   Embracing the bright moon, the narcissus in my heart is the ceiling. I've only read one type of Narcissus fanfiction, which was the old "Xiao Huan" fanfiction. Strictly speaking, that wasn't really a proper Narcissus story, so the only legitimate Narcissus story I've read so far is "Lan Ming Yue." I followed the serialization of this book at the beginning, reading it intermittently, and only reread it after it was finished. Because I watched it in a disjointed way, my impression of Wang Dian and Liang Ye, apart from their extreme tug-of-war, was that they were crazy and eccentric, and also that President Wang couldn't forget about that piece of land in the east of the city. It wasn't until I rewatched it after it was finished that I realized— Um… Okay, it's still about their extreme tug-of-war, that piece of land in the east of the city, and their madness and insanity! It can only be said that President Wang and Qianqian truly live up to their reputation. His eccentricities are renowned far and wide, his madness unique and unparalleled; even passing dogs are drawn to him… So much so that the sight of President Wang in a suit and tie, holding a glass of red wine, didn't puzzle any of the civil and military officials. In fact, they thought this strange outfit was much better than his previous attire. Even his short hair seemed to be a sign of his prepared recitation. It was truly a case of "except for President Wang, who was completely bewildered," that the other civil and military officials all breathed a sigh of relief, because their Emperor had finally arrived! To attend court! By the way, I absolutely loved the transition between Qianqian and Boss Wang!! At first, I thought Wen Hesheng's madness was an act, a rebellious act, until later I realized he was genuinely insane. Speaking of which, because of the serialization, I read "The Immortal Sweeps Away Fallen Leaves," the graduate of the Heartless Path, before reading "Not For." At the time, I wondered why so many people were criticizing Wen Hesheng. After being banished to the mortal realm, he finally found his brother; it should have been a happy ending, right? What else could he do? Why was he being criticized so harshly? It wasn't until the end of "The Moon Embracing the Sun" that I read the second half and understood the reason. I couldn't help but bang my head on the ground: Why didn't you just grind that guy to dust and annihilate his soul back then?! I'm so angry! The first half of the article only showed Qianqian's madness, the interactions between Qianqian and President Wang, and President Wang's gritted teeth every time he was suppressed by Qianqian. At that time, I didn't understand why everyone said President Wang was crazy, even crazier than Qianqian. I just felt that President Wang was indeed a true domineering CEO, very manly and rational, and I couldn't see any madness in him at all. As more and more foreshadowing and hidden plots surfaced in the middle and later parts, it turned out that the monthly White Jade Soup was not just poison, and that the blood-related meaning behind Qianqian's visits to Boss Wang after drinking the White Jade Soup was also a factor. Bones, crabapple blossoms, little stones, Snowdrift Garden. To hell with Snowdrift Garden. I thought Qianqian had occasional amnesia, and that Mr. Wang's occasional familiarity meant he had once transmigrated into the body of Qianqian, but it turns out... Nine lifetimes of merit and hardship, ten lifetimes of human emperor and immortality. Wen Hesheng, die! Wild graves in the desolate mountains, where clothes and hats are buried together. No one can save me; I will save myself. No one in the world understands you better than yourself. Love yourself, be jealous of yourself. It's all myself. He endured countless tribulations in the mortal world, yet remained stubbornly deluded.

   These past few days I've suddenly felt like rereading old-school bodyguard novels, and I have to say, the best way to read bodyguard novels is to go back to the old days. In my opinion, the top three novels about bodyguards are "Following the Dragon", "The Sword of the Wind", and "Even the Demon Lord Wants to Know". I like the plots of "The Sword of Despair" and "The Demon Lord," but in terms of characters, "From the Dragon" is the best in my heart. Although "From the Dragon" is short, it is exquisite, and the protagonist is the most emperor-like emperor I have ever seen, and also the emperor who has shown "love is support" to the extreme. I read the old txt file, so I don't know if JJ's version was edited later, but given JJ's sensitive skin, it's highly likely that it was edited. For example, the legendary sword was directly changed to an asterisk in JJ's version (facepalm).

   This is an absolutely fantastic novel!!! Everyone, from the primary to the secondary members, was intelligent and emotionally intelligent. There was no beating around the bush, no awkwardness, no affectation, and no misunderstandings. Everyone was quick to speak! (Except for the inhuman Ji family parents and the marginalized Du Xi). Although the entire text has only 260,000+ words, I felt it had the momentum of 400,000+ words. I read it carefully, word by word, and I didn't want to skip any parts. The author's writing style is so delicate that it makes you completely ignore the word count. I previously said that "Shoushan" was the best novel I've read this year, but I retract that now. "Shoushan" and this novel are the two best books I've read this year!!! I usually read one or two books a week, and by mid-September I've already discovered two truly amazing books! I'm overjoyed! I hope to find a third or fourth such amazing book before the end of the year!! May Mr. Lin and Mr. Ji live peaceful and stable years. Now, Ji Lin is 99.

   It deserves its 9.9 Score, and the entire text is free. This is the third best novel I've read this year. I rarely read Zerg and Sentinel stories. The former makes me feel like it's a female-oriented domineering CEO story disguised as a story about winged creatures, while the latter makes me feel like it's a campus story disguised as a story about cats and dogs. This novel about the Zerg, full of my own personal interpretations, completely fulfills my ideal of the Zerg, the Zerg I envision. I highly recommend it!

   Chicken is always the only god that I don't need to wait for to finish. He can write a year's worth of content in three or four months. I can't even come close to him, I really can't keep up with his updates! I first got to know Chicken Boss from "Broken Pot", but the book I really fell in love with was "Warrior". Although I don't remember the specific plot of "Warrior" now, I still remember the subconscious action of Little Qilin when he mounted his horse, the scene of Lu Bu kicking Diao Chan with his long legs, and the most classic scene of Lu Bu chasing eggs with chickens. Thinking about it now, the imagery pops up again. Speaking of which, I read most of Mother Hen's works before 2017, but after that, due to personal changes, I rarely used computers and mobile phones. When I reread her works, it was already 2024. As a former reader who has returned to Jinjiang Literature City, I've noticed that Jinjiang has somehow become a veritable "Little Green River" (a reference to a fictional, often derogatory, website). It has finally sealed off the hen's wings and welded shut the hen's garage door, leaving only a dilapidated, leaky unicycle. Our hen can no longer freely show off her driving skills. From now on, there will be no more tire tracks left by speeding past, only the six round marks left by the unicycle after it deflated. Back then, I only followed half of "Guoqu". The reason I'm rewatching it now is because I suddenly found out that "Songqu" has ended, so I wanted to watch the whole series together. So at the beginning of the month, I watched "Mingwang", "Wanwu", "Dinghai", "Tianbao" and "Qingping" in succession, and I'm looking forward to the Qingping spin-off and "Tangqu". When I first read "Ming Wang" in this series, I thought it was my favorite. Then, when I read "Wanwu", I changed my mind and realized I liked it even more. Then, I kept overturning my previous conclusions until today, when I finished reading "Qingping". I have now come to the conclusion that I like every single one of them the most. Every character, whether protagonist or supporting role, is so three-dimensional and vivid, with flesh and blood. The charm of the ensemble cast in Ji Zong's works remains as strong as ever. Unlike other ways of reading, the experience is truly amazing. I rarely read the same author's works consecutively, let alone a whole series, because my brain can't keep up, I get "aesthetic" fatigue, and it's really tiring. Looking back now, I regret reading "Ming Wang" and "Wanwu" first. I should have left those two for last. This also caused me to have a persistent sense of disconnect with Kunpeng and the other two when reading "Tianbao". I don't know if it's because I read them back-to-back, but I actually spoiled the plot for myself, which was really painful. Five books sharing the same theme, yet each with a different story, some humorous, some somber. The recurring theme throughout the series, "The living are travelers, the dead are those who return home. Heaven and earth are but a fleeting inn, all share the same sorrow of eternity," evokes a different mood each time it appears. Reading them in succession, I don't even know who suffered the most; it's just too difficult, every single one of them is incredibly challenging. Once again, I'm in awe of Chicken Boss's writing; I worship Chicken Boss, my god. After reading all five books, each one was more hilarious and more heartbreaking than the last. This book, "Qing Ping," made me so heartbroken that I burst into tears. Five main characters and countless supporting characters make it hard to tell who I like the most. Fortunately, I can still tell which villain I hate the most. It's you—the thief King Gou, the King Mu.

   Love can turn a cliff into a highway. To the world's best Fanbao and aged teas This wasn't the first campus novel I read, but it's certainly the most captivating. While I still remember the amazement I felt when reading my first campus novel, nothing quite matched the impact of "After School." I'm a bit cold-hearted and stubborn. Unlike most readers who reread a good novel repeatedly, the only ones I've reread countless times are Dianjia's "Black Blood" and "Mystery," Lvjiang's "The Pivot to Heaven," and this book, "After School," two of which are over a decade old. This clearly shows the significance of "After School" to me. At first glance, "After School" wasn't particularly impressive. I just thought Fan Bao was arrogant, a tough but academically weak school bully who was good at fighting, while Jing Shen was an excellent student. I remember starting the story because of the opening confession in the synopsis; I was purely attracted by the synopsis. Initially, based on my preconceived notions, I thought it was a typical pairing of academically weak and academically strong individuals. I even wondered if it was just another cliché: "falling in love at the beginning of the school year, breaking up after graduation, reuniting after a few years, and getting back together at work." That was my first impression. I never imagined that the real Yu Fan and Chen Jingshen would be like this. I was initially drawn in by the synopsis, but ultimately captivated by their charm. The supporting characters weren't just there to promote the protagonists; they were true friends and teachers! Even characters like Pang Hu, Ms. Ji, Yu the Scumbag, and the mother who only appeared briefly were so vivid! It felt as if such a group of people truly existed, not just characters in a book, but real people living in this world just like us. Yu Fan, with her explosive fighting skills and tough exterior but soft heart, and Chen Jingshen, who appears aloof to outsiders but is all smiles and teasing only towards Yu Fan—how can anyone not love them! I've never seen a pure-hearted guy who's already mentally and verbally defeated Chen Jingshen while his face is practically bleeding red, nor have I ever seen someone like Chen Jingshen deliver sweet nothings with such a blank expression. His intelligence matches his cunning. Ah! These two are such a lovable pair, I can't love them enough! "I am Chen Jingshen." "If I were a girl!" "It's okay, I know!" "What are we going to talk about!?" "Wait for me after school." "Yu Fan, do you want to break up with me?" "Aren't you feeling better?!" "Honey, when are you going to marry me?" "Chen Jingshen, stop being so clingy!" "I don't want to break up." I started watching "After School" laughing, then I finished laughing and then cried. Then I watched it again, laughing and crying at the same time, like a madman. Even when it was so heart-wrenching later on, I'd still rewatch it every now and then—that's the charm of "After School." Poor me, almost forty, I have to endure my son's existential questions every now and then: "Mom, why are you crying?" And "Mom, what are you laughing at?" I downloaded an audio drama a while ago. The only audio drama I ever listened to before was "The Beautiful Ghost," but I don't remember how many years ago it was, it must have been a long time ago, and I was listening to a pirated version. To my shame, I also downloaded a pirated version of "After School," but Fan Bao and Jing Shen were worth spending 100 yuan to listen to the official version. Actually, before listening, I thought it would be very different from the book, but it turns out I overestimated myself and underestimated the radio drama. This is the best Yu Fan in "After School"! The best Chen Jingshen! Jingshen Yu Fan 99

