonists｜Growth and redemption｜Open ending One chapter updated every day, updated on weekends Purpose: Breaking the single values of "absolute justice and pure light" in youth literature, using Nanjing's urban changes, officialdom development and corporate transformation as the background of the times, and putting forward a core proposition: the heroine's true growth is not to stick to the ideal of perfection, but to accept the grayscale of reality. There is no absolutely right choice, only trade-offs with different stances and different costs; some people abide by the rules of context, while others shoulder the responsibility of kindness. All seemingly opposing choices are the inevitable consequences of the times and human nature.
