   I've read this book twice, and each time I could only get to about halfway through before I couldn't continue. It's not that the writing is bad, it's just too good. The emotions and feelings are so real that they break my heart. I can't bear to see a girl who has steadily progressed, praised as a genius, suddenly lose her confidence. That subtle pain, like falling from a pedestal, terrifies me. It's so similar. An Chang's life experience is so similar to my own. A genius from a quiet small town, she was never arrogant or impatient, but deep down she had confidence and pride in her field. When she reached a position admired by most people, she even believed in herself that she was truly a genius, experiencing a small surge of joy and pride. But when she encountered a real, unattainable genius, she felt a sense of inferiority. Whether it's Nan Xiaoxue or Yan Lingge, they are both geniuses like this, even pushing themselves to the extreme. There are differences between geniuses. When the former meets the latter, whether they want to admit it or not, the former will feel inferior, especially after experiencing setbacks and being unable to shine even brighter. The delicate heartache I feel when encountering such a person is frightening. The author's writing is delicate and realistic; that realism pierces my heart. Even though I know An Chang will ultimately shine, I'm still afraid. An Chang has an absolutely successful ending, but I don't know if I can regain my confidence. I don't even have her talent and courage. We have similar pasts, but my future is uncertain. This is why I think this is a masterpiece, yet I can never seem to finish reading it. Best wishes, An Chang.