   [Positive energy, sound values, respect for the motherland, and respect for medicine] The first chapter is about the rivalry between old enemies, just like when enemies meet in anime and their eyes flash with lightning, it's really about who can get out of the house first to get the first move. This is the first time I've seen this kind of setting of old enemies, like happy enemies. Although they don't fight each other, they recognize that each other is strong. The one who is cold and the one who is indebted always comes up to tease me. They truly are arch-rivals; even their heartbreak partners are the same person. Of course, Dr. Jiang genuinely liked him, but Dr. Shen's reasons are hard to say, considering even liking Shen required visiting the old Chinese medicine doctor's closeted friend. Thank you for heartbreak, thank you for the hellish bar, thank you for that damn competitive spirit. One night in a hotel, very adult-oriented. I don't know why I describe it that way, but compared to the erotic excitement, or how spicy Dr. Jiang was, or how good Dr. Shen's food was, etc., The first thing that came to my mind was the word "adult," whether before or after. One night of passion... I don't know whether to say Dr. Shen's technique was good or terrible? He actually left Dr. Jiang in pain for a week. And Dr. Shen, though blacked out, relived the experience in his dreams for a week. Truly arch-rivals, even afterwards they managed to have a showdown in some inexplicable coincidence >▽< At first glance, I thought "Dr. Jiang" was a lighthearted, easy read, and I'm not wrong—the title was incredibly deceptive, and the cover really did look like it. If I were to use any still from the radio drama, I could immediately tell it's a story about urban elites. [Just kidding!] It wasn't until I read it that I realized this wasn't just for beginners; it was a meticulously researched, rigorous, and serious medical novel. In my opinion, I consider "Dr. Jiang" to be the No. 1 Medical novel. I don't understand medicine, nor can I read the medical terminology in the article. But I have been sick, hospitalized, and had surgery. Fortunately, my surgeons chatted the whole time. So every time I see various rescue scenes, besides feeling shocked, admiring, tense, excited, and marveling at how difficult it is for doctors, I also watch the medical experts in the comments section to explain things in a way that I don't quite understand, and then shout "666" as a straight man. Jiang Shen is a true doctor, not just one with superb medical skills, but a genuinely good doctor who takes healing and saving lives as his duty. In official terms, [they uphold the original aspiration of doctors, selflessly dedicate themselves, and have made significant contributions to safeguarding people's lives and health.] I'm so glad this is a novel, not because I think doctors like Jiang Shen shouldn't exist in reality. On the contrary, I hope there are more doctors like Jiang Shen in the real world. But more than that, I hope doctors can protect themselves. There are countless unscrupulous family members and mentally challenged patients in the world. There was Dr. Li Sheng last year, and the nurse who was beaten by her child and miscarried just because she was removing an IV. There are just too many cases like this. Medical disputes are really terrible. It's often said that medicine knows no borders, but doctors do. The arrogant Dr. Kenn in the article is a typical American. Thanks for thermal underwear, those who know, know. I am once again grateful to have been born in China. Although our motherland has been smeared, we cannot deny that they are wary and fearful of her. Respect to our motherland, may it prosper and become strong. Respect to medicine, may it be dedicated to selfless service.

    I read the first chapter of the extra chapter "First Encounter" first, and then went back to reread the first chapter. The subsequent chapters are seamlessly connected and amazing. When I first started reading the story, besides marveling at Huanhuan's dedication to her work year-round and overtime every day, I was also amazed by how tough it was for her. Every time she opened her eyes, she was surrounded by endless yellow sand and hideous zombies, as well as her soon-to-be husband who would kick her (I know Huanhuan is the seme). One second they were diligently reviewing memorials until they were vomiting blood, the next they were being trampled on to the ground... This is an utter insult! When has the Emperor of Liang, who unified four kingdoms, ever suffered such a humiliating disgrace? Even when I was a child and under control, no one ever stepped on my face or pressed me to the ground. [Slams the table] How dare you! (Of course, those who have read the extra chapters know that here, her husband, Chestnut, is already terrified of our Emperor! *Covers face*) These were my initial impressions when I first read the article. As for the controversial "little beast" insults mentioned in the article, I don't really feel anything about them. My mom calls my dad "Zhong Sheng" (beast) all the time, and my sister and I call each other that too. I also occasionally call my son "Zhong Sheng" that, so I'm immune to it. After watching "The Moon Embracing the Bright Moon," I immediately started watching "Mecha," and I was truly filled with emotion! This is the first time I've truly experienced what it means to be hit hard at the beginning! Our little crybaby Huanhuan has grown up. He was diligent in his duties throughout his life, and died alone after 33 years in office. I remember when Qianqian said he burned the dragon throne and made a new one, but it was still uncomfortable to sit on. Yet, Liang Huan sat on this uncomfortable chair for thirty-three years, reviewing the memorials that his nineteenth uncle used to roast sweet potatoes every day. Who would have thought that the monarch who unified four kingdoms was the worst of the worst, a beast of burdens who never took a break in his life, driving and driving every day until he finally died. He transformed from a crybaby who was afraid of every living person into a mature and composed emperor. But in the end, there are still some regrets! The gift placed beside his fierce-looking nineteenth uncle's pillow on New Year's Eve, and the uncle who couldn't come back to see him after he recaptured Huadong County, and who told him the story. A few days ago, I saw an old friend appear in my dream, saw Qianqian say that I had conveyed your words, and saw President Wang's apology. It was really hard for me, a woman who is almost forty, to cry like an idiot. Huanhuan's last wish was to live another thirty years so that people could have enough to eat and warm clothes to wear! Now open your eyes again... The difficulty of Huanhuan's wish has doubled, increased exponentially!! This magical new world is similar to the stories his uncle told him, yet not entirely the same. Our Huanhuan must really yearn for the world his uncle described. But alas, it went too far! This world boasts advanced technology, but it's also a wasteland littered with ruins. It's teeming with zombies, and even more so with monstrous imposters that infiltrate every nook and cranny. There is also a dazzling dawn star here.

    Nineteen years have passed. Sometimes it feels like time is passing very slowly, and I don't know how long it will take to get through each hurdle. Other times, it feels like time is flying by, and life is fleeting, with half of my life already behind me. Back when I graduated from junior high school, I entered the workforce with a mix of curiosity and ignorance, not knowing anything about life plans. After working for a year, I bought my first laptop. That year, I learned what QQ was, what QQ Spaces and QQ backlinks were. I can't remember the name of the first BL novel I ever read, but I do remember the first anime I ever watched was called "Zetsuai" (Absolute Love). Back then, I was filled with curiosity about new things and new knowledge, realizing that the world wasn't just about romantic love between men and women. In my youthful, carefree days, I learned about BL (Boys' Love), fanfiction, and pairings during my most romantic years, as well as cosplay, fans, and idol worship. And so, among the many popular pairings of that time, such as Xiaoqing, Qigu, and Shumao, I became a fan of Shumao. By chance, I joined a Shumao group. At that time, I even thought that all groups required an exam to join. After joining the group, I learned that the meanings of "mouse and cat" and "cat and mouse" are completely different. I also learned that the CP I like is called "[9475 Sun Mouse and Jiao Cat]" in the community, and the other characters they portray are called "derivative characters". Then I learned two new terms: top/bottom and derivative. Over the years, I met many like-minded people and made friends with many talented individuals. I also learned that "Rat and Cat" is not just about music videos, but also novels. I also learned about Tieba, Jinjiang Literature City, and Zonghengdao, and later witnessed the birth of Xiaoyaojing. I even took my first-ever flight to Jilin just to meet my online friend Zhaoran Yuzui. Looking back now, I was truly carefree and fearless. Even more amazing was the fan war between Gu and Jiao Mao/Jin Mao in Qi Gu Zhong, which introduced me to Tianya and Weibo. I don't follow derivative works or celebrities, but I was fortunate enough to be a bystander a few times. Recalling the intensity of the battle back then, I still remember it vividly. And so, I grew from a complete novice to a seasoned veteran. From a newbie to a discerning reader. My understanding of the mouse and the cat evolved from hearsay to gradually developing my own insights and perspectives. I think there are at least several thousand, if not tens of thousands, of mouse and cat-related works. The songs, articles, lyrics, and music videos are all flourishing and have their own unique charm, with countless classic works among them. Among the many mouse and cat stories, the ones that I remember most are "Daughter Red" from the Romantic series and "Forget Each Other" by MJ. I still remember shamelessly asking MJ for his autograph when I ordered a custom-made book. Now, when I occasionally flip through the pages and see MJ's words "To: My dearest Queying Wei'ai" and his adorable smiling signature, I still feel excited and thrilled. Although I consider myself a die-hard fan of the Rat and Cat series, I have very few Rat and Cat related items in my collection. Over the years, I only have a collection of poems by 44 and Xingwei's picture albums "Qingfeng Collection" and "Jianghu Mandi". The only books available are MJ's "Forget Each Other" and Hsien-Da's "half a volume" of ten books, "The Brocade Rat and the Imperial Cat." As for why it's only "half a volume"...

Out of curiosity, I read it and found it different from what I remembered about Haitang. It wasn't until I went online and read the uncut version that I was amazed. It truly deserves to be called one of Haitang's classic works. This is a completely free, long novel that's not available for purchase.

    Never mind, I'll add another one. Even though I've already included two of Ah Xue's works on this list, and although I'm worried that including too many by the same author might create a negative reaction, I firmly believe that readers with similar tastes will read more of the author's work after finishing one, so I don't need to recommend too many other works by the same author. But this one, I really can't control my urge to recommend it! (By the way, I'm in the hospital again, which means I have time to read and write long reviews again! *Kneels*) Aside from the ongoing serialized novel *Parallel*, I haven't finished reading Ah Xue's other works, except for Da Xiao Yi's *Coincidentally*. When I wrote the long review of *Parallel*, I didn't expect to finish *Shut Up* and *Unrequited Love* so quickly, especially since I was almost discharged from the hospital. Who would have thought I'd be back in the hospital for the third time in less than a week? A month of hospitalization feels like going home—it's unbelievable! Orz I read "Shut Up" and "Unrequited Love" back-to-back. The reason I wanted to put "Shut Up" on my reading list is very simple, so simple that the title itself expresses my meaning — Shut up, I'm not listening. Empathize deeply! I feel so sorry for the little rabbit, it's giving me a headache. Empathy for the little lamb, it's not what it seems, baa baa baa ╮(╯▽╰)╭ Actually, I had doubts when I first came across his heartfelt writings. How did he manage to think that what he was thinking was exactly what the other person needed to hear? Did he never have any inner conflict? Because I didn't understand, I didn't finish reading it, and I haven't clicked on similar ones since. I read this book purely because of my understanding of the author. I firmly believe that none of the protagonists in Xue's works are not crazy, even if he looks like a normal social elite, a seemingly bankrupt painter, a vulnerable little rabbit, or a warm little sun. Whether it's a dominant top, a dominant bottom, or mutual top/bottom, I firmly believe that either one of them will go crazy, or both of them will go crazy together. So seeing Su Li's inner thoughts was a pleasant surprise. It was so real, so real that I could only empathize but not actually relate. Just imagining that scene made me cringe, cringe, and cringe again! Although the main reason I included this book on my reading list was because of Su Li's heartfelt descriptions, what touched me most was the depiction of family relationships. As someone who recently gave birth to my third child, I was truly filled with emotion. I personally believe that there is no such thing as fairness in a family, only conscience, bottom line, and gratitude. Turning off my omniscient perspective, I can understand Su Li's parents, but I despise Cheng Cheng's parents. I support Cheng Cheng's mother's divorce, even if she cheated on her husband, I could say she deserved to be a cuckold, but I still despise her. Is it that she can't live without a man? Does she have to remarry and live at the mercy of another man? Whether you marry with your children or leave them behind, it's all too selfish. As for Chengcheng's father, I have only one thought: he should spend the rest of his life in jail. Domestic violence, abandonment, and school bullying should be punished by imprisonment. Escaping won't change reality, and enduring fear and yielding won't evoke pity from the bullies. Fortunately, Chengcheng had Su Li, which made him understand that resistance is not scary, nor is facing it difficult. Fortunately, Su Li has Cheng Cheng; in this vast world, you are the only one.

