In the heat of passion, he pressed close to Zhu Shen's neck and murmured, "...Big brother." Zhu Shen grabbed h 17.1kFavorites5.6kClicks/ch2.5kGifts

   I skimmed through this book, reading "The Confession" before finishing the VIP version. The love-hate entanglement between these two is very deep, and the plot took an unexpected turn, leaving a lasting and poignant impression. The author frequently uses flashbacks, which are quite abrupt, and some I didn't quite understand. The romance seems to be based on love at first sight, followed by a rekindling of a past relationship (?). Yanxing's love is disguised as hatred. Hezhi's love is driven by self-interest, with genuine feelings following. Both are slow to realize their feelings. Let's start with Yanxing. I think the phrase "hatred is an overwhelming sense of injustice" perfectly describes him. Yanxing experienced several major turning points in his life, all related to Hezhi. However, Hezhi forgot what he had done, while Yanxing remembered it all. Every time Yanxing wanted to die, Hezhi interrupted him, forcing him to live in agony because of Hezhi. Later, Yanxing wanted revenge on Hezhi, wanting Hezhi to fall into hell at his happiest moment. So, Yanxing approached, helped, and seduced Hezhi, playing the role of Hezhi's ideal perfect lover. Yanxing thought he was only pretending to like Hezhi, but he had already fallen in love. Hezhi, on the other hand, initially only wanted to make money by turning Yanxing's experiences into a movie, and never fully accepted Yanxing's perfect love. Although Hezhi was a late bloomer, he remembered Yanxing's likes and dislikes, silently doing things, and internally distinguishing Yanxing from others. They went through a lot together afterward. He Yi witnessed Yan Xing's vulnerability and true nature beneath his composed exterior before finally facing his own love for him and wanting to be honest with him. This confession, in my opinion, is the most brilliant part of the book. It revisits earlier foreshadowing and creates a lot of dramatic tension. I won't elaborate further; you can savor it as you read. In short, the dog-cat dynamic is absolutely delicious! In short, the plot revolves around five very different people and five dogs with distinct personalities teaming up to compete. It's quite interesting, with well-developed characters. The team's interactions are adorable, filled with playful bickering and arguments, yet they all genuinely care for each other. It's a very enjoyable story about the Olympics, told through the lens of dogs.

   Both are strong, imperfect characters, but this makes them feel real. Their personalities complement each other perfectly. Even knowing the plot is unfavorable, 1 bravely resists. While experiencing confusion and disappointment along the way, 1 does his best to carve out a path—though bumpy, achievable—for himself, his friends, family, and loved ones. 0 is highly goal-oriented, pursuing his goals relentlessly. His emotions may seem cold, but he's actually very direct, pushing 1 further when 1 hesitates. He lives in the moment, without looking back, and is very decisive. In short, this young couple are pioneers in this setting, doing what most people wouldn't dare, and taking on what most people wouldn't take on. Their emotions are genuine, and their reflections on life's dilemmas are very inspiring. Although the author has some verbal tics, it makes the characters feel real and vivid, very lifelike.

   There's no romantic pairing, but the protagonist's character is very well-developed. He's the kind of person who can turn the tide and save the day. In the book's institutional framework, where most people are vying for power and profit, the protagonist's pure heart for the people and the country stands out as precious. The protagonist is intelligent yet compassionate; part 535 is particularly delicious. From having nothing to becoming the ruler of the world, the protagonist put in a tremendous amount of effort. However, I feel one thing is regrettable: many things weren't fully explained until the end. For example, the fates of some important supporting characters, and the subsequent impact of the protagonist's efforts to benefit the people before becoming the ruler. It feels like it ended abruptly.

    An asymmetrical competitive game. The gameplay is understandable even without playing the game. A very sweet and innocent young couple, adorable. The author is witty, the writing pace is excellent, the details are well-balanced, and it's very funny. A cute top and a cold bottom, both are very pure in their love. Two kinds of people who can't sleep in the same bed, both a little bit chuunibyou (adolescent delusions of grandeur). The teammates each have their highlights, their passion, and their dreams.

    A British and American rock and roll story. The main plot revolves around the protagonist and his friends forming a band and touring the world. But what I find most captivating is that it's not just a story about the entertainment industry; it also explores the people and events of that era, their pain and struggles, and their admirable qualities. During their tour, the band encounters many things, gaining a deeper understanding of the world and encouraging readers to reflect and grow alongside the band. While reading this book, I learned many things I didn't know before and gained a more profound understanding of familiar people and their experiences. Furthermore, I think the ensemble cast is exceptionally well-written; the characters are all flesh and blood, yet the overall tone isn't heavy. It has a magical quality that makes you want to keep reading from one page to the next.

Well, he could be a “Sherlock Holmes 2.0,” “Poirot’s godson,” or “Conan’s big brother”… Or he could just take the civil service exam and become a police officer.
