Brewing Wine for You

To be honest, I didn't understand many parts of "For the Ruler" the first time I watched it because there were so many suspenseful moments, and I was always in a hurry to move on from the plot, so I read it rather superficially. During the two years I waited for the next episode, I did some basic research on the history of the Southern Song Dynasty.

My memory isn't very good, and I easily forget things. To be honest, reading a serialized novel, especially a long one like "For You," is quite a challenge for me. Each new chapter brings a wealth of content, but I often forget the ending of the previous chapter, requiring me to reread it before starting a new one.

I confess! (Raises hands) I confess! (Raises hands high) First, it's true, I have indeed written 21,954 words (according to Word's built-in statistics tool, including punctuation). Secondly, I apologize for speaking too loudly in my leave request yesterday, saying "I will definitely update today." I started writing last night and got stuck for several hours without writing a single word.

I'm writing down my thoughts after reading it. When I first finished, I felt there were many things I didn't understand, and I had many feelings I didn't know how to express in specific words, so I procrastinated for a long time. Ughhhhhh! I read *For You* after reading *Piercing Through the Hemp*.

Reading the final chapter again after such a long hiatus, the very first sentence made me think I'd accidentally clicked on the wrong page and returned to the first chapter. Fortunately, as I looked down, I realized I hadn't come to the wrong place. Sometimes I'm not sure if I understand the sibling relationship between Shen Shu and Shen Wen.

Beginning with "The first snow soaked Jiang Man's mourning clothes," and ending with "The first snow soaked Jiang Man's mourning clothes," it begins with Jiang Man's grief over the loss of her loved ones and ends with Shen Wen's mother's death, Jiang Man's brother's death, and the emperor's passing—the death knell of the Southern Song Dynasty. At this point, they have no more ties. Alas, the journey so far has been filled with emotional turmoil, but here only melancholy remains.

First of all, congratulations on the completion of the series!!! After four or five years, Yu Da's painful creative journey in the later stages has finally come to an end. Thank you for your hard work!!! There are still many chapters I haven't read in detail (I bow deeply, the political intrigue is too mentally taxing, I'll read them slowly later).

The dilapidated roof tiles of Guiyin Garden could not be replaced by Aman. I was so reluctant to part with them, but even the most beloved stories must come to an end. Beneath the walls of a fallen kingdom, people wandered and displaced. I wonder how Aman and the Lady of the Palace were doing in Xiangyang.

From the beginning, when Shen Wen took everyone away without leaving anyone behind, I knew she didn't intend to return to Lin'an. I hoped she would rebel, but rationally I knew it was impossible. The timing wasn't right, the preparations were insufficient, and the people's hearts weren't in it; the chances of success were too low.

Every time I read Yu's sick leave slips, I watch with great interest, nodding and swaying my head. Could Yu publish a compilation of sick leave slips? 😍