    I read *Stealing the Wind, Not the Moon* first, then this *Mind's Eye*. The two books have completely different writing styles. If the first one is about the delicate or wild love between adults, then this one is like a plum gradually ripening, going from sour to slightly sweet, and finally just soft and sweet. The opening is a short flashback, and actually, I didn't realize it was a flashback when I first read the second chapter. Sixteen or seventeen, and in their early twenties, should be the most carefree and youthful time, but for Qiao Wanlin and Liang Cheng, this age is so heavy. The name Qiao Wanlin was originally a combination of her parents' surnames and the place where they first met, a name with great commemorative significance. However, in the end, even basic maternal love was a luxury she could not hope for, and her father was always strict. A phone call from the rooftop of Wanping Lane speaks volumes about the unspeakable longing! My mother is always "busy now," "you have to be good," and "how is your father taking care of you?" Although I voluntarily relinquished custody, I don't believe the emotional bond between a mother and child can be solidified by a mere court judgment. I met Ms. Lin again at the ocean-themed amusement park. What I saw was a mother who had never cared for or cherished me, yet showered her remarried child with affection. She couldn't even bring herself to touch her eldest son, whose nickname is Kang Kang, because the child from her second marriage was acting out. Was this out of lingering fear, or disdain for Wan Lin's perceived shortcomings? As a mother myself, I really can't stand Ms. Lin, even though she's a successful person. She's a good mother to her children from her second marriage, but she's even worse to her eldest son than to Aunt He, whom her father later married. It's so ironic that maternal love comes not from her biological mother but from her stepmother. Yet, despite this upbringing, Wan Lin's life was still considered happy and fulfilling compared to Liang Cheng's. It's fair to say that things can only get worse. But if we're talking about bad things, they've both achieved unparalleled success in their respective fields. It's more accurate to say their character is terrible, or perhaps they're incredibly selfish, willing to abandon their newborn child for their own sake. I don't know whether to say Liang Cheng's mother is awful or his father is worse. The sins they committed have to be borne by Liang Cheng. If he found out he was pregnant after breaking up, he could have chosen not to have the baby, but since he did, why didn't he raise it? He was abandoned just two days after birth. How could such a brilliant and outstanding student do such a thing? The whole family are traitors. Both Ms. Liang and Ms. Lin are infuriating to behold; no matter how successful they are, they are failures. I'm so grateful to have Aunt He. Whether as a stepmother or adoptive mother, her love was genuine, and she reciprocated with the same sincerity. It's said that maternal love is irreplaceable, but here, the maternal love came entirely from a woman with whom I have no blood relation. So fate is truly wondrous. The young man, innocent and naive, tasted the sweetness of love for the first time. That relationship, which ended before it even began, was unexpectedly rekindled because of his father's and adoptive mother's remarriage. Actually, after seeing this, I personally think that the most important person in their family is Aunt He. Because of her, Mr. Qiao truly learned how to be a good father! Because of her, Wanlin experienced what true maternal love is! Because of her, Liang Cheng, though in deep sorrow, still had something to hold onto! A mother's love is like a tree, like light! A mother's love is as vast as the sea and as boundless as the sky.

    I'm not sure if I should label this book as a tragic story. It's been a long time since I've experienced such a bittersweet feeling while reading a book. The tears I had held back finally burst forth during the last letter. I'm so glad, so very glad, that I stopped following the serialization. I can't imagine if those who followed the serialization back then were also moved by this letter. How many people were heartbroken while waiting for the four-month-long epilogue to finally be released? This is a magical book. It made me seriously examine the term "love-obsessed" for the first time. It turns out that the love-obsessed people I had seen before were so normal in front of Fifteen and his god. After this book, I don't know who else can rival them in their obsession with love. This is a truly bizarre book. Despite its overly romantic premise, it manages to leave you feeling bittersweet throughout, with not a single chapter offering any genuinely relaxing or joyful moments. Love should be sweet, especially the love between two people so obsessed with romance! Yet, even with this premise, their love is so heartbreaking and painful. I always subconsciously associate books written by Manman with online games and e-sports. It wasn't until today that I realized that Lingxiao was also written by Manman. This book, Spirit Master, feels disconnected from the last book by Manman that I read. They are just too different. Even though each book has a common trait among the male leads, here Fifteen showcases it to the fullest extent, to the point that it feels excessive and over the top. Fifteen, please stop thinking like that. How could you hate and despise yourself to that extent? You think your god hates you so much, but actually, he loves you just as much! You searched for him for eleven years, and he searched for you for twenty! You found your god in the eleventh year, but your god still missed you at the last moment before disappearing. He was just a hair's breadth away from finding you. At first glance, I naively thought it was about how you two loved each other and broke up, and the other person was unwilling to accept it, leading to a heartbreaking reconciliation. I'm sorry, I was wrong. So it turns out that "can't bear it" means physically unable to bear it. I never thought these three words could be so heartbreaking. So it turns out that "chase" in "even after goodbye, I still want to chase after you" has this kind of meaning. In the same situation, Shiwu endured it for less than three years, while Suci endured it for a full twenty years. [Su Ci has not forgotten her promise. Su Ci has been searching for Shiwu, and has not forgotten you for a single day. Su Ci will always love Shiwu. Su Ci will always love Chi Zheng.] [Su Ci, Fifteen is looking for you. Fifteen hasn't forgotten you, she's been searching for you. Fifteen loved you, and she will always love you. Fifteen loves you, and Chi Zheng loves you too. In these lifetimes, from beginning to end, it's only you.] Fifteen said that Su Ci liked him, how could he like him? I thought it was irony, but it turns out it wasn't irony directed at Su Ci, but at himself. It turns out that "Fifteen" meant he didn't deserve to be liked. Chi Zheng repeatedly said he wanted to be Qian Tu's dog, but it turned out that it was only because dogs could wait for their masters to return. Chi Zheng said he was now a dog with an owner; he was no longer a stray dog ​​without a master. Chi Zheng told me to pursue you while I'm in a relationship. He wants me to be good to you, because there are so many wonderful things in the world, and he wants Su Ci to experience them all.

    I rarely read fanfiction now; in the last thirteen years, I've only read this one Lu Bu fanfiction. The only Lu Bu fanfiction I've read before was one written by a female author called "Military General," and I don't remember the author or title of the one about Xiang Yu, only that it was a story about Xiang Yu traveling to the modern era, something like a science-themed, no-romance story? I haven't read the complete Romance of the Three Kingdoms. My understanding of them comes entirely from Lu Bu and Diao Chan, Farewell My Concubine, and a certain video compilation that portrayed the pinnacle of all combat power. So I'm not sure if the characters in this book are flawed or not; I'm only strongly recommending it because it's incredibly well-written. It's a must-read whether you read it as fan fiction or original content. Lu Bu is still the Lu Bu I remember, but Xiang Yu is not entirely the Xiang Yu I remember. I really didn't expect Xiang Yu to be like this, but thinking about it carefully, it seems that's how it is. Combat power and emotional intelligence are inversely proportional. Actually, I hadn't read the synopsis of this book, so I didn't know at first that the main characters were Lü Bu and Xiang Yu. I was surprised when I saw that Lü Bu was the one who killed Prince Ziying of Qin with a single sword strike. So the handsome guy described earlier was Lü Bu! Then I went back and reread the descriptions of Lü Bu, and yes, he was still very handsome and domineering! I must say, that clean and decisive sword strike followed by a quick retreat, leaving not a drop of blood on his face, was incredibly cool. All that careful planning and meticulous confirmation before taking action, all for the sake of a pledge of allegiance—so typical of Lu Bu. Thankfully, he didn't resort to any drastic measures in the end, otherwise, you really were planning to become Xiang Yu's adoptive father! Basic tactic, right?! Thank goodness Xiang Yu was only in his early twenties! [Just kidding!] To my shame, because I don't know much about Lü Bu's death, and I don't know what Liu Bei said that led to Lü Bu's tragic death at White Gate Tower, I specifically went to Bilibili to look up the answer. (If only I had read more books back then, I wouldn't be so useless [facepalm].) The Xiang Yu in this story has double pupils. I used to think double pupils were ugly. The first time I saw double pupils was in a horror movie. I was young then and didn't remember much of the plot. I only remember the two pupils that were revealed when the girl came down from the sky at the end. So when I first saw Xiang Yu with double pupils, that was the look that came to mind. It was a bit eerie. Later, I searched for double pupils on Bilibili. To be honest, it was not only not scary, but even more scary. It wasn't until I saw a picture of extremely wild golden double pupils and Xiaomeng's double pupil makeup that I felt the beauty and mystery of double pupils. I don't know much about Xiang Yu's character, but to put it simply, he was stubborn, ambitious, nepotistic, and fond of massacring cities. Although the Xiang Yu in the book also has these problems, it's quite different from what I previously knew. Perhaps it's because of Lü Bu that this Xiang Yu is so charismatic? Who would have thought that Lü Bu would one day become a strategist! I wonder what Chen Gong and Gao Shun would think if they knew this in the afterlife? Now, in the Chu camp, he is revered by the ministers as a man of great strategy and wisdom, which can be considered a case of "a great teacher produces a great student." Of course, Lü Bu is more suited to martial arts remonstrances than these. From fighting to romance, they are truly a perfect match.

    Main attacker/Rogue attacker Friendly reminder: Three points in the first five chapters that are likely to provoke conflict: First, the Liu Zhan family received ten acres of fertile land ready for harvest, and the original tenants were pitifully taken away, etc. Even though the author commented in the comments section that it was public land, and the county magistrate didn't need to explain his allocation to the employers, it was all in vain. (This reminds me of when I was laid off by the company years ago; I received triple pay and left promptly, even though they initially tried to embarrass me and make me quit.) Second, there are three women in the family. The mother, who prepares all three meals a day, also works in the fields and on the mountain. She is from a respectable family and her status is no less than that of her two aunts. Liu Zhan is disgusted by the fact that, with them nearly starving, the other two aunts do no farm work and are like useless trash, offering no help whatsoever, only lamenting their misfortunes and aches and pains, even though one of them has just lost a child. Another description is that when someone loses a fight, it's always the women who complain. (Actually, there's nothing to argue about. There are plenty of descriptions of men as scoundrels and scumbags, and you don't see any arguments about it being an insult to men. In recent years, even slightly negative female terms are easily interpreted as insults to women. I don't know when men and women became so antagonistic and irreconcilable.) Thirdly, Liu Zhan, after retiring from the military, mingled in both the legitimate and criminal worlds, claiming to be embodying all vices. One group believes that not all soldiers are virtuous and upright, and not all veterans become reckless and unscrupulous, but some certainly are. Another group believes the author is tarnishing the image of soldiers. (I personally lean towards the first view, because I know someone like this who is repulsive, although he's not a soldier but a fire chief.) If the above is acceptable, then there are basically no problems. (There's one more point that I think is optional: Liu Zhan has very obvious characteristics of a typical male protagonist from a web novel platform. I personally don't feel it strongly, but quite a few people in the comments section have expressed similar opinions.) This book vividly portrays the essence of human nature. Emperor Liang, who usurped the throne, acted with none of the qualities of a ruler. In contrast to the previous dynasties, the late Chu period actually had many commendable aspects. As for the ministers, there was Zhou Chan before them, and Liu Bang after them; it can only be said that there is no limit to how bad they can get. They are practically Qin Hui reincarnated—selfish, greedy, insanely vengeful, and utterly inhuman. It is said that when a country is about to perish, there will be monsters appearing; this is exactly what happened. Foreign invasions brought burning, killing, and looting; every city conquered was slaughtered. Even as the nation teetered on the brink of collapse, their thoughts were always focused on using the opportunity to eliminate their enemies. The lives of the people in one city or ten cities were less important than their own selfish desires. Seeing Liu Zhan finally send his troops south, I felt a sense of triumph. It's rare to see a book that depicts the battlefield so grandly and inspiringly; the most recent one was "Late Ming Dynasty" from Qidian more than a decade ago. What's even more remarkable is that, unlike other time travelers who follow the crowd and manufacture glass, soap, cannons, and guns, this book doesn't feature many cheat abilities. In fact, Liu Zhan's only cheat ability is Feng Lin. Throughout the entire text, whether it is evil, good, loyalty, or treachery, there are many noteworthy aspects, and even a single passerby who only appears briefly is vivid and three-dimensional. Even though it has some minor shortcomings, its merits outweigh its flaws. Looking forward to more excellent works from the author.

