   Before, when I read long novels, I would persevere and finish them bit by bit. Now, I usually read halfway through or skip around. But this novel brought back the feeling I had when I first started reading novels. I read it little by little every day without skipping around. It's not formulaic or pandering; it has its own storyline, and the plot doesn't fall apart. It truly is a female-centric novel. I'm really grateful that we live in the best of times.

Initially, I just planned to read it before bed, but I ended up reading it all the way through. The character of Feng Tao is so well-developed; I really love him. The plot is also very logical. Finishing this book has temporarily relieved my reading slump.
