   Curator note

   In an era where a single misstep in a chapter can trigger a major controversy, it's truly admirable that someone is still willing to meticulously craft and develop a character over a long period. Writing endearing, naive, and sweet characters is difficult; a poorly written one can easily turn them into genuine fools. However, this book is clearly very successful. The protagonist isn't your average naive and sweet character; he's wise beyond his years, possessing great intelligence. It's just that people are blinded by fame and fortune, unable to see his pure and bright heart (possessed by Shen Mingming). I'm easily swayed by the characters' emotions when reading, and in this book, every time I was about to get emotional, Shen Tingting would interrupt the spell. But for Li Sui's collapsing world, it was like God saying, "Let there be laughter," and so the world was filled with sunshine and laughter again. Gradually, flowers bloomed on the ruins, grass grew on the wasteland, and sunlight streamed through the clouds, giving life a new vitality. The romance between the young couple is incredibly sweet. Every time Shen Tingting speaks, the atmosphere becomes sweet, and watching Li Sui succumb to her charm is both hilarious and heartwarming. The story begins with such a bittersweet backdrop, increasing the difficulty of their mutual journey, yet the couple remains inseparable, like magnets drawn to each other. They are a match made in heaven! The romance in this book is absolutely delightful, and as the author says, don't worry too much about the political intrigue; everything serves the love between the young couple. I think it's well-written and deserves a high reward!

Feel free to check it out if you’re interested. 2024.1.13] The paranormal returned, and the world became a playground for evil spirits. The most terrifying monster of them all had been called Ying Zhou when he was alive. It evolved from a low-level menace into a great demon king capable of destroying the world.

   Curator note

   When I first read the novel, I couldn't tell if Tai Sui and Ying Zhou were the same person. The reading was so confusing that I planned to reread it in a few months. Now that I've finished my second viewing and read the epilogue that I ignored the first time, I think I understand. Ying Zhou is not Tai Sui. Tai Sui is Ying Zhou's past self, the source of his pain, and the "old self" he must say goodbye to. Tai Sui is the past that Ying Zhou must kill and inherit. In the end, when confronting Tai Sui, Ying Zhou dissects himself, facing the pain and imperfections he carries. Stripping away Tai Sui is to concretely separate and separate the painful self from the past; Piercing the heart is the end of that state of being dominated by pain; Receiving the white flower means inheriting memories and the future, but not the pain itself. The knife that ultimately killed Tai Sui, and the flower given by Tai Sui, represent the courage to end suffering and the new life that inherits memories and love, respectively. The "old self" was treated like a toy by the world, defined by pain, and manipulated by others. He was exhausted, full of resentment, and consumed by suffering. Yingzhou ended that "old self" and, as the "new self" born from it, continued to live and embrace a new life. He still has flaws, negative emotions, and pain; these haven't disappeared. But his mindset has shifted from "hating his flawed self" to "I am still worthy of love despite my imperfections." The pain hasn't disappeared, but it's no longer what he fears, no longer what he runs away from, and no longer the only coordinate that defines him. He will eventually no longer need to live in pain, just as the New Year's ending said, he will eventually heal. PS: A brief discussion of the main characters' romantic relationships. I really don't think there's anything wrong with Si Mao and Ying Zhou being together. Don't say Si Mao is just a background character; Si Mao and Ying Zhou are clearly bound together through thick and thin and are present throughout the entire story. Moreover, Si Mao's love is unlike Xun Yu's, which is mixed with guilt; Yuan Wenxin's, which is mixed with righteousness; and Jin Baiyu, who is just a madman... Si Mao's love is the kind of love that Ying Zhou needs most—unreserved, pure love! As for Yuan Wenxin, firstly, her arrogance had faded, and secondly, Ying Zhou himself didn't want to have an affair with his brother. Besides, Yuan Wenxin simply couldn't provide the qualities Ying Zhou wanted in a lover, not to mention that this guy had been relentlessly pushing himself into the position of Ying Zhou's parents and brothers from the very beginning. Xun Yu can only be described as meeting the wrong person at the wrong time, in the wrong way. He is unmoved by anything except genuine affection, and his defeat upon his first appearance was destined by fate. Jin Baiyu is extremely twisted; his extreme emotions will destroy Yingzhou. Such unhealthy love is not what Yingzhou desires. If you pay attention, you'll notice that the author always chooses the protagonist's favorite lover. The protagonist's partner is someone he needs and who he's compatible with, not someone the readers like. In short, Tianzhou and Tianzhou are undoubtedly a match made in heaven!

   Curator note

   The main characters are well-developed; the protagonist is strong, rational, gentle, and resilient. I would call the romantic relationship the "white rose" (the dominant male lead) and the "red rose" (the teacher). The protagonist has the "heartthrob" quality, but he deserves it. My absolute favorite character in the entire book is Mama's Boy Yuen. As the first being to give the protagonist pure love, Yuen's selfless love nourished the protagonist's heart and gave him the courage to believe in love. The bond between the parent and child is truly heartwarming (tears welling up). Many people say the male lead is just a background character, but every time he appears, it's a meaningful appearance, advancing the relationship and developing his character at the same time. After watching, you'll know that the male lead is the most suitable lover for the protagonist. The world-building framework is well-developed, and while there are minor flaws in the details, they do not detract from the overall excellence. The plot strikes a good balance between seriousness and humor, making it a very enjoyable watch to finish in one go. Supplementing the love line: Si Chen's needs in love are stability, security, and warmth, which are precisely what Ji Chuyao silently provides and consistently delivers. He doesn't let his love put pressure on Si Chen, and this thoughtfulness is the foundation upon which Si Chen gradually accepts him. Even up until the Stargazing instance (before his death), Song Bai repeatedly made Si Chen feel threatened and uneasy—wanting to eat Si Chen, wanting Si Chen to have offspring, and even wanting to kill Si Chen. Is there tension? Absolutely. But what about Si Chen? Is Si Chen willing? Does Si Chen yearn for it? Does Si Chen need these things? Therefore, Si Chen cannot choose Song Bai, no matter how much tension there is. The very tension is precisely why Si Chen won't choose Song Bai. To reiterate: the protagonist's lover is someone they need and who is compatible with them. Don't make choices for the protagonist, and don't let the protagonist fall in love with anyone for them.

    Curator note

    The writing style leans towards light novels, with numerous references to academic topics, ideologies, and anime/manga culture, and is filled with dark humor. The protagonist, Ning Mingmei, transforms from a power-hungry official into an idealist. He is not a traditional, righteous protagonist. He establishes an academic clique system to overthrow the traditional cultivation system, which actually promotes the equal distribution of cultivation resources. However, he believes that "I am just using more familiar rules to build a social system that benefits myself." Ning Mingmei's growth is depicted as "transforming from a dragon back into a hero," a process of "thoughts maturing before ideals sprout." Many characters, including the protagonist, reflect aspects of the author's own thoughts. While the story possesses considerable depth, it unfortunately fails to meet the spiritual needs of the masses during a period of economic downturn. The author's intentions not only suffer but also risk attracting criticism. From my personal perspective, considering both its entertainment value and its seriousness, it's still definitely worth watching.