    I recently had to write long reviews for book recommendations without reading any titles. I just finished one today and it was my turn to write about "Blue-haired Son." I'd been reading this book for a while and wanted to check the table of contents to get a feel for it. I prefer writing long reviews on my computer, and then I was shocked by the comments section. I didn't know what had happened; it was a scene of utter carnage. Fifteen years later, I'm seeing a comment section being slaughtered on Jinjiang Literature City again. It immediately reminded me of fifteen years ago when my mistake caused my friend's comments section to be slaughtered on Zonghengdao, Xiaoyao, and Jinjiang Literature City. After that incident, I left the "Rat and Cat" fandom, groups, and forums, never daring to re-enter that circle, only daring to be a fan myself. Thinking back on it still sends shivers down my spine. Although I don't understand the whole story, I've managed to glean some information from the comments section. I won't offer my opinion because I genuinely don't know; after all, everyone has their own beliefs. For me, whether the house has collapsed or it's a mess, things are still not settled. And even if they are settled, it won't affect me. I just need to know that reading this book made me happy and joyful. I rarely play games; to date, I've only played the PC games Shumen and JX3, and the mobile game Honor of Kings. I played Shumen for a year after its open beta, JX3 until the end of the 95 era, and I haven't played Honor of Kings for three or four years. It feels like ages ago. I haven't watched esports competitions, so I don't know the intricacies involved. I first encountered this kind of writing over a decade ago when I accidentally read "Killing Romance," which reminded me of the game I played. That's when I realized games could be written about. From online games to Chinese Paladin 4 fanfiction, to JX3, and now to esports novels in recent years. I don't remember which was the first e-sports novel I read, because I've never played LoL, so I always imagined it as a game like Arena of Valor. My first impression of e-sports novels was that they were amazing. The biggest difference between e-sports, online games, and fan fiction is the passion, excitement, and the tendency to get nervous and impulsive during matches. I don't watch live streams, so I don't know if many streamers of competitive games are like Lanmao, habitually using foul language. Forgive me for being old-fashioned; the only voice chat software I know for games is YY, and I haven't even downloaded Douyin. Sometimes I really feel like I'm out of touch with the times. So to be honest, when I first watched esports, I found it really novel. Although I knew about seasons, I didn't know much about the matches each season. In the past, when I occasionally opened King of Glory, I would see match notifications on the interface. At that time, I just felt that the people playing the matches on the interface looked like minors, not like they had been beaten up by society. Later, after reading the article, I learned that the professional career of an esports player is only a few short years. There were many other things I learned from the article, such as their high salaries, the need for them to maintain a public image like celebrities, and how seemingly fun games can be incredibly tedious during their training. Thinking about it, it makes sense; there aren't that many people born to be esports players. It's all about grinding away at the computer day after day. They were all young and impetuous, still green with envy, but I really envied their spirited and radiant demeanor during the competition. It was something I had never experienced, and although I didn't understand it, I longed for it.

    Huai Da's works need no introduction; every book is a masterpiece. I got into Huai Da's fandom with that Bleach fanfic, then two of his other works, like "Lantern Yang Jiu," and slowly read through them one by one. Now, so many years later, many of his works are no longer available on Jinjiang Literature City. Fortunately, back then I liked to download TXT files. I downloaded works by authors like Yi Renbei, Gongzi Huanxi, He Han, Huai Shang, Fei Tian Ye Xiang, Rui Zhe, Su Hen, Zhi Er, Yue Xia Sang, Da Feng, and many more. Some of these authors have changed their pen names, and some have stopped writing altogether. Luckily, I downloaded most of the works by well-known veteran authors back then. I truly admire authors who have been creating consistently for over a decade, and it is especially rare to find authors whose works are all masterpieces. I followed the serialization of "The Undying" back then, and it can be said to be my introduction to ABO. I remember being shocked by this setting back then, and I was actually confused for a while. I didn't know there was such a thing! I've read a lot of male-male pregnancy stories, and I even know an author who specializes in writing pregnancy stories, but ABO was the first time I had ever seen it, well, not counting what I'd heard of. It's a post-apocalyptic story, specifically a classic zombie novel. The first zombie novel I ever read was *Sangshi* (I don't know if it's the original, but it's a long time ago). It was after reading that I fell in love with the genre. There are many post-apocalyptic novels, but very few are truly exceptional. Excluding recent ones, the only ones that really stand out in my opinion are *Sangshi*, *Wuji*, *Jingyu*, and a side story set in a cultivation world, followed by this one, *The Undying*. Unlike other post-apocalyptic novels, the most striking aspect of "The Undying" for me is its organization. Many post-apocalyptic novels eliminate the army from the start to avoid crossing certain lines. While the story remains engaging, it always feels like something is missing, and I found that missing element in "The Undying." While individual heroes are certainly admirable, organized and disciplined soldiers inspire even greater fervor. Their teamwork and sense of mission provide a greater sense of security than individual heroism. Even if they do nothing, their uniforms alone are reassuring. Whether it's Chief Tang, who initially appears as a villainous cannon fodder, the handsome and lucky Yan Hao, the mascot Xiao Guo, the aptly named Ying Jie, or the regrettable Ning Yu, every character is portrayed vividly and realistically. The post-apocalyptic theme is undoubtedly heavy; death becomes commonplace, survival a luxury, and everyone struggles to stay alive. Aside from the lone wolf Si Xiaonan, whose combat prowess is undeniable, one could even say he could thrive alone in this apocalyptic world. In a team versus an individual, no matter how strong one's individual abilities are, what one can accomplish is very limited. Similarly, each member of the same team, even when on a mission, is an undeniably strong individual, but when they come together, their strength is not simply the sum of its parts, but exponential. They obey orders without question, and even knowing that the road ahead is fraught with certain death, they will forge ahead fearlessly. One of my favorite settings in this book is the nation. It's not that other post-apocalyptic novels involve the destruction of a nation, but rather that in this book, as long as the nation exists, the rescue efforts will continue indefinitely. If there truly is an end of the world, the nation is there, the military is there, and we will never despair.

    Curator note

    Gu Lie spent his life on the battlefield; he was born with the qualities of an emperor. Nearly eighty years old, Gu Lie personally led an expedition but was betrayed by the crown prince of Zhongshan. In Gu Lie's own words, he had lived a life without shame before heaven and earth, retiring after achieving his goals. His only regret was Di Qiye. Gu Lie's tomb was set up at the General's Platform in Qinzhou, and he was buried in the same coffin as Di Qiye. On my first viewing, I thought they were a tragic love story of unrequited love. Di Qiye died at the age of twenty-eight, before reaching the age of thirty, which can be described as heaven being jealous of his talent. After reading just the first chapter, I had already imagined a whole host of romantic entanglements between them, especially after Di Qiye said he would be alone for the next forty years. I genuinely believed they were a loving couple, ruler and subject, in their first life. It wasn't until they were reborn that I realized it wasn't as simple as I had imagined. Finally, I can sleep forever and never wake up. But who will wake up to share the peaches? Fifty years of diligent governance, only to wake up one day and return to nothing. Back then, armored warriors could move emperors; no wonder the King of Chu had no wife! Hey~ In his past life, he didn't have a wife because of his own abilities (not counting that 'noble lady' who loved to cultivate a vast green grassland for her husband), so in this life, he'll spoil her from beginning to end. Who says that not being perceptive doesn't count as being in love? I think this ruler and his subject are doing quite well even if they haven't figured out love yet [facepalm]. There were many misunderstandings in their past lives, but to say that Lao Gu distrusted Xiao Ye was not entirely true. I personally think that Xiao Ye's personality was 70% the problem, and Lao Gu's straight-male thinking was 30%. Of course, I'm not saying that Xiao Ye's personality was bad, but rather that Xiao Ye was too ahead of her time, far ahead of our 21st century. Actually, I haven't read the book about Ono's worldview yet; I can only glean some information about that world from snippets in this book and the side stories. Ono said he was a defective product in his world. Really, considering the level Ono himself reached and his final status, it's safe to say that Ono was truly, truly powerful. His way of thinking is completely different from ours and Lao Gu's. It's not that he can't see through the scheming methods of those few people jumping around happily; it's just that he is so powerful that he doesn't bother to explain or prove anything. This is why I believe his personality played a 70% role in the final outcome between him and Lao Gu; the broken heart dagger explained everything. Old Gu, that clueless straight man, was deeply in love without realizing it. If he hadn't been given a second chance to explore Xiao Ye's past and unravel the mystery in her heart, even if they had another chance, it would still be unknown whether they could have ended up together. It's all because Ono was rumored to be involved on her very first night at the camp. Everyone says that debunking rumors is exhausting, but Ono never does. In his previous life, Xiao Ye had no idea how the rumors had spread about him. Even so, Lao Gu still protected Xiao Ye in his own way. It is said that paranoia is a common disease of every emperor, but even when Lao Gu had doubts, he thought of protecting him rather than eliminating him. He was a qualified and excellent emperor. But such a successful emperor had such a tragic past; the extermination of his entire clan was just the beginning. It's truly hard to imagine that Old Gu, who grew up in such a malicious educational environment, could still remain true to himself; his heart must have been incredibly steadfast and strong. Ono said that Di Qiye's life was dedicated to you. In Old Gu's dream, filled with mountains of corpses and seas of blood, the final destination is Di Qiye. A vow of life and death, an unforgettable love.

    Curator note

    I've only read one book with the premise of two versions of myself existing in the past, which I currently consider the pinnacle of the genre. And this is the only book that explores the theme of traveling back in time to adopt one's own past self. Actually, I didn't read carefully the first time, and my first impression of Jiang Wang was that of a thug. It wasn't until later that I realized he was a powerful figure. There weren't any passages in the opening that caused my misunderstanding, and I don't know why I assumed Jiang Wang was a thug. I'm truly sorry! My most immediate impression of the entire article is that you can't judge a book by its cover, and you shouldn't jump to conclusions. This applies to many people, such as the homeroom teacher, Ms. Ji, and even Mr. Jiang, who has already been labeled a scoundrel! I think this is one of the charms of the article—the diversity of human nature! I really envy Jiang Wangneng for being able to go back in time to adopt and treat himself well! Even though he has already experienced hardship, his past self hadn't really started at that age. Although Jiang's father was visibly repulsive, at least it hadn't reached the worst point yet, and everything was still possible. The adoption was arguably a semi-coercive, albeit somewhat haphazard, process, but no one expected it to go so smoothly. It's hard to say whether Father Jiang subconsciously wanted his son, already wearing a new school uniform, to have an even better life, or was simply a case of bullying the weak and fearing the strong. Considering what happens later, it's probably more of the former, but who can really say for sure about Father Jiang at this point? He wasn't completely rotten, but he was pretty much. When he saw Teacher Ji, his subconscious reaction was that they had a lot of intersections in Jiang Wang's timeline, but it turned out that their connection was only for a few short years in elementary school, and he didn't even know Teacher Ji's name. The old coat described at the beginning has such a story behind it! It has to be said that Jiang Wang is really loyal. Perhaps because he has never been happy since childhood and no one has ever been truly kind to him, Teacher Ji's kindness and goodwill seem all the more precious. In Jiang Wang's memory, Teacher Ji's life was not easy either. He lived in this small town for decades, day in and day out, with no interest in life. He was the complete opposite of Teacher Ji now. This time, going back in time not only saved his younger self, but also the vibrant and youthful Teacher Ji. It's hard to imagine that Teacher Ji's personality was so vivid during their interactions! Completely different from the teacher image Jiang Wang had in mind—more distinct and energetic! So seeing the homeroom teacher say to Ms. Ji, "You should have left long ago," was really shocking. It made me realize that Ms. Ji's ending, where she didn't leave in her previous life, and that my homeroom teacher, whom I always thought was harsh, strict, and unapproachable, actually understood things better than anyone else. The text doesn't focus much on the homeroom teacher, but she was the first character I felt I couldn't jump to conclusions about; I was deeply moved when I read the story. The second was Ji's mother. I don't think anyone could like Ji's mother when she first appeared, but this very same Ji's mother, who was initially disliked, had such a stark contrast in personality. No mother truly hates her child, regardless of whether that child is her pride or not. In Teacher Ji's previous life, the incident involving her mother accounted for 70% of the reasons for her being trapped in a cycle of suffering. A coat, a blessing! One new, one old, this time there are no regrets, only happiness!

    Lu Mingtang: I am an old tree, scarred and growing from the mud; a phoenix cannot dwell on such a tree. We are worlds apart. Ye Li: We are about to traverse billions of stars, let alone this mere three thousand meters? I will yearn for you as I yearn for the stars. So, Mr. Lu Mingtang, will you accept this ring? Friendly reminder: This story is not suitable for those who cannot accept names that are similar to others or who really like Captain Yu Sui. (Personally, I just feel uncomfortable, not to the point of being unable to accept it, because what that scumbag did was truly disgusting.) The story is melodramatic and somewhat cliché, so please read with a calm and patient mind. The protagonist (gong) turns into a dog at the beginning, and you might feel that the other protagonist (shou) is a saint in chapters 4-5. The reason will be explained in later chapters; he is not a saint. At first, I thought Lu Mingtang was the seme (dominant partner), not the uke (submissive partner), purely because of the name. Even later, I subconsciously kept thinking Ye Li was the uke. I kept assuming Ye Li was Lu Mingtang, and Lu Mingtang was Ye Li. [Awkwardly wiping sweat] I haven't actually read many stories about transmigrating into animals. The only one I've read was about someone who transmigrated into a wolf and never turned back into a human, excluding beastman stories. This story is quite novel. The time travel doesn't happen out of nowhere. Later on, the story even explains the reason for the time travel using science (not the science of our real world, at least we don't have that technology yet, right?). Because the title is "Soap Opera," it's all about those two words. Although I don't understand why there are so many complaints in the comments section about how soap opera-like some of the plots are. [Black guy with a question mark] I thought to myself, isn't this just natural? The opening scene is set in an urban village, and perhaps in an attempt to emphasize the melodramatic aspect, it feels a bit overdone. I don't deny that the world is full of wonders, especially people; regardless of good or bad, everyone says that a small favor is appreciated, but excessive kindness breeds resentment. Although I know Lu Mingtang isn't a saint, I still subconsciously frowned upon first reading, and could only console myself that Lu Mingtang is a model of filial piety. From the first few chapters when Ye Li transmigrated, we could already guess some of his personality traits: intelligent, innocent, guileless, and with negative emotional intelligence. To clarify, "simple" here doesn't refer to the naivety of a pure, innocent person, but rather the simplicity of his inner world. Before he understood his own feelings, his world consisted solely of scientific research. After understanding his own heart, his life revolved equally between research and his career, with nothing else—nothing like social skills or emotional intelligence. I think no one would not envy Ye Li's naiveté. Thanks to his family, he only needs to do what he wants, and nothing or no one can force him to do anything else unless he wants to. I rarely see a protagonist with such distinct strengths and weaknesses. Ye Li's actions after returning to her original form would be misunderstood by any normal person. So don't ask why Lu Mingtang said he would withdraw in time after getting what he wanted. Ye Li really makes people feel insecure. Some say their marriage and divorce were just for the sake of torment, but I think it's perfectly normal for them to divorce. Mingtang can't afford to lose.

    This is a very three-dimensional story. My first thought when I read it was not to judge the characters based on my own first impressions, and not to use my preconceived notions to view the supporting characters. For example, the emperor, the four Confucian scholars, or the handsome Su, or even the monk who only appeared in a few chapters... My personal feelings about the emperor in this article are quite complex. He was undoubtedly a competent ruler, but at the same time, he was also someone who made me feel quite disgusted. He embodies the traits of several emperors throughout history, and I don't know if this feeling is unique to me or shared by many. He was an emperor who had mastered the art of ruling to perfection. If he had been a great and righteous person, it would have been another golden age, and his country would have been an extremely prosperous and powerful nation. But unfortunately, that's just a hypothetical. That night, seven great Confucian scholars sacrificed their lives to uphold the great principles of the Way, and countless others, whose names remain unknown, perished as well. They were loyal to the country and the court, each a pillar of the nation. Yet, this was merely a scheme orchestrated by their emperor over twenty years. I don't know if this turning point in the whole story is the most tearful moment. "Tang Shen". "Gentlemen?" "Go now!" "Okay!" "A gentleman who lacks dignity will not command respect, and his learning will not be solid. I would like to give you a courtesy name." … "Let's call him Jingze." Fifteen-year-old Tang Jingze lost his innocence and naivety after that night. Don't confine yourself to one mountain. Climb to the top and see the grand view. These words, that scene, have remained vivid in my memory since I first read the text. Wang Zifeng was Tang Jingze's mentor in both officialdom and love. Liang Daru was his mentor in both knowledge and life. A wrongful conviction from over twenty years ago was repeated by Emperor Zhao more than thirty years later, all for his own selfish gain. The Left Chancellor understood Emperor Zhao best; he possessed the integrity of a scholar, knowingly doing the impossible. That palace coup rewrote the predetermined ending. Or rather, anyone who understood could have rewritten it, but only the Left Chancellor did. Emperor Zhao hated him, whether for saving his son or for the fact that no one had saved him from being caught in the trap. He said Zhao Jing and Zhao Ji were like Zhao Xuan, but he was never Zhao Shang. A chilling self-description. The Left Prime Minister understands him best, but he is not the one who understands him most clearly. I consider the two confrontations between the emperor and his ministers to be the most brilliant highlights of the entire text. One example is the confrontation between the Left Chancellor and Emperor Zhao. The other scene is between Tang Jingze and Emperor Zhao. Tang Jing is the protagonist of this story, yet he is not the main character. It can only be said that the author's writing is truly superb; as mentioned earlier, every character in the story is vividly portrayed. Each one is so three-dimensional. Like a former crown prince who never officially appeared but only lived in the memories of others, his words, "Who in the world doesn't like Zhao Xuan?" Summed up everything. We can only judge Emperor Zhao by his actions, not his intentions. He was a qualified and excellent emperor, but that's all. The Left Chancellor said, "Who in the world doesn't like Zhao Xuan?" Tang Jingze said, "I do not know Zhao Xuan, I only know the Kaiping Emperor of my Great Song Dynasty." I will bring peace to the land and tranquility to the world; a thousand years will pass in an instant, and I will sing to the heavens! The mountains and rivers never sleep.

    Curator note

    This is a story about intersex pregnancy with infrastructure as the main focus. The genre is labeled "Male Lead" rather than "Female Lead," so strictly speaking, this is a male-centric novel. The male lead appears quite late in the book; aside from his brief first appearance, he officially appears just over halfway through the story. I read this book as if it had no romantic pairing, which is why it's the only book on my reading list that I subscribed to but didn't finish. I happened to stop around chapter 20 when the male lead officially appears, and then skipped to the side stories. Here's a point to note: although the male lead appears late, his actions are incredibly fast (not by choice); he's already practically nameless at 170cm. Yes, practically nameless, so it's not that the male lead is particularly charming, but rather that it all depends on whether the protagonist wants to be. Friendly reminder: The protagonist has a classic harem constitution; getting caught in the rain inevitably leads to illness, seeking pleasure inevitably results in pregnancy, and all men want to sleep with him—these are basic tropes, so you can imagine a disastrous start. However, all of the protagonist's achievements are based on strength, not beauty; he possesses great wisdom, making him a truly deserving male lead. As for the male lead, based on the few chapters I've read since his introduction, I suspect that even if he rises to the top, it's not because he's outstanding enough to stand shoulder-to-shoulder with the protagonist. Since I haven't read the entire story, I won't offer much commentary; my understanding of the male lead comes entirely from those twenty-odd chapters and the side stories. Finally, I think the comment from a fellow reader in the article, "Healthy relationships are very important," is very insightful and to the point; I give it a thumbs up. The protagonist is a well-known content creator on a certain platform known for his penchant for criminal investigations. This is also the first time I've seen a story about hand-crafting a revolver, although I've seen stories about crafting aircraft carriers and Gatling guns on Bilibili before. Even so, seeing the "Truth" weapon emerge still shocked me. Suddenly, I realized that crafting soap was just as commonplace and mainstream as everyone says. To be honest, I was drawn to this book by its cover, so I didn't initially know it was a historical novel set in the Northern and Southern Dynasties. Because my literary skills are terrible—I'm a complete academic failure—I usually treat historical fiction as original content, so I don't know the exact accuracy of the scientific facts presented. I just think the author and the experts in the comments section are incredibly talented! Although I don't understand it, I feel it's impressive. The protagonist who transmigrated was a child who was not even ten years old. At first, I didn't take the author's hint that the protagonist was a troublemaker to heart. It wasn't until the first person who was troubled died with resentment that I began to understand the value and lethality of the words "troublemaker". Being young and having delicate features makes it even easier for them to cause trouble. Although I'm practically illiterate, I at least know that the Northern and Southern Dynasties were incredibly chaotic—the court was in disarray, war raged, and the people suffered terribly. The protagonist transmigrated into the royal family, and his eventual ascension to the throne and unification of the North and South was predictable. However, to be honest, the process by which he ascended to the throne of Southern Qi was completely unexpected. Is it true that all powerful people can make everything simple and effortless? In the early part of the story, the protagonist rubbed a handful of Truth with his hands, which he always wore as an ornament on his waist. I had also speculated about who would be the first person in history to enjoy Truth, until that person actually appeared. My feelings at that time were the same as the protagonist's. That cruel joke of fate—it's better not to read this book at all.

    Excerpt of a thousand words from that year's long review: A Clear Mind and the Right Path—A Record of Zi Qingyunlie An ancient saying goes: "Everyone in the world is drunk, but I alone am sober." Living in the world, yet maintaining a pure heart, undisturbed by disturbances, like a lotus emerging from the mud unsullied. The disciples of the Five Mausoleums Mountain Domain are few, less than twenty. The Domain Lord's actions in protecting the disciples of the mountain domain demonstrate his magnanimity. On the stone pillar, the two sides confront each other, regardless of life or death. How many cultivators have perished in these duels, and how many have lost their minds and become addicted to them? Ziqing and Yunlie could see all of this in their first battle: they cursed and swore in front of the enemy, just like ordinary people arguing in the street, showing their crudeness. If they were to take off their magic robes, where would they be as cultivators? On the other side of the battle, Yun Lie, unlike Zi Qing who lacked practical experience, was the strongest among sword cultivators of the same realm. He had fought against opponents of higher levels more than once, and the outcome of this duel was no longer in doubt. Victory should not bring arrogance, nor defeat should bring discouragement. As Ziqing said: The Great Way endures; we should remain steadfast in our principles, refine ourselves, and never stray from it. What is there to fear in a contest? Since Ziqing and Yunlie became Daoist partners, their behavior has changed drastically. The tenderness they show when looking at each other and the tacit understanding when holding hands are delightful to behold. Just like in our wedding night, we were all shouting and screaming with excitement, but when we actually looked at each other, we blushed and dared not look directly at each other. Having read countless novels over the years, I've rarely encountered one that's unsuitable for depicting tender scenes. Yi Yi's "Cultivation" is one of the most challenging of them all. Everyone says that scenes and fights are difficult to write, but I feel that the dual cultivation between Zi Qing and her senior brother is even more so than the fight scenes. Any more would be too erotic, and any less would be too artificial. It's unpretentious and unforced, flowing naturally throughout the text. The thought and effort put into writing it are evident. As Yi Yi said, it's not that she didn't want to write it, but rather that the time wasn't right. Seeing another side of Ziqing on the ice plains was truly astonishing. I had only known Ziqing to be gentle and mild-mannered, and if it weren't for Yiyi's deliberate description of this part, I would have forgotten that Ziqing always wore blue clothes. Amidst the wind and snow, a splash of crimson blazed like a wildfire, yet remained as still as a snow-covered mountain, its gentle aura unlike the biting cold of ice, perfectly complementing Yun Lie's black attire. This scene defied description; even imagining it was breathtaking. I've always known that Ziqing is different. Perhaps he can't compare to Yun Lie's domineering nature, but he should be a formidable opponent in the same realm. Only now do I realize the true difference between Ziqing and ordinary Golden Core cultivators, and I also know how extraordinary Rong Jin is. Perhaps it was because he had always been in a sorry state when he fought against Zi Qing before, but today, seeing Zi Qing unleash his power, he felt a tremor in his body. He was truly domineering beyond words. Also stunned on the spot was Feng Qi, who was also a Golden Core cultivator. Truly, when they did act, it was astonishing. It was as if I could see a group of people's jaws dropping to the ground, their petrified, cracked jaws slowly dissipating in the wind. Ziqing governs life, Yunlie governs death; life and death have been irreconcilable since ancient times. Indeed. Yin and Yang cycle, there is life and death, and there is death and life, which is how life continues endlessly. With a clear and pure mind, one can open the Purple Palace, follow the righteous path, and after a hundred years of pursuit, finally stand shoulder to shoulder with Yun Lie. Even if the path to immortality is fraught with peril, fraught with unpredictable changes and hidden dangers, as long as we join hands, what is there to fear? Fearless.

    Curator note

    Friendly reminder 1: The two main characters are not normal humans, so don't have too many expectations of their values. This is a rare and excellent post-apocalyptic story, so don't miss it. Friendly reminder 2: There's a point of contention in the first three chapters that I personally find insignificant: [sexism]. Honestly, I still find it baffling. When did men and women become so antagonistic? Is it really that serious? It was clearly the men who started the trouble, and there was even an even more disgusting male cannon fodder in the group, described in great detail. Many other male bystanders also died tragically, but some people seem to ignore this, focusing instead on the two girls who died horribly, writing extensively about them and accusing the author of sexism. I haven't seen anyone get upset or say it's discriminatory despite the various descriptions of men being scum and despicable! I just find it strange, when did we women become so unable to accept defeat? It's unbelievable. One of the most impressive things about this book is its unique style of typos. If "Not Knowing the Demon Lord's Goodness" is a gorgeous and erotic stream of consciousness, then this book is a homophonic stream of meaning that requires the brain to correct itself. Well, this is the only time so far that I've actually enjoyed reading an article with typos! Unfortunately, when it comes to the real battle, Six O'Clock Girl still comes out on top. Speaking of which, this is a novel that easily makes readers ship the wrong couples. Personally speaking, I think if you don't read the extras, the reversed pairing doesn't significantly affect the reading experience. Like another novel, "Turning the Boss Gay," which I personally find more exciting with mutual top/bottom pairings. Don't mind me, it's purely a personal preference! However, I don't really care about reversed pairings; it's all about finding a comfortable position [doge]. Ultimately, it comes down to Lin Yuan's overwhelming combat power. His very appearance exudes a sense of security, and after his massacre, his infectiousness skyrockets with a sinister and mysterious aura. In contrast, Xiao Wu is much more ordinary. He appears as a weak scholar, then turns out to be blind and powerless at night, and on top of that, he possesses a 'male concubine.' It's no wonder netizens are divided; the first impression is simply too deeply ingrained. At first, I thought Lin Yuan was the kind of person who was extremely aloof and arrogant, and I could say that the first third of his character was all about that kind of cool and aloof demeanor, until I saw Xiao Wu's true form! Well, what aloofness? He's clearly a lustful and superficial person obsessed with good looks. In stark contrast to his transformation before and after Lin Yuan, Xiao Wu remained consistent throughout, mysterious, powerful, yet possessing a childlike innocence. Because of his childlike ignorance, he was unaware of good and evil, acting solely on his whims. Similarly, she is like a blank sheet of paper when it comes to relationships, like a child. Before meeting Dandelion, her understanding in this area came entirely from Lin Yuan's 'tutelage', but after meeting Dandelion, well, I don't know how to describe it, I can only say that this aspect is a major highlight of the story. I haven't read many stories about bionic machines before, so this feels quite novel. Because they are not human, they lack human values ​​and beliefs; because they are not human, they have few attachments or worries. In the early stages, Lin Yuan was willing to scheme and plot at any cost for freedom, while Xiao Wu, due to his incomplete memories, had little interest beyond finding his original body. Initially, I thought the story was just about finding the original body, changing maps, and causing trouble; the later developments were truly unexpected!

    I'm not a fan of celebrities. The only celebrities I can immediately recall by name are Maggie Cheung, Brigitte Lin, Vincent Chiao, and my peers like Xiaolong and Cao Jun—people I've watched grow up. But that's only based on the movies and TV series they've acted in; my knowledge of the actors themselves is practically nonexistent. I only admire the characters, not the actors. I always keep these two distinctions very separate and never project my own feelings onto them. Therefore, I don't experience any emotions related to actors' career setbacks, marriages, or anything like that, because I don't pay attention to them. As for the new generation of actors and artists, even less is known! Speaking of which, I once saw a saying that people born in the 80s and 90s ate refined grains and bran, and couldn't get used to the simple food of today. Back then, there were countless beauties and dashing men. They were all unique and charming. Although I don't follow the entertainment industry, reading stories about it still feels novel. Actually, "Unexpected Mark" isn't the first entertainment industry novel I've read, but it is the first ABO (Answer-Boy) entertainment industry novel. My understanding of ABO is similar to that of the entertainment industry—it's still quite superficial. So, the combination of these two concepts is very novel and unique to me. I found this book on a popular online book reviewer's list. The reviewer's comment was concise and to the point: "Beautiful, strong, and tragic, it's really good." I got hooked out of curiosity, and after finishing it, I concluded that everything was perfect except for the cover and the lack of side stories. Indeed, it's a classic case of "beautiful, strong, and tragic—it's surprisingly appealing." Actually, when I was watching the first part, I really felt frustrated, the kind of frustrated feeling of helplessness. When I first watched it, I was completely puzzled. Was Yu Shiqing not good enough? Or was his acting not good enough? Or was he just not handsome enough? Is Hua Ze making decisions based on his own limited understanding? If they had any sense at all, they wouldn't have done something so foolish as to ignore a gem and use a fish eye instead. I was really angry and frustrated. I originally thought that Yu Shiqing had something on him that they had, but then I thought that didn't make sense. If he did have something on him, wouldn't they have squeezed him dry with their despicable methods? However, what I didn't expect was that what angered me even more than the evidence was the despicable means they used in signing the contract with Yu Shiqing. I know the entertainment industry is a cesspool, a place where filth and corruption are rampant, and there are probably many things even more despicable than this, but even so, I still can't swallow this humiliation. In this respect, I am completely incapable of Yu Shiqing's composure in the face of a collapsing mountain, nor do I possess Yu Shiqing's strong inner strength. Just like Ren Bai, I can't swallow this insult, and I'd like to kick Huaze a few times even if it means bringing it down! Even though I don't know much about the entertainment industry, I know that without exposure, an artist or actor is like a fleeting flower; becoming famous is difficult, and making a comeback is even more difficult. Before this, I had never understood the idiom "when things reach their worst, they begin to turn around" so clearly. And now… From the moment Jiang Yu and Yu Shiqing bumped into each other at the hotel entrance, things took a turn for the better. As for Jiang Yu's wise saying: What problems could two Alphas possibly have? Hmm~ Is someone strong and healthy enough to be easily pushed over?

    Curator note

    I remember initially reading this novel because of the word "doctor." At first, I thought it was a serious, educational novel, but the first few chapters had me laughing non-stop. It was a mix of laughter and heartache; even though the scene involved someone digging into a fairy castle, I still felt a pang of sadness and sympathy. After reading the story, I learned about the various pre- and post-operative complications of this seemingly minor surgery. Reading about Gu Ze urinating really made me feel his pain. I even witnessed myself urinating for the first time after my C-section, writhing in pain and bursting into tears! Although it was awkward, it was empathetic, deeply empathetic. Imagine Gu Ze being hospitalized alone, especially for hemorrhoid surgery—it must have been painful and embarrassing. Meeting her ex-boyfriend when she was at her lowest point was like trying to break free from a trap. And to make matters worse, her ex-boyfriend seemed to have an aura of purity and aloofness, like a flower on a high mountain. The contrast is so stark; even as a bystander, I feel sorry for Gu Ze and feel sorry for her! [Laughs] Actually, I didn't expect the story to take that turn. They moved in together under the pretext of taking care of Gu Ze since he was alone! Hmm, at first you seemed pretty nice, but later you turned out to be such a cunning and manipulative top. You even managed to act convincingly. Okay, fooling Gu Ze was enough; you're just too naive. [Facepalm] Youth is wonderful; mistakes and missed opportunities can be overcome with a fresh start if you seize the chance! Sometimes I have to admit that the reason I still enjoy reading these kinds of novels at my age is because I find the characters in them so energetic and fearless, and I can find all the qualities I lack in those books! Gu Ze has a somewhat pessimistic personality, while Dr. Bai is the complete opposite. It's understandable that they broke up at first; Gu Ze said they were incompatible. He's a carefree, easygoing, and innocent high school boy. Dr. Bai is assertive and controlling. He plans everything he does, like a well-written program—methodical, goal-oriented, and infallible. But no one is infallible, and plans can never keep up with changes. Once there's the first argument, there will be countless more. If communication fails, then the end is near. Living together isn't something one person can change on their own. Sometimes you think you're giving the other person space to cool down before discussing things again, but the other person might not understand and could even think you're using passive-aggressive tactics. Sometimes you feel you haven't done anything wrong, and you feel wronged, so you deliberately try to get the other person's attention, hoping they will comfort you. But the other person might think you have an unpredictable temper. Communication is never one-dimensional. One-dimensional communication is just lecturing. Over time, the moment you start trying to communicate, the other person will raise all their quills like a hedgehog to resist your lecture. Ineffective communication can cause a loving couple to part ways over trivial matters like cooking, cleaning, and household chores. They say we should cherish every moment as we go. Watching them reunite, they went from stumbling and falling like children learning to walk to walking steadily. After a reunion, she wanted to get back together and began pursuing him without any plan. One of them had been planning their reunion ever since the breakup. A broken mirror can be mended; though cracks remain, they are no longer a major problem.

    Curator note

    Friendly reminder 1: This long review contains a lot of insightful observations. Friendly reminder 2: Remember to read the text carefully, mwah! I read *The Divine Mirror* first, then *This Humble Monk*, so I subconsciously assumed it was also a fantasy novel rather than a martial arts novel. Even later on, this feeling kept popping into my head, and I kept wondering if certain place names or chapters were related. *The Divine Mirror* really has a powerful aftertaste! ╮(╯▽╰)╭ Like the Divine Mirror, I read this book by alternating between the official and pirated versions (I subscribed to both, except for the locked chapters of the Divine Mirror). To be honest, it took quite a bit of effort to see the unedited version of the super-luxury train. Although the train in this book is not as luxurious as the one in the Divine Mirror (the one in the Divine Mirror is practically a rocket; I still can't bear to recall the scene of the Seven Emotions battling the Tang Dynasty in the chapter about crossing the inner demons (°?°)B), it is still more luxurious than the bus in Little Green River. Fortunately, the one in Little Green River is not the dreamer of the Water Tyrant [doge]. Actually, I haven't read many novels featuring monks as the seme (dominant male lead). Well, there are only two that I've actually finished reading and felt unsatisfied with: "The Divine Mirror" and "This Humble Monk." Although I've tried to find substitutes on and off since then, the novels I found always felt like they lacked something. I can't quite put my finger on it; maybe it's that subtle sense of taboo and blasphemy? I remember that the door to a new world opened up for me because a discussion among readers in one of my books mentioned new uses of poetry, monks, the ruthless path, and right and wrong. Out of curiosity, I searched for "Divine Mirror" and was amazed from beginning to end. After finishing it, I immediately followed up with "This Humble Monk". This is one of the reasons why I mixed up the worldviews of these two books. Of course, since I read the two books back-to-back, I inevitably compared them with the works of Shi Fei, Shan Zai, Tang Shi, and Shen Du. Although I knew that the two books were fundamentally different, I just couldn't control my urge to compare them. However you compare them, there's no denying that I really, really like both couples. I'm totally obsessed with them, I can't stop. To be honest, in terms of pure Buddha-nature, Shanzai is no match for Shifei, but sometimes I wish Shifei had half the carefree spirit of Shanzai. If I could scheme like Shanzai even once, I wouldn't have been tortured so badly. The chessboard that was laid out from the very beginning, and the predetermined ending, were truly magnificent and full of ups and downs. I think that's the charm of long novels. However, I personally prefer the medium-length and long novels of "The Poor Monk". Although it has fewer plots and foreshadowing, it is easy to read in one go and does not take up too much time, which is very friendly to office workers like me who have little personal time. The inner demon of right and wrong is undoubtedly Tang Shi, while Shan Zai is the exact opposite; he is Shen Du's inner demon! Actually, I still miss the arrogant and unruly demeanor of Shen the Great Demon in the first few chapters. Although he remained arrogant and looked down on everyone later on, he could have been even more arrogant. [Doge] You take refuge in the Buddha, I take refuge in you. On a side note, I really like the way Gu Zhao, the leader of the righteous path, acts behind the scenes. The way he roasts people is so damn cool, especially when he roasts Shen the Demon (??`). .

    Curator note

    Because I hadn't read the synopsis, I initially thought this was a soul-transmigration novel due to the ring and the protagonist's obvious height. It wasn't until the descriptions of the original owner became increasingly strange that I realized it was a transmigration novel. Throughout the entire story, Shen Ruozhen can be described in only four words: a gentleman of impeccable character. Although born into wealth and privilege, and enjoying a fulfilling youth, he faced national turmoil and hardship, yet still shouldered the burden of his family and country. When he opened his eyes again, the war was over, and peace reigned. For Shen Ruozhen, the 21st century was a completely new era. Everywhere she looked, there were towering buildings, a strong nation, and prosperous people. Half a century has passed in the blink of an eye, and the devastation of the past has become history. This reminds me of the present, where neither the five permanent members of the UN Security Council should be underestimated, nor the announcement of new-generation aircraft, nor the launch of rockets again, can be as clear-cut as this year's anti-Japanese war trilogy. Our country is truly a completely different story. The crisis of 2016 is still fresh in our minds, but since then, our country has grown stronger day by day. They dare not act recklessly again. In the past, the only thing that came to mind when thinking about the anti-Japanese war was ridiculous dramas. Even the Nanjing drama from back then dared not show even a fraction of the truth. But the current trilogy is evident from the already released Photo Studio. I hope that 731, which was boycotted and removed from theaters by traitors, can be successfully released this time, so that we can never forget the history of national and personal grievances. The chapter that impressed me the most was the one about watching the flag-raising ceremony. I still remember how I was in tears back then, and it really touched me deeply. With the rejuvenation of our nation, no one will dare to trample on the blood-stained red flag anymore. Another one is the confession about the data center. From initial suspicion to thorough investigation, Xiang Mingzhang meticulously examined each step until the truth came to light. In this new time and space, Shen Ruozhen was no longer alone. There is someone who knows his name, identity, and origin. Stealing the wind but not the moon, the highest good is like water, reaching the pinnacle of good governance! Shen Ruozhen. Before this, no matter how wealthy the Chu family was, or how much his mother and sister loved him, he was just a passerby. He felt guilty for betraying that affection, which was a stolen identity and affection. A pipa melody echoes from the former site of the Fuxia Bank, playing a tune of bygone days, a lament for things changed and people gone. It speaks of perfect timing and the unknown stirrings of the heart. An old newspaper published by the cultural center tells of his lofty aspirations. Distribute hundreds of shares and thousands of gold coins to alleviate the suffering of the people. Pray for national peace and prosperity, and a bright and smooth future. I do not seek to be remembered in history books, but only to have a clear conscience. The past, that carefree and unrestrained laugh, while causing Xiang Mingzhang some doubts, also stirred an irrepressible flutter in his heart. From suspicion to uncovering the truth, from Chu Shichen to Shen Ruozhen, the more they investigated, the more fascinated they became. A gentleman, upright and refined like jade, mysterious yet unaware of his own folly. Their relationship developed naturally, restrained yet passionate. He has Xiang Mingzhang's wholehearted love in his heart, and Chu's mother's wholehearted love in his family. Although no loving mother would fail to recognize her own child, even if he already knew, Shen Ruozhen is still worth it! I am gratified by Shen Ruozhen's initiative to confess. Although it was a stolen identity, the maternal love that Chu's mother gave him still made her say that he deserved it. Whether it was Chu's mother or Xiang's mother, they were both the best mothers. A new century, a new beginning, a brand new chapter.

    The same sentence I came up with after watching it a second time: The sweeter this life is, the more bitter it was in the past. Cherish the present and live each day to the fullest. I don't really remember the details of the first time I read it, but I do remember learning a lot of useful knowledge from the book and how the author's writing was delicate and captivating. This is quite rare for a post-apocalyptic novel. After all, given the prevailing atmosphere and tone of post-apocalyptic fiction, aside from light comedies, it's almost impossible for serious fiction to avoid the pessimistic sense of despair inherent in post-apocalyptic stories. I haven't read that many post-apocalyptic novels, maybe ten or so! In "Undying," I saw the tragic heroism of soldiers; in "Mech," I saw the despair and resentment of those struggling to survive; and in the old-fashioned "Death of the World," I saw the passion. However, I saw hope in this book, "The Isolated Island". Even if this hope is only obtained after being reborn. Speaking of the first chapter of "The Island", it is easy to make people's blood pressure rise. It is said that people are bullied because they are kind. Capitalists are so ruthless that they don't treat people like human beings. In the eyes of his colleagues, Zhou Yun was just a temporary worker, naturally a grade lower than their formal employees, and not a real colleague. He was easy to bully and the best candidate to take the blame for the night shift. In his superiors' eyes, Zhou Yun was willing to stay at the hospital as a cheap laborer even after his contract expired, all for the sake of becoming a permanent employee. He was skilled in medicine, hardworking, and most importantly, poorly paid—he was practically the worst of the worst. Following the trajectory of his first life, Zhou Yun, in exile, clearly achieved great success in scientific research, but in the end, he only benefited others. As the saying goes, the sweeter this life is, the more bitter the past life was. In this second life, I saw so many possibilities, and the hope that lay beneath the butterfly effect. I am an illiterate person who can only read, and although I am a vegetable vendor, I know nothing about farming or agriculture. So when I saw Zhou Yun building and planning the aerial 'farm' bit by bit, I was nothing but shocked. This isn't the first book I've read about farming in a post-apocalyptic world, but it's the one that describes the farming process in the most detail. I've followed quite a few farming content creators on Bilibili, and after watching Zhou Yun's aerial 'farm,' I'm once again amazed. Shui Mu's superpower truly lives up to its reputation as a farming saint, making Zhou Yun, who was already very skilled, even more powerful. It truly proves the saying that novels aren't just for entertainment, they can also be educational! After reading it, I gained a little more useful knowledge. Although Zhou Yun was alone, he seemed to have a very fulfilling day. His preparations for the end of the world were busy but not chaotic, and he was organized and methodical. Chapter Three is titled "Waiting for Someone," and honestly, on my first read, I thought Guan Yuanfeng was Zhou Yun's lover from a past life. [Facepalm] It wasn't until later that she realized her past life wasn't the same as this one; however, the road to winning back her husband was long and arduous, even her teacher shook his head in disbelief. Thinking back on my two previous lives chasing after my husband (including the extra chapters), well, I can't think about it, it's too painful. But no matter what, it's best not to expose it at all; once it is exposed... Guan Ge YYDS Yun Zong 666 To be honest, I naively thought this book would also have a scene where the awful relatives slap you in the face, but I didn't expect it to be done so once and for all. Although it's a little less fun, it's really good that there are no frustrating scenes. I love the author's decisiveness and efficiency. Thumbs up!

    This is undoubtedly my favorite online game novel, bar none. As mobile games emerged and competitive gaming became popular, PC games gradually faded from people's view. However, those who truly loved PC games still do. Back then, I was one of those who loved them. I wasn't like I am now, with life's burdens bending my spine and society smoothing out my rough edges. Every day, I didn't wake up to thoughts of children, business, not showing a bad face, remembering to smile, and what to eat. As family pressures grow heavier, personal time is squeezed out, and every day I have to suppress the urge to scream and explode. But last night, when I took my two children home from the hospital to bathe them, I couldn't help but get angry. I didn't say anything, but I threw the bowl that had been sitting on the table for who knows how many days without being washed into the trash can in front of my husband, and smashed the chopsticks that were lying haphazardly on the ground. Arguing is too tiring. Since they never clean up or wash after eating, I might as well just throw them away. I really miss the carefree days of the past. It's no wonder that kids these days are addicted to the internet. Back then, I was just as addicted to games like Shumen and J3. Although I later chose J3 because Shumen was too expensive, I was really obsessed with it for two years. I still remember selling my painstakingly built game character back then to prevent future troubles. I listed it for 26,000 and finally sold it for 20,000, but the amount I invested was far more than 20,000. Tens of thousands more than ten years ago, it still makes my heart bleed when I think about it now. So, when I stumbled upon this book, "Ghost Server," back then, I was truly amazed. Every word in the book was filled with my own memories of playing the game. I remember setting up stalls and smashing equipment in Shumen, and even losing gear because of killing red-named players. I also remember running dungeons and raiding in J3, and messing around with minecarts and spinning windmills. I once witnessed a conflict between my commander and the Haoqi faction, where I lay on the ground with fewer than a hundred Haoqi players, watching as countless red-named players spammed "Mao Mao, Mo Yu is here to marry you!" In Nanping. That was the most disappointing moment I've experienced with the Haoqi faction in all my years of gaming. Later, time healed all wounds, and PVE became just as exciting. Rereading it after many years, I suddenly realized that most of the important characters had already appeared in the first chapter. Even the unlucky guy who caught the dragon in the East China Sea and the lucky star who got the top-quality orange weapon in Shennongjia flashed by like Easter eggs. There were surprises everywhere. To my shame, when I first saw "Ghost Server," I was put off by the fact that the healer was fat. But the more I watched, the more I felt that this was exactly what a kite should look like. To paraphrase a line from Silent Hill, "This is the first time I've seen an ID that perfectly matches the real person." She's fat, flirtatious, sarcastic, and has a damn sharp tongue. She's like a mind-reading master bird that's installed a camera in someone else's house, perfectly able to catch our wet nurse. Sometimes I wonder whether birds or monkeys kill more people? Think about it, someone else spent ten years killing fish at RT-Mart, while our little bird spent three months killing monkeys on Mount Emei. Ah! I only realized then that their love story began with a sneak attack and a swift counterattack. The kite says, "Mountains may not turn, but water will; how can a ghost stay forever?" Yes, and how can a person stay in the same place forever? Staying in the same place is only because you haven't met the person who makes you want to take the initiative to reach out to them. It still has to be you, Mom, uh, Grandma? Pfft~

All for the sake of survival. This story is a mishmash of zombies, mutated creatures, superpowers, ancient martial arts, cultivation, and more. Cultivation and ancient martial arts play only a minor role. The danmei and BG storylines run in parallel. Read with caution if these aren't your thing!

    Excerpt of a thousand words from that year's ten-thousand-word commentary: The article begins with a very realistic statement: "The world has never been fair." Indeed. The smart get richer and the stupid get poorer! Many things seem fair, but once you change your perspective and viewpoint, what seems fair might become a joke! If you started reading this story with the mindset of "read if it's good, drop if it's not," then after reading the second paragraph, you'll be reading on with the expectation that it might be good! The first character to appear in the article is Yangyang, who is not yet five years old! At the age of five, when people are just beginning to learn, let alone their outlook on life and values, they are still in a period of confusion about right and wrong. Looking back at the whole story, if you ask me who my favorite character is, it would undoubtedly be this little child, Yangyang! Zhang Yi doesn't have any powerful superpowers, strong connections, or any extraordinary advantages. He's just a father with a limp and a five-year-old child! His fighting skills might have been outstanding before the apocalypse, but in this zombie-infested world, his abilities are only enough to exchange for a few bran cakes and a bottle of water after a day's hard work! He's not useless, but it has to be said that in this era where he's being eaten by zombies and constantly on guard against being stabbed in the back by his own kind, he is indeed quite weak! Nan Shao is another main character in the story. Unlike Zhang Yi's downfall, it is clear from the few sentences in the text that he was a superior person before the apocalypse. Even though his standard of living was much lower than before the apocalypse, it was still much better than Zhang Yi's current life. However, since he is one of the useless protagonists, it is inevitable that people will be curious about what kind of wood-type ability Nan Shao has. The first thing that comes to my mind is a post-apocalyptic novel that I used to like. The protagonist in that novel has wood-type ability. It can be said that this kind of ability is far superior to other abilities in terms of attack, defense and healing. Seeing Nan Shao's wood-type ability and its introduction here, would saying "It will get better in the future" be slightly better than Zhang Yi's "Maybe he was too hungry"? The stark contrast between before and after the apocalypse, coupled with the consequences of his being bitten by a zombie and the outcome of his younger brother whom he had doted on for over a decade, suggests that Nan Shao's past was not entirely smooth sailing! One of them was a criminal police officer with a limp. One is a successful person who awakened a useless superpower and was abandoned by someone who had been pampered for many years. If you don't mind "I don't mind." A favor from six months ago, now a way of repaying it—it's both a coincidence and an inevitability that these two completely unrelated people can come together, isn't it! Even if they are still considered trash in the eyes of the awakened, in my eyes, they have nothing to do with the word "trash"! Even though they struggle to survive, and even without powerful abilities, they are not weaklings who fawn over those with superpowers and depend on the strong for survival. I really love how vivid and well-developed the personalities of the main characters in this story are.

    Excerpt of a thousand words from that year's ten-thousand-word commentary: Remembering Qi Mu in my mind. My strongest impression of Qi Mu is... Contradictory. I don't know how to describe him; he's a bit complicated! He's an author, and quite well-known among BL (Boys' Love) authors, but unlike others, his fans are all anti-fans. To be honest, when I first read the story, I was very curious about what kind of plot an author could write that would be relentlessly criticized by readers for four years or even longer, when the author was not writing fan fiction and had not plagiarized. And when I saw that simplistic and crude "I love you, but you don't love me, so I'll keep proposing" scenario... It was just cheesy. The only two words that came to mind were, "So melodramatic." I haven't read any novels with the so-called "scumbag seme and slut uke" trope, so I don't know much about ukes who have this "slut" quality. However, after reading Saiki's later introduction of the protagonist with the same name as him in his story, I gained a little understanding of him. That is, a shameless and desperate pursuit of love. Therefore, without knowing what "submissive" meant, the term "submissive" gradually took shape in my mind. The theme of this story is "comeback." Whether from the literal meaning or the intended message, the meaning of this story is quite clear! I couldn't help but wonder how Qi Mu, who had been writing among his friends for six years without revealing any secrets, would turn the tables on the Qi Mu under his writing. From his handling of haters, I can see that his nerves are beyond the reach of ordinary people. But I never imagined that his nerves could be so strong! I haven't read many time-travel novels, but I've read a fair number of them, and I have some understanding of the various reactions after time travel, but none of them have reacted like Qi Mu. At that moment, I even wondered if he was just too resilient or too thick-skinned; his ability to accept and adapt was astonishing. But what impressed me even more was Qi Mu's way of thinking! In this situation, an ordinary person would be terrified if they regained consciousness and found themselves alone in a strange place with their limbs bound and all five senses lost. Nothing is more frightening to people than the unknown. However, the first thing Qi Mu noticed after he regained consciousness was that he had been kidnapped. It's understandable to have such insights under those circumstances! However, I was speechless at Qi Mu's subsequent self-questioning. Qi Mu, are you just amusing yourself? Regardless, once I got here, I began to admire Qi Mu. His ingenious thinking and his ability to adapt to his environment both impressed me. But, in the end, he was still an ordinary person. I didn't think that Qi Mu was particularly despicable. On the contrary, I thought that Qi Mu was exceptionally pure, not just simple-minded, but truly pure. Without mind or self, without fear or dread, without good or evil, without right or wrong, everything is driven by instinct.

    This is really a long time ago. I remember reading "Abundance" first, and then reading "Refinement" after it was half-finished. Now I don't really remember how I felt when I read "Abundance". I was too young back then and couldn't really appreciate the beauty of abundance. So, compared to "Abundance", which was more well-received at the time, I prefer "Refinement". Actually, so many years have passed, and I really can't remember the details. I only remember the general plot. In my mind, this book is on the same level as "Ghost Clothes" and "Forget Each Other" in the old-school literature category. The reason it didn't rise to the level of a "white moonlight" or "cinnabar mole" is because it has already ended and didn't keep me thinking about it. It's true that what you can't have is what you miss the most Q▽Q The premise of this book is the bond between ordinary people. Mu Yu and An Ran are very ordinary people. They don't have any impressive education or background. They are just ordinary people. Perhaps it is this ordinariness that makes me empathize with them so much back then. Unlike the common trope nowadays where one of the male leads is from a prestigious family and over 190cm tall, I don't know when it started, but people between 175cm and 185cm are now considered short. To be honest, it's rare to see stories with a male lead shorter than 180cm these days. = =B "Exquisite" is a first-person narrative told from An Ran's perspective. At that time, I was truly immersed in their story, laughing and crying along with the ups and downs of the plot. Among the few vague memories I have, I still remember their first encounter, the book Mu Yu put under her pillow, An Ran's record of his 'loan' with Mu Yu, Mu Yu's severed finger, An Ran's confession from afar, Mu Yu's expression at the time, An Ran's heartache when she learned why Mu Yu didn't like sesame seeds, and even more so, the handprint of Mu Yu's severed finger in the general office, and the scene where An Ran vomited blood and fainted. Finally, I still remember that figure that I couldn't find anywhere, that bank card that was no longer in use, the sweater that An's mother knitted for Muyu, the bottle of medicine that fell on the ground and was never picked up, An's father's back view, and the words, "Anran, you said you lost your lover, but you were lucky enough to find him again. But I lost the person who was with me for a lifetime, and I can never find him again." Anran's parents' love for their children was one of not wanting to hurt them even if they didn't understand them, and it was about fulfilling their needs without wanting to be a burden. As for Muyu's mother, to be honest, I don't want to think about her; from Muyu's perspective, she was a negligent mother. Mu Yu is from humble beginnings. When he first met An Ran, An Ran mistook him for a beggar and even threw him a coin. The second time they met, he was covered in dirt and using an ATM under An Ran's guidance. The third time they met, An Ran was his account teller (if I remember correctly, I should be two or three days older than Mu Yu?). Later, Mu Yu said, "I'll carry you." From the moment An Ran tossed the coin to Mu Yu, their paths crossed; fate is truly wondrous.

    This is my white moonlight, and Qidian's "Dark Blood Age" is my cinnabar mole. The last unit of the "Seven Elements" series, and my absolute favorite unit. I wonder if I'll ever see the second volume of "Wandering the World" in my lifetime? Probably not. And what follows is something I wrote twelve years ago, so embarrassingly bad. Tian Shu, Tian Xuan, Tian Ji, Tian Quan, Yu Heng, Kai Yang, Yao Guang. Fallen immortals become demons, refine golden crows, associate with demons, become entangled with ghosts, and accompany demons—each has their own unique fate. Cool, fiery, resolute, unrestrained—each has its own unique character. But what moves me most is the leader, Tian Shu, who has the power to defy fate yet adheres to the laws of heaven. The Greedy Wolf Star has existed in the sky since ancient times. Despite being at the pinnacle of the heavens, it is only granted the position of a minor star lord. Although it was born a god, it has to face the exclusion of other immortals. But even so, it cannot move the leader of the Heavenly Pivot in the slightest. For millennia, the only person the eldest brother could truly care about was the aloof and lonely Star Lord Tianxuan. An unfinished game of chess, a cup of tea long since cooled and now bitter. Finally, the usually aloof person was plucked from the heavens into the arms of his wolf demon with fiery passion, and from then on, he had someone by his side, and someone to continue the game of hot tea and chess. The eldest brother remains single, adhering to the laws of heaven, upholding destiny, and vanquishing demons and monsters. Blood stained the chisel of Pangu. The leader of the Seven Stars, the inauspicious star Tanlang, invites calamity to anyone who gets close to him. No one dares to overstep his bounds, not even his fellow clansmen Po Jun, Yao Guang, Wu Qu, and Kai Yang. The ancient divine dragon, a noble among dragons, was revered throughout the four seas. Yet, it disregarded the laws of Heaven, reversing the universe and inverting Yin and Yang, twice defying Heaven to attack the Supreme Being. Protecting the Way of Heaven! Defying the Way of Heaven! In the end, it's all just about destiny. When a thought arises, all beings exist. When a thought ceases, all perish. Yet these two extreme individuals are also the ones who understand each other best. As Lao Ying once said: Neither you nor I seem to have the habit of turning enemies into friends. The boss asked: Is it really a case of either friend or foe? Enemy or friend? Fate or calamity? Love or affection? The Demon-Sealing Tower was destroyed, the four corners of the world were ruined, heaven and earth collapsed, and all living beings suffered. This battle was inevitable for them. Although the eldest brother hesitated, he still upheld the will of Heaven. Defying Heaven is unforgivable, you will be punished. Compared to the earth-shattering battle two thousand years ago, this battle is even more intense. Love arises without knowing its origin, and what the heart is attached to, the old man ultimately did not want to see the celestial pivot burn out its star essence and fall into the sky. He sacrificed his life to refine the pearl, his body was buried in Kunlun Hill, the twelve dragon guards perished together, and the four sea dragon kings sacrificed themselves to support the sky. The seven elements will dispel misfortune and restore peace to the world. The sigh-like "response" from the leader of Tian Shu under the Demon Locking Tower added a touch of tenderness to the otherwise stirring text. The battle at the Demon-Sealing Tower should have been firmly imprinted in the heart of Tian Shu, who adheres to the Heavenly Dao. In his travels, he should say: "Even if I harbor ill intentions towards you, who in heaven and earth, in the three realms and six paths, dares to utter a single word of dissent?" Tian Shu said, "To me, you are the only one."
